LEAKED: Ligue 1 Teams to Have 3 Different Fonts to Choose From Next Season
Jun 9, 2020, by Pat
Up until now, all teams in France's top two divisions used a league-wide font with minimal customization options.
In spite of the current trend, which has seen La Liga and Serie A introducing global fonts recently, this is going to change next season as per our good friend @lasource75006.

From the start of the 2020-21 season, teams in France's top three divisions (Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and Championnat National) will have the choice of three different, league-designed fonts.
Everything indicates that the previous Ligue 1 font design, which has been in use for a very long time, will not be among the options.
Teams have been asked by the league to submit their choice before the start of the campaign - and they will have to use the selected style throughout the season.
Albeit not confirmed, we expect the current model remain in place - unlike in the Premier League, where there are only a handful of color options, teams in France have been free to choose custom colors for the main part and border of the font. It's also been possible for teams to add a subtle pattern inside the font, as seen with PSG recently, for example.
There are no pictures of the new Ligue 1 2020-21 font yet, but we'll update this post as soon as we have more info and details.

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.
