Le Havre (HAC) unveiled their home football shirt made by their new kit manufacturer Airness for the 2008-2009 season.
Le Havre is known as 'les ciel et marine' in France, which translates as 'the sky and navy blues'. These colours were chosen by the club's English founders as they were those of their alma maters, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Founded in 1872 makes it the oldest football and rugby club registered in France. Football began being played on a regular basis in 1894, so technically FC Mulhouse could be considered the first French football team being established in 1893 (however, they were a German team at the time).
