The green Manufrance long-sleeved shirt embodies one of the most glorious periods in the history of AS Saint-Étienne. In the 1970s, Les Verts dominated French football and became a national symbol. Worn during the legendary era of sponsor Manufrance, this shirt is associated with a golden generation that has left an indelible mark on the collective memory.
Under the presidency of Roger Rocher and with iconic players such as Jean Michel Larqué, Oswaldo Piazza, Dominique Rocheteau and Ivan Curkovic, Saint-Étienne won numerous national titles and established itself as the benchmark for French football. The pinnacle of this epic journey was the 1976 European Cup final in Glasgow against Bayern Munich. Despite the defeat, this European campaign forged the legend of Les Verts and united the whole of France behind its team.
The green jersey emblazoned with the Manufrance logo became a symbol of popular pride. It represents a time when Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium vibrated to the rhythm of European exploits and when Saint-Étienne embodied the hope and passion of an entire country. The long sleeves, often worn during big European nights, further reinforce this historical dimension.
Today, this retro shirt pays tribute to that heroic generation and the unique identity of ASSE. It is not just a piece of clothing, but a fragment of French football history, a testament to a team that inspired an entire nation.
