This is the new St Etienne 09/10 third kit made by adidas. The kit was worn for the first time in the match against AS Monaco.
A.S. Saint-Étienne was created in 1919 by members of the Amicale des employés de la Société des magasins Casino: members of the employees' Union of the Casino grocery chain. Since green was the colour of the chain, green jerseys were also adopted.
