Like Lyon, OM also has a third jersey that is mainly used in European competitions, although more as an away jersey than a home jersey. It is also the only jersey that pays homage to that one May evening in Munich some 20 years ago – although only as an inscription on the inside of the collar (something I usually do not comment on).
Unsurprisingly, the jersey features the club’s second color sky blue. However instead of white, the accent color is in silver – possibly a reference to the Champions League trophy. In principle the story here is quickly told: light blue jersey with a V-neck, silver shoulder stripes as well as silver Adidas logo, club crest and sponsor (all placed quite well). However, it is the upper portion of the jersey that catches the eye. I am not quite sure what this (not so) shadow pattern is supposed to represent (I guess somehow a mixture between broken glass and the star ball), but it does not quite fit in with the simplicity of the rest of the jersey.
At least the back is quite simple – probably the way the front should have been. Not sure if the white numbers and names stand out enough, but I guess the dark blue outline helps.
I could have liked this one a lot, if it were not the busy pattern on top. This way, I guess it is my least favorite of the three OM jerseys this season – despite the nice choice of colors.
My rating: 6/10 stars.
