LOCAL KNOW-HOW

  • The COQ SPORTIF story began in the café of a small town in the Aube region, Romilly-sur-Seine, a centre of French textile expertise since the early 19th centur

  • In this bar run by Émile Camuset, a sports enthusiast, all the amateurs of the region meet. They talk about football, cycling, rugby and gymnastics. They prepare the weekend's matches. The results are commented on with great enthusiasm. Young and old, professionals and simple enthusiasts, all meet at the "Bar Romillon" for the love of sport.

    One day, Emile Camuset had the idea of using the local hosiery know-how to make sportswear and equip local, soon national and later international clubs. The year was 1882: LE COQ SPORTIF became the world's first sports brand!

    140 years later, it is the same spirit of the origins, made of passion, proximity and conviviality, that still drives us. Our history and our legends, our products and our quality standards, our athletes and our clubs, our commitments and our values all bear witness to this. LE COQ SPORTIF is a committed French sports brand.

EMPREINTE

This is the name of the Manifesto for a committed sport, signed by Le Coq Sportif and its athletes.

Attached to the values of proximity and sharing, Le Coq Sportif wanted to engage with its athletes in a reflection on the values that inspire them on a daily basis. This Manifesto is the expression of this. Behind the singularity of each person is the unanimously shared desire to leave a positive mark. The imprint of those who, through the exemplary nature of their career, write and mark the history of their sport, but also of society. Written by and for Le Coq Sportif athletes, the "Empreinte" Manifesto brings together and commits the brand's sports ambassadors.

THE IMPRINTED MANIFESTO OF THE COQ SPORTIF AND ITS ATHLETES

This Manifesto is written according to the principle of acrostics: each letter of the word EMPREINTE expresses a strong value, shared by our collective of athletes. It was written using the real words that these great athletes use to talk about their relationship with sport.
