All-New 2017-18 Premier League Kit Numbers Font Revealed
Mar 21, 2017, by Chris
From the start of next season, Premier League clubs will wear shirts adorned with a new set of names and numbers. The new Premier League font, which was designed in collaboration with Official Partner Sporting iD, features a modern and vibrant design. The design aligns with the Premier League's visual identity and includes the new logo, which has been for the start of the 2016-17 season.
2017-2018 Premier League Jersey Numbers and Lettering
Here is the new Premier League font.
The new Premier League font is available in five colorways: white with black details and black, navy, red, and yellow; all with white details. It is the first change for 10 years to the names and numbers used in the Premier League. The only previous style was the original set, introduced under license for all clubs, for the start of the 1997-98 campaign.
One of the designs that not made it
As part of the process the Premier League surveyed more than 1,500 fans on six proposed designs and enlisted the help of Premier League commentator Peter Drury to test the visibility of the new design during live testing at Watford FC.

"Sporting iD continues to deliver an excellent service supplying names, numbers and sleeve badges for the Premier League," said Premier League Managing Director Richard Masters. "We are excited to see next season’s new style and colours, starting with the unveiling of our clubs' kits at individual launches in the coming months."
Sporting iD Global License Director Robert Thayne said: "Extremely proud of our Premier League association, Sporting iD is excited to be introducing the Premier League’s new look player identification names and numbers for the 2017/18 club kit launches and beyond. The new look is already attracting high volume demand from both club and retail distribution channels where Sporting iD provides access to official licensed Premier League names, numbers and sleeve badges to the ever-growing global fan base."

Bukayo Saka and Yan Diomande Debut Whiteout New Balance Furon V9 Boots
Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
