UEFA Champions League 2021 Logo Revealed
Update: UEFA did still not officially launch the updated UEFA Champions League logo. Of curse, it is being used for all 2021-22 UEFA Champions League media and on UEFA's website.
UEFA slightly updated the logo of the UEFA Champions League this year, we can reveal.
Old vs new
The new logo looks identical to the current logo at first glance
The original and now-iconic UEFA Champions League logo has been released in 1992, when the competition was introduced. It has been only slightly updated in the past 30 years, and the new 2021 logo is also only a small visual update.
2021 UEFA Champions League Logo
An update and not at all a revolution, the new 2021 UEFA Champions League Logo looks almost identical to the current logo. There are, however, some clear differences.
First, the ratio of the different elements has been changed. The 'League' part is bigger, the UEFA logo is bolder.
The font of the Champions League text has been also updated. This can be seen when looking closely at the 'R', for example.
The registered trademark symbol, ®, now is in the top right of the E and not below the logo.
The new 2021 branding for the UEFA Champions League uses a bit more purple but is very similar overall. Back in 2018, the UEFA Champions League brand for the 2018-21 circle introduced a vibrant new look with purple and turquoise, based on a concept called 'Highlighting moments that make the ultimate stage'.
We expect the new 2021 UEFA Champions League logo and branding to be used for the circles until 2024 when UEFA will make new important changes to its competitions.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
What are your thoughts on Nike utilizing a shared, streamlined template for its 2026 national team pre-match shirts? Let us know in the comments below.
