Atlético to Bring Back Old Crest for 21-22 Kit
Atletico Madrid fans will be happy to hear that the club are set to bring back the club's iconic old logo in the 21-22 season.
Specifically, one of their jerseys that season, which Nike has already begun to work on, will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the club being named "Club Atlético de Madrid". The other Atlético Madrid 2021-22 kits will not feature the classic crest.
"In this sense, Nike is already working on the designs following the indications of the club," said the club in a statement issued yesterday afternoon.
This also puts to rest the rumors that started to circulate earlier this year about Puma trying to replace Nike as Atletico's official supplier. As the Nike deal runs until 2026, this was always seen as a difficult undertaking.
Atlético Madrid received their current name in 1947. The club was previously linked with the Spanish Air Force and played under the name "Atletico Aviación de Madrid".
The 1947 shield is the one that was used up until December 2016, when the current, more minimal design was unveiled. Many of the club's supporters were not happy with that change and would like to see the old badge return on a more regular basis.
Let's hear your thoughts on Atletico bringing back the old badge in the comments below.

South Africa Debut Silver Adidas Climacool Cooling Jacket At 2026 World Cup
South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.
The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.
FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove 7 Stars From 2026 World Cup Kit And Change Numbers Color
FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.
Brazil Did Not Leave Enough Space for FIFA 2026 World Cup 'Debut' Patch
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has introduced a highly detailed new system of sleeve badges, including a special "DEBUT" patch for players making their very first appearance in the tournament. However, on-pitch visuals of Brazil have revealed a glaring spatial issue: the Brazilian kit men did not leave enough space for it.
As seen on players like Danilo during their opening fixtures, the "DEBUT" patch has to be crammed awkwardly against the bottom stitching - the World Cup badge has been placed too low.
Brazil's kit managers apparently ignored the official application guidelines provided by badge manufacturer Avery Dennison. According to the leaked application manual, kits must have 55mm free under the regular badge for the debut patch - 20mm for the debut badge, plus spacing of 15mm (top) and 20 mm (bottom).
