OM 2012-2013 Third Shirt - Gignac No.9 (L)

Nothing to report. The anthracite is still deep with no faded sheen, and the orange of the stripes, collar and cuffs has not lost any colour. The Intersport sponsor is complete, with no cracking or lifting edges, and the Climacool knit shows no pilling anywhere. The GIGNAC 9 printing is smooth and lies perfectly flat.

Gignac and Élie Baup's OM

André-Pierre Gignac joined Marseille in summer 2010 from Toulouse, where he had finished as Ligue 1 top scorer in 2008-2009. After two mixed seasons, the striker won back his starting place at the tip of the OM attack in 2012-2013.

14 April 2012, Stade de France. OM beat Lyon 1-0 after extra time in the Coupe de la Ligue final, with a goal from Brandão. The trophy opened the door to the Europa League for the following season.

In summer 2012, Élie Baup succeeded Didier Deschamps on the bench. With Valbuena, André Ayew and Gignac up front, Marseille reached the Europa League group stage, where they faced Fenerbahçe and Borussia Mönchengladbach among others, without making it through.

In the league, however, OM put together a solid season and finished second in Ligue 1, earning a direct return to the Champions League. This anthracite and orange third, one of the most striking of the adidas era, belongs to that campaign.
