Jul 24, 2019, by Chris
Premier League team Watford FC, who are known as The Hornets, gave designers around the world the chance to design its new badge ahead of the 2020/21 season. We take a look at some of the best designs created by designers worldwide for the new Watford FC crest design competition, which has been already closed.
It is important to note that Watford FC made some 'regulations' for the logo competition, including the colors, symbols as well as other stuff like a simplified version they want to use.
New Watford FC Logo Design Competition - Information About The Club Logo & Design Cobntest
Times are changing for Watford FC. For years the fans have called the team 'The Hornets', but the official badge has included a red hart, a type of deer. Design a new official badge for Watford FC that brings to life the club’s culture and nickname, ‘The Hornets' in a modern way. Your badge can be any shape, but it should be a distinctive shape. Watford FC like that its current badge isn't a traditional circle or shield."
The nickname of the Hornets originates from 1959, when the club changed from playing in blue & white to yellow & black. It was chosen in a supporters’ vote and has stuck with the team ever since. In the 1960s & 70s, the club logo featured a Hornet, however this was changed to a red hart in the late 70s to reflect the county symbol of Hertfordshire, though the nickname remained.
The aim of this competition is to create a new crest that focuses on the clubs nickname 'The Hornets'. This will be the main badge for the club and be used on the football kit and for general branding. This badge should include one of the following: "Watford Football Club", “Watford FC” or “Watford” (in a modern font).

Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 Boots Revealed - Reactive Nike Hydra Upper
Through its partner stores, Nike has officially revealed Erling Haaland's fifth signature edition, the Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 from his Force of Nature collection. Finished in a Baltic Blue colorway with cloud-inspired graphics across the rear, the low-cut boot introduces Nike's Hydra treatment, which uses reactive white ink that vanishes when wet to uncover additional details of the graphic beneath. Engineered for lethal finishing in the 26-27 season, the boot combines a Gripknit upper with a Cyclone 360 soleplate and is scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026. Huge thanks to Pro Direct and Unisportsore for images and the video.
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.
