Lechia-Polonia Gdańsk was a team which played in the Polish second division from 1998 to 2001. The team was created by a merger of Lechia Gdańsk and Polonia Gdańsk.
History
Pre-merger
Polonia Gdańsk
Polonia Gdańsk were founded in 1945 as NS Nit Gdańsk. After years of playing football in the lower divisions, and further name changes (Stal Gdańsk and RKS Stoczniowiec Gdańsk [1]). The team finally found stability and were called Polonia Gdańsk.[1]
The team finally achieved promotion to the second division in 1973 after winning their division, and finishing as runners up the previous season. The 1970s saw the team's high point in their history. The team enjoyed 9 seasons in the second division before being relegated in 1982. The team's greatest achievement so far came in the 1976/77 season when the team finished 3rd, just missing out on promotion to the top division.[2] From 1982 to 1998 Polonia experienced another 3 seasons in the second tier, each time only lasting in the division for one season. The team won the third tier 3 times during this period, as well as finishing runners up a further 5 times.
Lechia Gdańsk
Lechia-Polonia Gdańsk
The first season for Lechia-Polonia was moderately successful. The previous season Polonia finished in 5th place, for the 1998–99 season Lechia-Polonia managed to achieve 7th in the league.[4] The following season was more unsuccessful, finishing the season in 14th.[5] Robert Kubiel finished as the team's highest goalscorer with 10 goals to his name.[6] The following season got worse for Lechia-Polonia, with the team finishing 19th out of 20 teams.[7] Despite being in a lower division the team proved to be less than competitive, and the team once again faced relegation, this time finishing in 15th.[8] After the 2001–02 season, the Lechia-Polonia dissolved.
After the merger
Polonia Gdańsk created a separate team in 1999, one year after the merger. Despite the team still being involved in the merger by name, most saw this as the teams continuation of the original team, and not the Lechia-Polonia team. The reforming meant that Polonia had to restart from Poland's lowest divisions. The highest the team has achieved since the turn of the century was 2 seasons in the third division, finishing 14th and 16th from 2012 to 2014. Back to back relegation's meant the team were playing in the firth tier once again, and currently find themselves playing in the District Division - Gdańsk Group I.[9]

Kits
The kits worn by Lechia-Polonia during their four seasons of existence.
1998–99
The 1998–99 kits were produced by Uhlsport with Pomorskie Towarzystwo Leasingowe being the sponsor on the shirts.
1999–2000
Lechia-Polonia started the season with the same kits as the previous season, adding a third shirt which bore the sponsor Centertel. After the winter break Lechia dropped what they used as their home kit in favour of using one of the Kelme shirts used by Lechia Gdańsk between 1996 and 1998. The three kits made by three different manufacturers were used on a rotational basis, with the green and white "half and half" kit being used more often as it incorporated the most green and could be used against more opponents.
2000–01
In 2000 Adidas became the manufacturer of the Lechia-Polonia kits, with Centertel being the main club sponsor.
2001–02
In the last year of Lechia-Polonia's existence they played in the same Adidas kits as the season before.
