The Lions Challenge Cup campaign suffered a blow on Saturday when they lost 17-7 to Stade Francais in Paris.A horror second half by the Lions saw the home side overturn a 7-0 half-time deficit to secure a win.During the encounter, the Lions sported a blue and yellow kit instead of their traditional red and white.Following the match the Lions' social media channels explained why that was the case, saying that the team played in their practice kits because their playing kit had been misplaced, and their second kit would have clashed with that of the home team."Due to our white Emirates Lions playing kit being misplaced in transit with the airline, our only option was to run out in our blue warm-up kit as our black kit would have unfortunately clashed with that of Stade Francais," the Lions' Twitter account posted.Due to our white Emirates Lions playing kit being misplaced in transit with the airline, our only option was to run out in our blue warm-up kit as our black kit would have unfortunately clashed with that of Stade Francais.#LionsPride??
