When we talk about Le Coq Sportif, we are talking about one of the leading brands in the world of sportswear. The brand was founded in France in 1882 by Emile Camuset, who began by designing sportswear for his friends and acquaintances, without realising that he was laying the foundations for what is now Le Coq Sportif.
As the decades passed and the brand became firmly established in the worlds of tennis, rugby and football, ‘the sporting rooster’ reached a defining moment in 1986 when it sponsored the Argentine national team’s kit; as you all know, led by Maradona, the team went on to win the long-awaited World Cup title.
The Le Coq Sportif jersey has gone down in history, as it was the jersey worn when the so-called ‘greatest goal of all time’ was scored – and, of course, during the ‘Hand of God’ incident – events that have become part of the history of world football and which have, as a result, etched the brand’s rooster logo into the memory of every football fan.
In the years that followed, the French brand continued to demonstrate the exceptional quality of its products and established itself as a benchmark in the world of cycling, becoming the official supplier to the Tour de France. Furthermore, with a state-of-the-art technology centre, the brand also focused on lifestyle, providing us with garments of outstanding quality.
Today, the rooster symbol can be found on the kits of various teams in tennis, football, basketball, rugby and many other sports where Le Coq Sportif aims to have a presence. For example, we see its logo on the kits of clubs such as Gimnasia Esgrima de la Plata and Saint-Étienne.
