Although the direct resurgence succeeded, the club was finally dissolved in 2004 and re-established as Limoges CSP Elite . Instead of the original club colors yellow and red, the colors black and white were now used. The team started playing in the following season in the third French division. In 2007 it was renamed Limoges CSP again . In the 2010/11 season Limoges was again represented in the top French division for the first time. In 2011 the club colors were changed again, they have been green and white since then. After another year in Pro B, Limoges has been back in Pro A since 2012, where they won their tenth championship in the 2013/14 season .
