Marseille (OM) 2023-2024 Third Shirt - Balerdi No.5 (M) - BNWT

📐 Flat measurements

Lay flat a shirt that fits you well, measure it the same way and compare — vintage sizing often differs from modern fits.

Never worn, never washed. The shirt comes with its original Puma and OM cardboard tags still attached (photos 2, 5 and 7). No flaws whatsoever: the orange camouflage is vivid, the black collar has its factory hold, the gold crest and the Balerdi printing are perfect. Exactly shop condition.

Still unsure? Recent Puma shirts run quite fitted: compare the flat measurements above, or check my vintage football shirt size guide.

📖 "Peuple Volcanique": the shirt named after the Vélodrome

Some shirts speak about the club. This one speaks about the supporters. Puma built this third around a molten-lava pattern in orange and black, and printed "PEUPLE VOLCANIQUE — MARSEILLE" below the collar at the back. A direct tribute to the atmosphere of the Stade Vélodrome: the boldest shirt of the Puma era in Marseille.

📅 2023-2024 season — Marseille reach the Europa League semi-final. They knocked out Villarreal, then Benfica on penalties at the Vélodrome, to reach the last four in Europe. The UEFA patches on this shirt belong to that campaign.

📅 May 2024 — the semi-final against Atalanta. 1-1 at the Vélodrome, then defeat in Italy. Marseille stopped one step from the final, but posted their best European run in years.

📅 2023 — CMA CGM becomes main sponsor. The Marseille-based shipping giant replaced Uber Eats on the shirt: a city sponsor on the city's shirt. This third is among the first to carry it.

👑 Leonardo Balerdi — an Argentine centre-back signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2020, he established himself as the leader of Marseille's defence and became OM captain after this season. His No.5 has become one of the most requested printings at the Vélodrome.
