Footballing Twitter @TheModernGame_ today posted an image of what it claims to be the new font for the Premier League.

Taking inspiration from the league's visual identity and including the redesigned badge, the alleged new Premier League would look rather unusual, evidenced by an example picture featuring Chelsea's Baba Rahman. Thankfully, it is not for next season, and a work in process rather than the finished product.
In fact, as we already revealed back in May, the Premier League's typeface for player names and numbers will remain unchanged in the upcoming season, which was already confirmed by the company producing it, SportingID.
@deeeyepeepeewhy @BenMoxham_ HI Kyle, We can confirm that the number designs will not change for the 16/17 season keeping the current badge.

However, as we've been made aware of, the font DID appear in a talk held by DesignStudio, the studio behind the league's new identity. "And we're busy working a shirt name and number typeface for next season." (12 minutes into the video) So, we might actually get something along the lines of this font from 2017.
Now, imagine for a second the images would actually be showing the real new Premier League font. Would you like it? Drop us a line below.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.

Thai League side BG Pathum United have officially released a special 20th anniversary kit for the 26-27 season. Produced by Nike and launched under the club's "Side by Side" campaign, the commemorative shirt celebrates two decades since the team was originally founded in 2006 as Bangkok Glass FC, reviving the historic green color from the club's early years.
The Nike BGPU 26-27 20th anniversary shirt combines a vibrant green base with contrasting black accents on the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs, flanked by white side panels. It features clean monochrome white applications throughout, including the club crest, the Nike Swoosh, and the front sponsor. Two variations of the jersey are available: the domestic Thai League version featuring Leo branding on the chest, and an AFC Champions League Two version with Singha Corporation and a Thai flag detail on the sleeve.
White shorts and white socks complete the throwback look. The BG Pathum United 26-27 20th anniversary kit is now on sale through the club's official online shop and at the BGPU Mega Store, priced at 999 THB for the standalone jersey. The club has also made a limited "Side by Side" collector's boxset available for 2,000 THB, containing two shirts, two commemorative scarves, and a sticker sheet.
