Olympique de Marseille shirts are defined by a crisp white base accented with blue - a combination that has given the club one of the cleanest visual identities in European football. Across different sponsor eras and manufacturer periods, OM kits have balanced simplicity with bold detailing.
This Marseille collection features original vintage shirts and classic home and away designs that reflect how the club’s white aesthetic has evolved through changing footballing cycles at the Stade Vélodrome.
Some of Marseille’s most recognisable kits emerged during the 1990s, when adidas templates introduced strong sponsor visibility and structured collar detailing. These shirts remain highly desirable among collectors of vintage Marseille kits, particularly those linked to European nights and domestic success.
Earlier designs leaned toward minimal execution of the white-and-blue palette, while later periods under Puma refined the typography and silhouette without abandoning the club’s core aesthetic. Even alternate and away kits retained a visual connection to OM’s established colour balance.
Retro Marseille shirts demonstrate how subtle refinement - rather than radical redesign - has shaped the club’s enduring identity.
Certain OM shirts are remembered as symbols of high-tempo, technically driven sides. Early-1990s templates are often associated with influential European campaigns, while late-1990s and early-2000s designs reflect renewed domestic competitiveness.
Players such as Jean-Pierre Papin, Didier Deschamps, Marcel Desailly, and lately Dimitri Payet have become closely connected to specific shirt constructions and sponsor periods. In many cases, the proportions of the shirt itself - from sleeve trim to crest alignment - immediately signal the era it belongs to.
This selection highlights how Marseille’s white identity has been interpreted across successive generations at the Vélodrome.
The Marseille shirts presented here are genuine vintage releases, retaining the sponsor execution, crest detailing and structural tailoring unique to their period. Variations in collar construction and fabric composition clearly define each era.
Carefully selected for authenticity, these kits reflect OM’s white tradition exactly as it appeared on the pitch.
