FC Bayern Reveal Special 26-27 Asian Tour Kit Fonts
FC Bayern München has officially unveiled two special-edition shirt namesets for their 26-27 pre-season Audi Summer Tour across South Korea and Hong Kong. Designed in collaboration with adidas and Hypebeast, the custom flocking designs will be worn on Bayern's 26-27 home and away kits during their friendly matches against Jeju SK and Aston Villa.
Each fixture features a unique font design rooted in local art and traditional culture. For the match on Jeju Island, South Korean artist Dohee Kwon created a design inspired by Gime, a traditional paper craft unique to Jeju that is tied to local rituals, incorporating sun and moon graphics into the numbers. For the friendly in Hong Kong, local artist Kristopher Ho crafted a gold-accented font featuring dragon motifs inspired by ancient Chinese aesthetics.
Both special-edition kit fonts are limited releases tied directly to the tour. The Jeju nameset is available exclusively at official pop-up stores on Jeju Island, while the Hong Kong font is sold solely through FC Bayern pop-up stores and partner retail locations in Greater China.
Trabzonspor 26-27 Kit Features Hidden Glow-in-the-Dark Crest
A fascinating hidden detail on the new Joma Trabzonspor 26-27 black kit has caught football shirt collectors by surprise. After purchasing the official shirt from the club store, Asimingo discovered that the Trabzonspor crest is manufactured with phosphorescent, glow-in-the-dark material.
When charged under light, the badge emits an intense, bright cyan glow when placed in the dark. The effect gradually fades over several hours, functioning via standard photoluminescent pigment rather than electronic elements.
Interestingly, this unique feature was not prominently highlighted during the official marketing rollout of the shirt.
