The sky and white of Hauts-de-Seine.
From the first champion of France to the title of 2016
Heir to the Racing Club de France, Racing 92 wins the very first French championship in 1892. They are crowned again in 1900, 1902 and 1959, and then in 1990, in a final against Agen that remains famous for the pink bow ties of the group nicknamed the Show-bizz, led by Franck Mesnel and Jean-Baptiste Lafond. On June 24, 2016, at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, the club beats Toulon 29 to 21 despite an early dismissal and clinches a new Brennus, with Dan Carter at fly-half.

Paris La Défense Arena and sky and white
Since 2017, Racing plays at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, the largest indoor venue in Europe, featuring a synthetic pitch and a movable stand that allows it to host concerts as well. The jersey features sky and white, the colours of Racing Club de France since the late nineteenth century. The club has kept the quirky spirit of the Show-bizz in its outfits: its alternative jerseys explore other shades, like a white model accented with gold touches and navy and sky stripes, presented for the European Cup.
Stadium or authentic: which one to use
The Nike jerseys of Racing 92 come in two levels. The Stadium version, or supporter version, has a straight cut and breathable fabric that is easy to wear daily, in the stands or at the office the day after a win. The authentic version, worn by players, is lighter, more fitted and more stretchy, designed for performance. You choose your size based on your chest measurement, keeping in mind that the player fit hugs the body. The children's sizes allow young sky and white supporters to wear the same design as their idols.
