Adidas is set to make a major return as the kit supplier for French giants Olympique de Marseille, taking over from Puma.
Adidas and Marseille Ahead of Historic Reunion
Initial reports from RMC Sport indicate that the German brand is slated to step in from the 28-29 season when Puma's current deal expires in June 2028. However, Footy Headlines sources suggest that the switch could happen even earlier, with Adidas potentially taking over as soon as the 27-28 season.
The agreement marks a reunion between Marseille and their iconic partner. Adidas previously manufactured OM's kits for more than four decades between 1974 and 2018, producing memorable designs including the jersey worn during the club's 1993 Champions League triumph.
Puma replaced Adidas in 2018 on a deal worth around €20M–€25M annually. The incoming deal with Adidas is expected to nearly double Marseille's current kit revenue, providing a huge commercial boost for the Ligue 1 outfit.
