Basketball news: Lyons BF new playing kit takes center stage With Lyons BF and Reims dominating LF2, the basketball news columns concentrated on the fact that Lyon has changed their playing kit once again. They presented the tunics to the press earlier during the week and wore them for the first time in an official game against Pleyber-Christ.
