This was already announced last season, via a line of thought launched by the management tandem composed of Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia. Ironically, while the new OM logo will be pinned on the players’ chests from the 2026-2027 financial year, neither of the two aforementioned men will still be in charge.
However, the time for the unveiling has arrived. And it is on April 8, in about ten days, that this new crest will be officially highlighted, on the sidelines of the gala dinner of the “Thirteenth Man” program – reports La Provence this Monday – within the framework of Fort Ganteaume overlooking the Old Port.

“ It’s a small revolution in a season that already doesn’t lack one. Eager to dust off the club logo last season, when all the stars were aligned, OM leaders launched a change of visual identity. Which is never an easy task in Marseille, where the acronym OM blends with the city’s coat of arms », Underlines the regional daily.
The motto and the star ultimately retained
Inaugurated in 2004 by President Christophe Bouchet, the current logo will give way to a more modern, more compact and rounded coat of arms. The 12the of the genre and undoubtedly not the most popular, at first glance, if we judge the reactions of supporters to the visuals of the novelty having already leaked on the Web.
Note that the initial project provided for a total overhaul, sacrificing the club’s centuries-old motto – “Straight to the goal” – and even the star symbol of the 1993 European coronation. A design which then recalled the “art deco” logo adopted from 1935 to 1972. A little too minimalist perhaps to appeal to the crowds.
