New Atlético Madrid 16-17 Font Revealed
Jul 30, 2016, by Pat
Atlético Madrid has unveiled a new typeface to be used for player names and numbers on the back of its new home and away kits, both of which were launched earlier this week.
Atlético 2016-17 Font
Compared to last season's comic-esque model, the new Atlético typeface is much more serious and - frankly put - simply better looking.
For home games, it returns to a blue color as the Atlético home jersey now features stripes on the back again. A white outline is added for improved readability, while the Atlético badge is placed at the bottom. On the away shirt, the new typeface will be used in gold with black detailing.

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.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
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.
