Atlético to Bring Back Old Crest for 21-22 Kit
Aug 15, 2019, by Pat
Atletico Madrid fans will be happy to hear that the club are set to bring back the club's iconic old logo in the 21-22 season.
Specifically, one of their jerseys that season, which Nike has already begun to work on, will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the club being named "Club Atlético de Madrid". The other Atlético Madrid 2021-22 kits will not feature the classic crest.
"In this sense, Nike is already working on the designs following the indications of the club," said the club in a statement issued yesterday afternoon.
This also puts to rest the rumors that started to circulate earlier this year about Puma trying to replace Nike as Atletico's official supplier. As the Nike deal runs until 2026, this was always seen as a difficult undertaking.
Atlético Madrid received their current name in 1947. The club was previously linked with the Spanish Air Force and played under the name "Atletico Aviación de Madrid".
The 1947 shield is the one that was used up until December 2016, when the current, more minimal design was unveiled. Many of the club's supporters were not happy with that change and would like to see the old badge return on a more regular basis.
Let's hear your thoughts on Atletico bringing back the old badge in the comments below.

Brusque 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Brusque FC and kit manufacturer Junpe have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey for Outubro Rosa (Pink October). Designed to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention and encourage women's health checkups, the release continues the club's tradition of dedicated awareness kits for the month of October.
The shirt combines two tones of pink, featuring an eye-catching chevron graphic across the chest over an intricate sublimated fabric texture. Bold black detailing provides strong contrast on the thick ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, as well as on all sponsor prints and the Junpe manufacturer logo. The club's traditional yellow, green, and red crest sits in full color on the left breast, topped by three stars.
A bespoke circular seal appears on the lower front with the campaign motto "Jogue pela vida! Cuide de você - Um toque pode virar o jogo" (Play for life! Take care of yourself - One touch can turn the game around), drawing a direct parallel between the sport and the importance of self-examination. The limited-edition jersey is sold through the club's official retail space next to the Augusto Bauer stadium.
Stunning Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th Anniversary Kit Released
Kashima Antlers and Nike have officially released a special 35th anniversary kit to celebrate the founding of the iconic J1 League side on October 1, 1991. The release also pays homage to Brazilian football legend Zico, whose spirit and influence remain foundational to the identity and DNA of the Ibaraki-based club.
The Nike Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th anniversary shirt boasts an elegant two-tone dark navy half-and-half design inspired by the night scenery of Kashima Bay. Breaking away from the club's standard colors, the kit applies full gold detailing throughout, highlighted by the club's first-ever matte gold crest featuring a commemorative 1991/2026 engraving. All sponsor marks, the Nike Swoosh, and the sleeve badge are finished in matching metallic gold.
Navy shorts and socks with gold accents round off the sophisticated look. Fans can customize the kit with gold printing in either Nike's current 26-27 squad font or a recreated version of the club's original 1990s founding-era typography, with Zico's legendary number 10 among the selections. Kashima Antlers are scheduled to wear the special uniform on December 19, 2026, against Tokyo Verdy at MUFG Stadium (Japan National Stadium).
