Things are really blowing up at Olympique Marseille right now. The fans are furious and are venting their anger openly online in particular.
The reason: the club has now unveiled its new crest. The abbreviation āOMā is still part of it, as are the star and the lettering.

Overall, it has been made simpler and rounder. So although not much has actually changed, the fans of the traditional club are really angry.
According to a report by āSport Bildā, numerous critical comments can be seen under the presentation video on social media. One fan is even calling for a petition against the new crest. Another reportedly commented simply: āSo it wasnāt an April Foolās joke after all.ā

Many even see the change as a threat to the clubās identity: āGive us our damn club back!ā
Either way, all the uproar is unlikely to make the nine-time French champions, where former Bundesliga stars Benjamin Pavard and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are currently under contract, reverse the new crest. Since its founding, Olympique Marseille have already had twelve different crests, so the new one is number 13.
