Mar 25, 2026, by Chris
- Kit Design: The Olympique de Marseille 2026-2027 third kit will be predominantly purple as a tribute to the lavender fields of the Provence region.
- Inspiration: The purple color of the Puma Olympique Marseille 26-27 third football shirt is directly inspired by the lavender fields of Provence.
- Historical Context: This marks the second time in Marseille's history that they will have a purple kit, with the first instance being a more blueish purple worn in the 2017-18 season with Adidas.
We can exclusively leak the first concrete details regarding the new Olympique de Marseille 2026-2027 third kit. For the upcoming season, Puma is set to deliver a beautiful, highly local tribute to the club's home region.
Puma Marseille 26-27 Third Kit
The Puma OM 26-27 third kit will be predominantly purple.
The Puma Olympique Marseille 26-27 third football shirt takes direct inspiration from the world-famous, picturesque lavender fields of Provence, the historical region where Marseille is located. It features a purple main color.
It is, indeed, the second time in the team's history that Marseille gets a purple kit. They already wore purple, even though a more blueish one, in the 2017-18 season with Adidas.
While the exact graphic design remains a secret, we expect the purple base to be paired with crisp white applications for the Puma logo and the iconic OM crest.
It will be fascinating to see if Puma incorporates a subtle floral or field pattern into the fabric, or if they keep the lavender look clean and modern.

Unique Dual-Year Messi World Cup "Golden Ball" Badge at 2026 World Cup
Lionel Messi is sporting a highly exclusive detail on his Argentina kit at the 2026 World Cup. As highlighted by @jerseystory_vn, Messi's left sleeve features a unique dual-year Golden Ball badge, honoring his achievements as the Player of the Tournament at both the 2014 and 2022 World Cups. Messi is the only player in the tournament to wear a badge commemorating two Golden Ball awards, with Croatia's Luka Modric being the only other player to wear a Golden Ball patch for his 2018 award.
The special golden shield is located on the left sleeve of the Argentina shirt, but it is frequently hidden from view during matches as it sits beneath Messi's captain's armband. The badge adds to an already heavily decorated Argentina 2026 kit for the legendary number 10.
Alongside the dual-year Golden Ball patch, Messi's shirt is adorned with several other gold details. These include the central FIFA World Champions badge from their 2022 triumph, the golden 2026 World Cup sleeve patch, and the Legacy badge, which is awarded to players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments.
