According to sportsfonts.com, there are several bad things about the typeface - it would not really suit a football (soccer) club as it would be a US sport style, it would be not elegant ans classy enough for 'Los Galacticos' and also not unique in the world of football. Other problems, according to sportsfonts.com, are wrong proportions of several letters and numbers.

The author of sportsfonts.com, German font engineer Christoph Koeberlin, also suggested a fixed version of the Adidas Real Madrid 19-20 kit typeface.

The Real Madrid 2019-2020 font will be used for all of the club's 2019-20 jerseys, just in different colors. In La Liga, Real Madrid will use a streamlined font, just as all other 19 teams.
