PSV Eindhoven Wears Modified Kit Font In Europa League

PSV Eindhoven's 20-21 jerseys feature a brand-new kit typeface that has a remarkable style made of separated lines. However, the PSV 20-21 kit typeface does violate UEFA's rules about the thickness of lines of kit fonts and had to be changed therefore.

The UEFA PSV 20-21 kit numbers have the same shape but ditch the big free space to align with UEFA's rule of lines not being thicker than 2mm.

UEFA's Equipment regulations 10.08: "Numbers may contain breathing holes or lines up to 2mm wide and they may be divided into up to three parts, provided the divisions do not exceed 2mm".

In the Dutch league, PSV's numbers are allowed.
