The Stade Rennais 1996–97 Home Retro Football Jersey recalls a challenging but memorable campaign in the history of the Breton club. Under manager Yves Colleu, Rennes competed in French Division 1 and finished 16th with 40 points, securing its place in the top flight. The team also reached the Coupe de la Ligue quarter-finals and participated in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Despite a difficult league season, Rennes demonstrated resilience and maintained its position among France's leading football clubs.
 
The squad featured Stéphane Guivarc'h, Sylvain Wiltord, Ousmane Dabo, Mikaël Silvestre and Patrice Carteron. Guivarc'h delivered an outstanding individual campaign with 22 league goals, providing the team's principal attacking threat. Wiltord contributed pace and creativity, while Dabo and Silvestre represented an emerging generation of French talent. Their development during this period added historical significance to a season that combined experienced players with promising young footballers.
 
The jersey features a vibrant red base with distinctive curved black-and-white panels across the shoulders and upper chest, creating a bold geometric appearance characteristic of mid-1990s football fashion. A contrasting white V-neck collar with black trim adds a traditional finishing touch, while the club crest reinforces Rennes' identity and connection to Brittany. Its expressive shoulder graphics, striking colour combination and classic short-sleeved silhouette make this heritage home jersey a memorable tribute to Stade Rennais' 1996–97 campaign.
