Atlético Madrid Reveal New Font For 15-16 Kits
Jun 28, 2015, by Pat
Atlético Madrid earlier this week launched the new Nike Atletico Madrid 15-16 Kit, which draws inspiration from the shirt worn in the double-winning 1995-96 season, 20 years ago.
While featuring a solid red back on a rare occasion for an Atletico kit, the new Atletico Madrid 2015-16 Shirt also introduced a new font style for player names and numbers on the back.

This is the new Atletico Madrid 2015-16 Font on the shirts of Godín, Griezmann and Koke.
Based on the widely-used Balloon font, the new Atletico Madrid 15-16 font boasts white letters on solid red ground, compared to the regular blue color. The Atletico Madrid crest is incorporated at the bottom of the numbers on the back of new Atletico Madrid 2015-2016 Kit.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
