Nice at 123: From the Gymnaste Club's blue and black to the red and black 'Eaglets'
09 Jul
Posted Bynikos0 Comment(s)2 View(s)
On 9 July 1904, in the Les Baumettes district of Nice, a club was born that at first did not even play football. OGC Nice turn 123 on 9 July 2027. And their first colours were not the red and black we know today.
A gymnastics club
The Gymnaste Club de Nice was founded by the Marquis de Massengy d'Auzac, Hector Gal and A. Martin, who became its first president. As the name suggests, the focus was on gymnastics and athletics.
Football entered the club's life in 1908, through a split: the sections other than boules became the Gymnastes Amateurs Club and set up a football team. In 1910 the two sides reunited.
On 22 December 1924 the club was renamed Olympique Gymnaste Club de Nice, hence OGC. The word "Olympique" was very fashionable, as France had just hosted the Olympic Games.
From blue and black to red and black
The Gym's first colours were blue and black. The change came in 1919, when Gallia Football Athlétic Club joined it.
That is when red and black were adopted, according to the club out of respect for the city's oldest football team, Football Vélo Club de Nice. The vertical stripes first appeared in 1940-41 and became permanent from 1948-49.
The old colours were not forgotten. In 1970-71 the team wore a blue shirt with a broad white band and red and black trim, and for the 120th anniversary in 2024 a third shirt came out with stripes and badges in gold.
The eagle of Nice
The players are called "Les Aiglons", the Eaglets, after the eagle on the crest. It is one of the city's oldest symbols: a red eagle appears around 1430, in statutes granted by Amadeus VIII of Savoy.
The only number ever retired in the club's history is 17. It was retired in May 2014, after Kévin Anin's serious accident.
The golden 1950s
Nice lived their greatest moments in the 1950s. They won four league titles, in 1951, 1952, 1956 and 1959, and two French Cups, in 1952, the year of the double, and 1954.
The leader of that team was captain Pancho González, while Victor Nurenberg is the club's all-time top scorer in the top flight with 89 goals. A young Just Fontaine also passed through Nice before leaving for Reims.
The third French Cup came in 1997, on penalties. Roger Piantoni, Josip Katalinski, Hugo Lloris and Mario Balotelli have also worn the shirt.
From the Ray to the Allianz Riviera
From 1927 to 2013 the club's home was the legendary Stade du Ray, with around 17,000 seats. In 2013 it moved to the Allianz Riviera and celebrated the opening with a 4-0 win over Valenciennes.
Since 2019 the owner has been Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS. The 2025-26 season was a tough one, ending in 16th place, but Nice kept their Ligue 1 status by beating Saint-Étienne 4-1 on aggregate in the play-off.
Celebrate with us
From a gymnastics club in 1904 to the red and black eagles of Ligue 1, Nice carry the history of the Côte d'Azur on their chest. Happy 123rd birthday, Aiglons!
