As spotted by Mundo Deportivo and CFS, they did so wearing a classic Atletico shirts produced by Puma, from 89-90 and 91-92, respectively; the shirts of course also include the 'old' crest that's so beloved amongst the red-and-white supporters. Juanfran also kissed the badge to show his love for the club he represented for the last eight seasons.
Earlier this year there were strong rumors linking Puma to Atlético. The story, which originated from 'OFOBALL', claimed that there had been several talks between Puma and the Spanish giants in order for the brand to take over from Nike in 2020.
It was not all words as OFOBALL were even able to show internal Puma documents that listed several product including home, away and third kits as well as their colors and release months. It was also stated that Puma were interested in returning to the previous badge, a move that would be more than welcome to the fans. However, Atletico were having none of it as per the latest update.
Although Juanfran wearing a Puma shirt, we don't think this was to tease the possible upcoming sponsorship deal and rather just a pure coincidence. Nonetheless, it once again got the Atletico fans talking about switching from Nike and returning to the old badge.
Would you like to see Atletico switch to Puma and / or return to the previous logo? Comment below.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
