All-New Dinamo Bucharest Badge Released
- New Badge: Dinamo Bucharest will have a new badge starting next season.
- Design Details: The new badge is a classic shield shape with a stylized "D," the club name in large font, the founding year, a gold outline, and uses colors other than just red and white.
- Vote Outcome: The winning design was chosen by both fans and club legends and will be on the team's shirts from the 22-23 season.
Romanian Club Dinamo Bucharest will have a new badge from next season onwards following two votes, one for the fans and another for club legends.
New Dinamo Bucharest Crest
Fans were given the choice of five different options with a range of different styles, all of them incorporating a Capital letter D, a dog's head, or both. The winning design has a classic shield shape with the club name in a large font at stylized the letter D symbol. The founding year, 1948, is found at the bottom. The shield has a gold outline and was the only of the five options to feature any colours other than red and white.
The five options included in the vote.
Probably the most simplistic of all the badges in the vote, the winner follows the modern trend of including the team name as a central element, but one difference from the recent trend is that the name of the city is actually smaller than the rest of the name. We have frequently seen the opposite of this with badge redesigns, as clubs seek to emphasise their connection to the city they are from to appeal to a more international audience.
The winning badge topped the poll from both the fan and the legends vote and will appear on Dinamo Bucharest's shirts from the 22-23 season onwards.

Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
