In a heartfelt celebration of African culture, PUMA and Olympique de Marseille have debuted their latest 'OM AFRICA' collection. The essence of this collection intimately intertwines the rich cultural value of Africa with the fierce spirit and burning passion of the club, its fan base, and the sport itself. Turning back the pages to early 2021, the duo released the spotlight-stealing ‘OM Africa' mini capsule, sporting three striking Africa-inspired lifestyle jerseys.
This tribute was not deemed sufficient, leading to the extension of the collection later in the year with the introduction of a tracksuit. Now, they present a much-anticipated follow-up, solidifying the palpable bond between the continent and the club. The 'OM AFRICA' collection springs back to life, showcasing three jerseys adorned with a glorious spread of red-yellow-green colors—a nod to many African flags, while the vivacity is mellowed with the traditional sky blue of Olympique de Marseille.
The collection does not stop at jerseys. It includes a must-have bucket hat and an array of accessories that complete this stunning tribute. A unique twist on the club’s 23/24 home jersey is also now available, with the OM Africa crest placed proudly in the center of the chest.
Shining a light on their social media platforms, the club has released two videos that encapsulate the unshakeable links between Africa and Marseille. African-born fans have gathered together, sharing their unique narratives and thus honoring the meaningful cultural influences that seamlessly weave through this collection. This unveils the deep bond between the French club and Africa—a resonance that stirs the souls of the Marseillais, from the club's players to its fervent fans.
This extraordinary spirit of brotherhood is precisely why both the club and PUMA craved to honor this connection. A poignant series of portraits were taken, featuring the club's African players, as a heartfelt nod to their roots.
