WBeltz Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 With Hummel’s UK branch going bankrupt, Bristol City has moved to Irish brand O’Neills with some classy kits to finish off this season and carry off into the next. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2023/02/no-hummel-oneills-bristol-city-23-24-home-kit.html?m=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Manchester City with a limited edition kit for International Women's Day. The green and purple come from badges and rosettes worn by British Suffragettes in the early 1900s. City's women's team will wear them in a match against Spurs on Sunday, and the men's team will wear them for warmups before their match against Newcastle on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the need for more colors but a different typeface feels more likely to be a downgrade.

upperV03 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think the current PL typeface is pretty close to perfect. Felt like a really nice modern evolution of the last typeface when it was unveiled and I still feel that way to this day. That said, there absolutely needs to be more color options. Royal blue and gold would be my top two choices, followed by claret and a regular yellow. Green would even be nice for a team like Norwich when they’re in the Prem. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The new EPL font has been released. It's pretty boring in my opinion, but should be easier to read. Also the EPL lion will be standalone next season, with no circle around it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 That’s not bad! A little boring but boring goes better with a wide range of designs. Better to keep focus on club brands rather than the league. Nice change of pace from some of the garish league fonts like MLS and the usual lower English league choices. 4 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 This seems to suggest no change in the color options, which is disappointing. I understand the need to keep it limited when the replica shirt printing business was distributed around to local shops around the UK, but seems antiquated now in the time of e-commerce and centralized production and every other league being able to allow seemingly infinite colors to match the kit design. 2 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I like the numbers, but I’m not a fan of the badge being just the lion head. If anything I would still prefer the circle but just exaggerate the head a bit more instead of just doing the lion head straight up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I would still prefer the circle but just exaggerate the head a bit more instead of just doing the lion head straight up. I think the idea is to make the champions lion's head stick out more than it currently does. I'd guess it'll still be gold, but half the time no one really notices it in the current format. The previous league badge stood out more when the background was gold instead of white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The typeface isn’t bad at all, I’m mainly just glad they focused on evolving the current one instead of reinventing the wheel. I think I prefer the curvatures of the current typeface, but I don’t mind the changes and can appreciate that they put an emphasis on increasing legibility. I’m definitely a fan of the increased size as well as the tonal pattern in the numbers. I haven’t seen confirmation that the color options will remain limited, but it certainly seems so. Certainly disappointing if true, especially because they could easily add 2-3 more options and it’d make a big difference on quite a bit of kits. I am a big fan of the stand-alone lion being used for the sleeve badges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It was linked above, but I'm posting the YouTube video that Avery Dennison produced on its own for visibility. It's really quite fascinating if you're into typography and design (which, I mean, you probably are if you're a CCSLC member): 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Nike has the AFC Richmond home shirts for sale. At the moment you have to have member access to buy it. In Europe, ProDirectSoccer (prodirectsoccer.com), will have these available, however it's via their app, which is not on Google Play, or Apple iOS, which may or may not have US restrictions. PDS will also have other Nike/AFC Richmond items on sale, but not the away or third shirts, which are expiring Nike teamwear. https://www.nike.com/w?q=afc richmond&vst=afc richmond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I actually like the option on the right hand side over the one they went with. But after seeing how the commentators were able to see it more clearly, I understand why they went with the one on the left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 FC Barcelona's men's team will wear the logo from singer Rosalía's latest album "Motomami" on their shirts in Sunday's El Clásico, while the women's team will also wear it in a match against Real Madrid on March 25.
