Confirmed: Real Madrid and Atletico to Drop Custom Fonts This Weekend
Aug 19, 2017, by Pat
Update: Atletico just confirmed that they will be using the league-wide font on Instagram. They will take on Girona later today.
It looks like some teams aren't all too happy with La Liga's recent introduction of a new, league-wide typeface for player names and numbers. Whereas clubs such as Barcelona and Sevilla have used the new font all throughout pre-season, both Real Madrid and Atletico have almost completely neglected its existence - not wearing it in any games so far and not selling it in their stores either.
However, as Footy Headlines was able to learn, both teams will have to switch to the rather unconvincing league font starting this weekend. Atletico will visit Girona on Saturday evening, with Real Madrid debuting a day later at Depor's Riazor stadium.
To get an idea about how the font is going to look like on Real Madrid's kits, below are some pictures from the FIFA 18 beta, which featured it.
Should La Liga drop the one-for-all font nonsense or at least redesign the current one? Or are you happy with it? Drop us a line below.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
