Olympique de Marseille: the official jerseys of OM

The Olympique de Marseille, from 1899 to the victory in Munich

Founded on 31 August 1899 by René Dufaure de Montmirail, OM moved to the Vélodrome Stadium in 1937, the year of its first title as champion of France. The club also collected ten French Cups between 1924 and 1989. But the date that remains in everyone's memory is 26 May 1993: in Munich, a header from Basile Boli gave OM a 1-0 victory against AC Milan, making Marseille the first French club to win the Champions League. This achievement is commemorated by the star above the crest on every club jersey.

The entire championship is gathered on the Ligue 1 page.

Supporter or authentic version: both OM kits

Partnering with the club since 1 July 2018, Puma will hand over to adidas in summer 2027, and each OM kit comes in two versions. The supporter version, cut straight, accompanies the stands and everyday life. The authentic version, worn by players, has a more athletic fit that is closer to the body, a lighter technical weave, and a heat-bonded crest. Long sleeves, appreciated on mistral evenings at the Vélodrome, are available for home, away, and third kits. For purists, the third authentic version exactly replicates the alternative kit worn in matches.

Women's, children's, and goalkeeper kits in OM colours

The women's kit of OM features the players' design in a fitted cut, more tailored to the bust, in home, away, and third styles. The children’s kits allow young supporters to wear the same outfit as their idols, both at training and in the stadium. The goalkeeper kit, in a different colour from that of the field players, appeals to young keepers who want to identify with the last line of Marseille's defence. For pre-match and post-match, the King Archive tracksuit jacket, styled after the brand's archives, and the Power Train trousers complete the outfit.

Highlights for getting an OM kit

In Marseille and elsewhere, Black Friday opens the season for good deals, which can be found in the Club Promotions, ahead of the end-of-year festivities where an OM kit remains a sure gift for a fan. Winter sales arrive during the return phase, then the French Days in spring lead up to the final sprint of the championship. The summer sales and the return of training are the perfect time to search in the Clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the motto Droit au but of OM mean?

It sums up a game philosophy focused on attack and has been on the club's emblem since its early years. It has remained the official motto of OM and is still displayed around the crest.

What size to choose for an authentic OM kit?

The authentic kit fits close to the body: if you have a larger build or seek comfort, take a size up from your usual size. For the supporter version, your usual size is sufficient.

What OM kit for an 8-year-old child?

Choose the corresponding age range, or the next one up if your child is tall for their age and you want them to wear it longer. The children's kit replicates the adult design in an adapted cut.

What is the difference between the third and the away kit of OM?

The away kit is the second official outfit, used when the white blends with the opponent’s colours. The third, the third option, allows for more creative freedom for the supplier and changes style each year.

Can you play football in an OM kit?

Yes, especially with the authentic version, designed for performance with a lightweight fabric that wicks away sweat. The supporter version is also suitable for a five with friends, but it is looser and a bit warmer.
