📸 Marseille unveil seven shirts to mark the Africa Cup of Nations | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille stands as a fierce supporter of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Proud to have seen several former African football legends, notably Didier Drogba and Abedi Pelé, the club from Marseille is launching a collection of jerseys to immortalize its connection with the continent.

Through these seven jerseys with abstract patterns, Puma honors Algeria, Cameroon, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Senegal, and DR Congo. Once combined, these seven designs form the "OM" logo.

In its statement, OM elaborates: "A first in football history: jerseys with a dual identity, half club, half national team. They unite the teams dearest to the heart of Marseille's African diaspora and celebrate the Africa Cup from Europe."

"Connected by a staple-inspired pattern, they embody the link between Marseille and the African continent. Together, the 7 jerseys reveal the OM logo, a symbol of unity and multiculturalism."
