Sep 5, 2018, by Chris
Miami's new MLS expansion team this morning unveiled its club name, crest and colors, bringing a splash of global and Latin American flair to the Major League Soccer.
Miami was officially granted an expansion team in January and it is presently scheduled to take the field in 2020. Club leaders have proposed a 25,000-seat stadium paired with restaurant and retail space, office buildings, hotels, athletic fields and a public park on a site near Miami International Airport, dubbed "Miami Freedom Park."

The team's name, Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, celebrates Miami as "a truly global location that welcomes and embraces all cultures and communities," and is a nod to "Miami’s international, diverse, inclusive, creative and ambitious spirit," according to a club statement.
"This is such a proud day for myself and for the entire team. It’s an honor to announce the new name and crest to our fans," said David Beckham, Miami MLS Owner and President of Football Operations. "We are taking another important step in establishing our club and today marks an important moment in the history of Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami."
The club also released its official website, intermiamicf.com, social-media handle: @intermiamicf (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and motto: "Libertas, Unitas, Fortuna." The motto pays tribute to the concepts of freedom, unity, solidarity, inclusiveness, opportunity and good fortune for all.
"Our city and our fans draw their strength from the dreams of a global population that calls Miami home," said Miami MLS Managing Owner Jorge Mas. "It is only fitting that our name pays tribute to the inclusiveness that makes us who we are."
Fellow Miami MLS Owner and Chairman Marcelo Claure added: "We are extremely excited to offer the team’s identity to Miami and the world. This team will thrive on the principles of solidarity, passion, innovation, tenacity and inclusivity and embodies all of them in every aspect of our daily work – on and off the field."

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
