Ten years after the last update, the new Czech NT logo goes for a design that's similar to the one used by the federation.
"This year we have already introduced the new FACR logos and the Our Football project. At the same time, we announced that by the end of the year, in which we commemorate 120 years of Czech football, we will also unveil a new national team emblem. This is not a revolutionary change, but rather a modernization. However, one thing was clear - the lion had to stay in the emblem, because it is an unmistakable symbol of the Czech national team, with which players and fans identify," said the chairman of the Football Association of the Czech Republic, Petr Fousek.
The creator of the new design, Aleš Mička, who worked with the VMLY & R advertising agency, relied on the current emblem of the national team, but was also inspired by, among other things, the appearance of historical coats of arms from the time of the Přemyslid dynasty. As per the official announcement, the result is a "clearly original appearance of the lion and the entire coat of arms is a modern interpretation that connects history with the present."
It will take a while until the new logo makes its debut on the Czech kit. That will only take place after the next international break in March as Puma's new collections are set to be released later due to the World Cup being held in the December rather than June.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
