Marseille Away Puma Africa Shirt 2023-24

Olympique de Marseille Away Shirt x Africa 2023-24 – Puma, the much-talked-about edition

For the 2023-24 season, OM released an away kit in collaboration with Africa Shirt — a collector's Puma shirt that blends Marseille identity with African continental inspiration, in a unique concept the club had never attempted on this scale. This is not just a simple away shirt: it's a standalone piece, designed as much as a cultural object as a sports one, worn in Ligue 1 and European competitions during an intense season for Olympique de Marseille.

What this shirt represents

Olympique de Marseille kicked off the 2023-24 season with high ambitions under President Pablo Longoria and a revamped squad. The Marseille club plays in Ligue 1 with the aim of staying close to PSG and regaining consistency at the highest European level. It's in this context that Puma unveiled an away collection designed with Africa Shirt, an initiative that proudly asserts the cultural diversity of the Marseille locker room.

The 2023-24 OM squad is built to make noise: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the attack, Iliman Ndiaye arriving with his disconcerting explosiveness, Ismaïla Sarr on the wing, and a steadily improving Leonardo Balerdi in defense. In midfield, Valentin Rongier and Geoffrey Kondogbia hold the fort. On the bench, Marcelino and then Jean-Louis Gasset succeed each other in a chaotic but never boring season, as Marseille knows how to produce.

Moments etched into this shirt

The Africa Shirt collaboration, a strong statement
By launching this edition with Africa Shirt, Puma and OM send a clear message: Marseille, a cosmopolitan city, embraces its African roots with pride. This away shirt immediately becomes a distinct piece in the club's clothing history — a limited edition in spirit, even if it was available for official sale.

A high-tension Europa League season
OM competed in the 2023-24 Europa League and found themselves in a competitive group where every away trip was an adventure. It was in this away shirt that the Marseille players faced European opponents, with the Vélodrome in sight for every return home.

The mid-season coaching change
Marcelino resigned midway through, Gasset took over — and despite the turbulence, OM ended the season on a positive note, qualifying for the 2024-25 Europa League. This away shirt saw through this whole saga, worn by players who managed to stay strong.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic Puma shirt like this one is the version worn by players on the field — reinforced seams, technical breathable fabric, careful finishes. It's not the mass-market version sold in millions of copies in sports supermarkets: it's the real deal, the one that smells of the locker room and the pitch. The difference is felt in the hand from the very first seconds.

With a condition rated 9/10, this shirt is in near-new condition, which is exceptional for a worn piece. The code 778589-01 allows for tracing the authenticity of the product — no ambiguity about what you're receiving. For a shirt from this season with such a specific collaboration, it's a rare opportunity in the OM collector's shirt market.

Vintage sizing guide

Authentic Puma jerseys of this generation generally fit true to European standards, but the cut is tailored — designed for professional footballers' builds, not for a loose fit with Sunday jeans. An S in this range corresponds to a slim, athletic physique. If you're debating between two sizes, take the larger one, especially if you plan to wear it often.

Before confirming your order, grab a tape measure: measure your chest circumference and compare it with the actual shirt dimensions available by contacting our team. It's two minutes that prevent disappointment. A collector's vintage jersey in the wrong size is a real frustration — and we'd prefer you to be 100% satisfied with your piece.

Why have it in your collection

The OM x Africa Shirt 2023-24 is a special edition that won't come back. Collaborations between Ligue 1 clubs and African cultural entities are still rare in European football — Marseille was a pioneer on this one. In ten years, when this type of partnership becomes the norm, you'll have the original in your wardrobe. This is exactly the kind of piece that gains symbolic value over time in a vintage shirt collection.

In 9/10 condition, there really aren't many in this state on the secondary market. Most shirts worn in recent seasons end up damaged, washed thirty times, or lost in the back of a closet. This one has been carefully preserved — it shows. For a collector who wants an atypical and recent but already rare OM piece, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
