OGC Nice and Kappa have unveiled the 25/26 fourth shirt, the “Populaire Sud”, a tribute to four decades of Ultra culture at the club. More than a kit, the shirt is a statement of identity, memory, and the raw energy that has defined the South Stand since 1985.
A Jersey Born from the Stands
The Populaire Sud was developed through close collaboration between OGC Nice, Kappa, and representatives of the Populaire Sud supporters’ group. It marks the 40th anniversary of the collective that has filled the South Stand with noise, colour, and unwavering loyalty since its formation in 1985. This is a shirt shaped by the people who live it.
Design and Details
Minimalism drives the aesthetic. The shirt is predominantly black, chosen to symbolise unity, loyalty, and collective identity. Red accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs inject the club’s DNA without breaking the monochrome flow.
The club crest appears front and centre, subtly updated with the years 1985 – 2025 beneath it. On the back of the collar, the Populaire Sud emblem takes pride of place, paired with the group’s motto “Honour and Loyalty”. Inside the collar, “40 ans” seals the tribute.
Derby Debut and Launch Campaign
The shirt will make its on‑pitch debut during the Derby de la Côte d’Azur against Olympique de Marseille on Friday 21 November at 8:45pm CET. The launch campaign features players and Ultras photographed together at symbolic locations spanning both the Stade du Ray and the Allianz Riviera, as well as sites across the city. It is a visual statement that the Populaire Sud spirit is embedded in the urban fabric of Nice.
Voices Behind the Shirt
Tchoa, President of Populaire Sud, emphasised the significance of the collaboration: “We are proud the club accepted our request to work together to create this shirt which celebrates the 40th anniversary of our group. It is a great sign of recognition for all those who – for so many years – have breathed life into this stand and supported Le Gym.”
Rémi Garnier, Commercial Director at Kappa, added: “This shirt perfectly illustrates the spirit of collaboration that binds us with OGC Nice. At Kappa, we are proud to join with the club to create this shirt which is more than just a piece of sporting equipment. It is a symbol of belonging and passion.”
More Than a Kit
The Populaire Sud is a celebration of those who built the atmosphere at Nice long before modern stadium lights and broadcast cameras arrived. It is a nod to the past, a marker of the present, and a flag carried into the future. A jersey for the stand, by the stand – forged in smoke, song, and shared history.
