Stade de Reims faced Real Madrid in the 1959 European Cup final, losing 4-3, the same result that they suffered at the hands of their Spanish opponents three years earlier in the final.
The French side have paid homage to that final in 1959, which this season will be its 60th anniversary, with their third strip which they will use for the first time against Rennes on Sunday, October 28th.
The design takes the white of Real Madrid with maroon elements especially on the sides.
