The Phocaean supporters who will be this Friday evening at the Vélodrome for Om-Lorient, meeting of the 4th day of Ligue 1, will be entitled to a little surprise. He will attend the official launch of a great novelty: the new identity of the club's women's section.
As Olympique Lyonnais was able to do it with its Ol Lyonnes team, OM also changes the name of its Arkéma first league team. They will now have to be called “Les Marseillaises”.
“A strong name, inspired by the French revolutionary anthem, which embodies power, freedom and ambition. Much more than a change of identity, it is a real visual, cultural and strategic revolution that takes place today in Marseille ”said the club in a press release.
The Marseillaises will have their own logo
The reflection is as follows: “Marseillaises are no longer just defined as a football team. They become a brand, a movement, a state of mind. This new identity embodies Marseille culture – made of passion, resilience and unity – and opens up to a lifestyle and international dimension. Their launch slogan, “all revolutions begin with a Marseillaise”, announces the color: to federate far beyond football, around universal values of inclusion, progress and freedom. »»
The players will now have their own logo on the jersey, even if they will also keep the usual OM badge. A lifestyle range stamped “Les Marseillaises” will also be launched with Puma.
