Clermont jerseys, the yellow and blue of ASM

From the club of lost finals to the Brennus trophies of 2010 and 2017

Founded in 1911 by Marcel Michelin under the name of the Sports Association Michelin, ASM Clermont Auvergne has long carried the label of a cursed club, beaten in the championship final many times. The breakthrough came on May 29, 2010: Clermont defeated Perpignan at Stade de France and finally lifted the Bouclier de Brennus, followed by a second title in 2017 against Toulon. In Europe, the club won the European Challenge in 2007 and 2019, and reached three Champions Cup finals in 2013, 2015, and 2017.

Marcel-Michelin, the Yellow Army and the yellow and blue

Clermont plays at the Marcel-Michelin stadium, in the heart of the Montferrand district, just steps away from the group's factories. Its supporters, the Yellow Army, have seen their team achieve a long and famous streak of home wins, and they travel in numbers during the finals. The yellow and blue jersey, which gives the players the nickname Jaunards, colours the whole town on match nights: the colour is so tied to the club that it's referred to as a yellow tide when their supporters invade a stadium.

Supporter version or authentic: the right Clermont fit

The yellow home jersey, accented in blue, remains the symbol of the ASM and the most natural choice to join the Yellow Army in the stands. In supporter version, its straight cut and robust fabric are easy to wear daily, even over a broad build. In authentic version, lighter and fitted, it uses the players' fabric: it's best to go up a size if you're not built like a back-row forward. For a gift when the exact size is unknown, the supporter cut remains the safest bet.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clermont sometimes play in blue or white?

Yes, its away and alternate kits often favour blue, white, or dark shades, sometimes featuring a pattern reminiscent of the Auvergne volcanoes. Yellow remains the colour of the home jersey.

What size Clermont jersey for a child?

Children's sizes are expressed in age and follow the adult design. For a young player in rugby school who's growing fast, one size up from their age gives them room without being restrictive.

Are vintage Clermont jerseys sought after?

Yes, particularly those from the titles in 2010 and 2017, and the older AS Montferrandaise jerseys, which have a more understated design. They remind supporters of the great days of Marcel-Michelin.

How to care for a yellow jersey?

The bright yellow can fade quickly if washed with dark textiles: it should be washed at thirty degrees, turned inside out, with light colours. Air dry in the shade and avoid tumble dryers to maintain its brightness and prints.

What does ASM mean?

ASM stands for Montferrand Sports Association, named after Montferrand, the former town that joined with Clermont to form Clermont-Ferrand. The club added Clermont Auvergne to its name to assert its regional roots.
