PES 2022 to be Called "eFootball 2022" + New Logo Leaked?
Jul 21, 2021, by Pat
Update: With the official reveal set to take place later today, Konami have started renaming their PES socials to eFootball, giving credibility to the previous rumors.

For a while now, Pro Evolution Soccer has been known as "eFootball PES". This could change next year as various trademark applications reveal that Konami have applied the name "E FOOTBALL" as a well as new logo for the series.
The name was changed when it made the jump from Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 to eFootball PES 2020, in late 2019. The 2021 edition was the worst in terms of having a convoluted name, officially being called "eFootball PES 2021 Season Update".
Now, the likes of Renan Galvani and Elrussiwe have spotted new trademark applications in Argentina and Brazil that hint at the name going full "e Football", including a new logo. You can check out the application from Argentina, from October last year already, here.
The two applications show different variants of the same logo, with the one from Brazil being aligned in one row, while the one from Argentina shows the logo above the wordmark.
Konami have been very quiet about PES 2022 since announcing the switch to Unreal Engine and releasing a short teaser last year, and have recently also revealed that they would be absent from E3 this year. But with just a few months to go until the expected release of the game, we expect more news about PES 2022 over the coming month or two.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you prefer the eFootball name vs PES? Drop us a line below.
FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.
Sam Kerr Debuts Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Signature Boots
Sam Kerr has officially given her new Nike Mercurial signature boots their on-pitch debut, stepping out for Gotham FC in the vibrant design. Following Nike's official launch of the pair on September 21, 2026, the Australian forward wasted no time lacing them up for competitive action. Kerr took to the pitch wearing her preferred low-cut iteration of the silhouette, continuing her longstanding preference for low collars over the high dynamic fit collar.
This boot follows Kerr's debut signature Mercurial from 2025, which took inspiration from the coastal beaches of her hometown Perth.
Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
