This \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas Marseille 2016-17 away kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is exactly that—a piece of fabric that embodies a changing era, an emergence from chaos, and the regained hope of an entire city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eKit Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016-2017\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olympique de Marseille\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Away\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this kit represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe 2016-17 season was a real turning point for \u003cstrong\u003eOlympique de Marseille\u003c\/strong\u003e. Margarita Louis-Dreyfus had left an exhausted club, without clear ambition, adrift financially. Then Frank McCourt bought OM in autumn 2016, and everyone regained hope. The rallying cry became \"McCourt, McCourt, McCourt\" — the Vélodrome rediscovered a faith that previous seasons had severely eroded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the pitch, \u003cstrong\u003eRudi Garcia\u003c\/strong\u003e took the reins mid-season, in October 2016, succeeding Franck Passi. The squad at the time included players like \u003cstrong\u003eDimitri Payet\u003c\/strong\u003e — not yet, he arrived in January 2017 — and \u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Thauvin\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was starting to show his best form after a difficult English interlude at Newcastle. Bafétimbi Gomis led the attack, Lassana Diarra held the midfield. It was a team in reconstruction, and this \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas away kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is a direct witness to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMemorable moments with this kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimitri Payet's return in January 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOM pulled off the winter transfer coup by snatching \u003cstrong\u003eDimitri Payet\u003c\/strong\u003e from West Ham — a Réunion native returning to the place where he grew up football-wise. The Vélodrome erupted, and the entire McCourt project suddenly took on a concrete and electrifying dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThauvin regains his form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter a nightmarish season in the Premier League, \u003cstrong\u003eFlorian Thauvin\u003c\/strong\u003e returned to Marseille and began to dispel doubts. In 2016-17, he laid the foundations for what would make him one of the best wingers in Ligue 1 in the following years — dazzling, technical, decisive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarcia's arrival and the change of direction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen \u003cstrong\u003eRudi Garcia\u003c\/strong\u003e took over as coach, OM was struggling in mid-table. He stabilized the team, restored order, and prepared the ground for the 2017-18 season, which would see them qualify for the Champions League — the real takeoff of the McCourt project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic vs. Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is not the same as a low-end replica bought by tourists from the official store. An authentic kit is the version worn or directly from the locker rooms — tailored fit, technical fabrics, and vintage Adidas finishes that have real character. When you hold it in your hands, you immediately feel the difference in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one is in \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it's a kit that has been worn but isn't damaged. Not a plastic-wrapped kit that's been in a display case for ten years — a real piece of history that has lived a life, and wears it with class. For a \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's Marseille kit\u003c\/strong\u003e from this pivotal period, this is exactly the condition you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage Size Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eLet's be clear: \u003cstrong\u003evintage Adidas sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e from the 2010s do not correspond to current standards. A 2016 XS can easily fit a modern S depending on your body shape. The cuts were more fitted, less oversized — at the time, football kits were designed to hug the body, it was the fashion of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore validating your order, get out a tape measure. Measure your chest circumference and compare it with our actual product measurements. A difference of two centimeters can change the entire wearing experience. It's better to spend two minutes checking than to make an unnecessary return on a \u003cstrong\u003eunique vintage kit\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhy you need this in your collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe 2016-17 season is a pivotal one in the recent history of \u003cstrong\u003eOlympique de Marseille\u003c\/strong\u003e — that of the McCourt takeover, Garcia's arrival, Payet's return, and Thauvin's resurgence. It's not insignificant. In twenty years, when fans talk about the beginning of the new Marseille era, this season will be the one that kicked everything off. And \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas 2016-17 away kits\u003c\/strong\u003e in XS size, there aren't many in this condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIn 8\/10 condition, this kit is clearly above the average of what you find on the \u003cstrong\u003evintage football kit\u003c\/strong\u003e market. There aren't many in this condition, clean, without major flaws, and with that intact vintage look.
