Four Paris Saint-Germain Players Wear Kits Without Names - Here Is Why
Aug 13, 2018, by Chris
Paris Saint-Germain started the 2018-2019 Ligue 1 season with a 3-0 victory against SM Caen on Sunday. People who watched the match asked us why some PSG players did not have their names on the back.
New PSG coach Thomas Tuchel surprised fans of the French club with his line-up that included a few players one would not expect. Antoine Bernede, Colin Dagba and Stynley Nsoki started for PSG. They wore number 33, 34 and 35 and did not have their names on the back. The reason for that is that PSG did not assign fixed numbers. They even did not have a number on the starting line-up PSG posted ahead of the match.
In fact, the players who do not have a confirmed squad numbers wore different numbers in PSG's pre-season games. PSG players without an assigned number just use a kit with number 33-40.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
