Magazine France Football 1996 Marseille OM Vintage Old Collector
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description This vintage magazine is an issue of the famous weekly sports magazine "France Football", presented here in its November 5, 1996 edition. The cover features an Olympique de Marseille (OM) player in action, wearing the white jersey with turquoise blue stripes and Eurest sponsor, typical of the 90s. The main title "L'OM brûle-t-il ?" (Is OM burning?) is printed in large white and blue letters on a black background, highlighting a turbulent period for the Marseille club.
The front cover visual also shows the France Football logo at the top, with a characteristic red band all around the magazine. A yellow insert at the top right announces the topic "Bleus : finir l’année en beauté" (Blues: end the year on a high note). The bottom of the page indicates the precise date, the price in francs (12 F), as well as the mention of its 51st year of publication.
The magazine is photographed standing on a wooden table, with natural light that highlights the bold colors of the cover. The spine and back are not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown.
The player depicted wears a captain's armband, and the shirt features the TAT and Eurest logos, emblematic elements of OM's equipment at that time. The graphics and layout reflect the sports aesthetic of the 1990s, with large fonts and contrasting colors.
The upper right corner also mentions a focus on Lyon and Lacombe, adding to the editorial richness of this issue. Legal mentions, the ISSN, the date "5 novembre 1996" (November 5, 1996), and the edition number are legible at the bottom of the page.
