The black is deep with no fading, and the sky-blue shoulder stripes are bright. The Intersport and Turkish Airlines sponsors are sharp with no cracking, and the embroidered crest is intact. A very slight worn feel to the fabric explains the half point held back.

Workshop note — This third shirt is recognisable by its graded blue band and the Marseille cross. I check the quality of the crest embroidery and the label date, made a few months before the launch: everything is in order.
Gignac, the striker of the Bielsa season
In summer 2014, Marcelo Bielsa took charge of OM. His vertical, intense football set the Vélodrome alight, and Marseille sat at the top of Ligue 1 for much of the autumn.
21 Ligue 1 goals: André-Pierre Gignac had the best season of his career in France and finished second in the scoring chart.
Summer 2015: OM finished fourth, and Gignac left for Mexico and Tigres, where he would become a legend.
This black third shirt is one of the standout kits of that special season, Gignac's last in the OM shirt.
Yes, the Ligue 1 sleeve patch was applied in the workshop. It is not used as proof of authenticity, which relies on the label, the crest and the construction of the shirt.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the small label under the collar: date 03/14 and code G92118, which you can check yourself. Then check the crest embroidery and the Marseille cross stitched onto the band.
Why 9.5/10 and not 10/10?
The shirt has no visible flaw, but the fabric has a slight worn feel. I keep 10/10 for pieces that look straight out of the box.
How does this M fit?
True to size. 50 cm pit to pit and 75 cm long: if you wear M on the high street, it should fit you.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipped within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, and free from €99.99. You have 14 days to return the shirt if it doesn't suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
