MJWalker45 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I think it's a big improvement. Finally, no more vertically stretched Optima. It's a much more efficient use of the space.NOW, if the teams with stripes would do something about ensuring that the numbers are legible on the backs of their kits.I think FIFA said that after this season all teams must remove stripes from the back of the shirt so that the numbers are legible. Southampton raised a stink about it 2 years back if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yes UEFA has made all teams in European competitions wear single coloured backs to make numbers legible, but domestic leagues still make their own rules.Teams in the EPL apart from Newcastle complied this season, and Newcastle seem to be on the wagon for next year so there might be hope yet.What are Blackburn doing?

totc Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Far be it for me to step on Mr. Cranston's toes, but the email from Arsenal sure indicates that the numbers have been finalized and will be available soon. Keep in mind that it is customary for many clubs to wear their next season's uniform for the last match of the season. That gives you an idea of when these things are finalized.These new numbers look a lot like the Umbro numbers from (I believe) England's 2002 kit. I am going to miss the Premier League font; they have gotten so ubiquitous that some youth leagues in the United States had begun to use them.Thing is, the font in use by MLS, Scotland, and France seems to be spreading (look, for example at the serif on the upper-case U).Yes UEFA has made all teams in European competitions wear single coloured backs to make numbers legible, but domestic leagues still make their own rules.I don't know whether this is a television thing or an officiating thing, but field hockey worldwide has required solid shirts for years. I guess we're not going to see anything like Jorge Campos' jersey ever again.And good riddance to bad rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyvoodoo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I didn't like the idea of them changing the numbers at first, but the more I see these it making it easier to tolerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 The numbers aren't bad, but I don't really like the lettering much. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

gordie_delini Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 i agree with you there, i think the letters are too small in proportion to the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 i agree with you there, i think the letters are too small in proportion to the numbersTrue, but they still gotta get names likes "Hasselbaink," "Shevchenko," "Wright-Phillips" and "Bouhlarouz" on there.Here's hoping Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink doesn't transfer over from Celtic.

SDX Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 REally liking it. Does anyone have the new font to download yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You won't be able to get the font - it's proprietary, which means it was created exclusively for the FAPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
