Argentine giants River Plate have officially unveiled a previously undiscovered crest from 1914. The historic emblem was revealed by the club's Museum, Trophies, and History Department as part of their 125th-anniversary celebrations. With the official recognition of this newly found design, the total number of crests used throughout River Plate's extensive history has now risen to 24.

The vintage logo features a circular shape characterized by striking Art Nouveau typography, perfectly reflecting the popular artistic trends of the early 20th century. This unique piece of footballing heritage was discovered on an original membership card belonging to Esteban Fortunati, the club's fourth-ever member and a key figure who served as vice president and treasurer during their formative years. The historic document was recently brought to the River Plate museum by his great-granddaughter, Florencia Gilardón, allowing the club to officially preserve the forgotten emblem.

This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the early visual identity of River Plate, showcasing a completely different aesthetic long before their iconic "CARP" monogram became a globally recognized symbol.

How do you think this circular 1914 Art Nouveau crest compares to River Plate's modern badges? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Footy Headlines can now leak 3 real pictures of the new Adidas F50 Messi 2026 World Cup 'El Último Tango' signature boots. It will be released soon.

The 'El Último Tango' boots feature a white base with sky blue accents and gold detailing, drawing inspiration from the Argentina national team and blending classic 2006 aesthetics with modern technology.

A detail on Adidas Authentic kit has drawn attention after being shared by @albxrnxz. The patch labeled "Authentic" reveals additional text when viewed under ultraviolet light. This applies to national team shirts, including those from the Argentina selección, and other recent Adidas kits. The feature serves as an extra verification step beyond standard tags and labels.

The observation highlights how Adidas incorporates advanced elements into its player versions and Authentic products. A heat-applied label combined with UV printing acts as a seal of authenticity, as noted on official product pages for items like the Argentina 2026 jerseys. This helps distinguish genuine merchandise from replicas.

The measure fits into Adidas' updates for the 2026 World Cup collection. Similar hidden UV prints appear in logos and badges across Authentic kits to address counterfeiting concerns. Fans can use a basic UV light to check their jerseys, adding a practical layer for collectors and buyers.

Adidas has posted a tribute to Lionel Messi’s 20-year partnership with the brand, marking the path from his first FIFA World Cup boots in 2006 to his sixth pair ahead of this summer’s tournament. The message frames the upcoming event as Messi’s “último tango,” inviting fans to join the experience with the Argentina national team as the world watches his potential final World Cup appearance.
