What do we look for in a kit here at UK Soccer Shop? What we want is bright simplicity that is eye-catching. Very often, we’ll get a couple of these things. For example, a bright orange kit is beautiful, but can tend to appear cluttered. Or a white kit that just doesn’t do enough to catch our eye. Today, we want to bring you a home kit that seems, on first look, to tick all of the necessary boxes. Furthermore, yesterday we brought you Lyon’s latest third kit. Today we want to bring you another excellent Ligue 1 team. Olympique Marseille. After three games have been played, they’ve taken four points. Not too disastrous, but Rudi Garcia will hope for more from his team.
The kit’s body is white. On top of this purely plain, blank canvas sits the club’s crest, Puma’s golden logo, and Olympique Marseille’s main sponsor. The sleeves are sky-blue, however, they have the faded effect that we’ve seen on both Borussia Dortmund’s away kit, and the third kit of AC Milan. Furthermore, the sleeves remain un-tapered, however, around the neckline is a line of blue which adds character to this excellent kit.
On the nape of the jersey is a blue cross on a white background. This is reflective of the city’s flag and has been a design feature popular with fans. Under the arm, on the white section of the kit top is a physical pattern. This is simply adds depth to the kit, however is not noticeable until up close.
Puma’s cutting-edge, Dry-Cell technology is incorporated into the overall design. Olympique Marseille’s players will be grateful for the cooling material if ever the pressure starts to build.
We at UK Soccer Shop like this kit. It is bright, simple, and eye-catching. Olympique Marseille will hope that this expertly-designed kit will propel them up the league table.
