The Future Of Football Kits? Authentic Nike Euro 2022 Women's Kits Feature Faked Stitched Crests
Jun 14, 2022, by Chris
For the UEFA Euro 2022 Women's jerseys, Nike have come up with a fantastic new crest style that combines the best of the classic and modern world.
Heat-Applied Logos of Nike Euro 2022 Women's Kits Appear to Be Stitched But Are Heat-Applied
The authentic versions of Nike France and Netherlands Euro 2022 Women's kits appear to feature classic stitched crest instead of heat-applied logos. But a closer look reveals that this is not the case.
Nike combine the best of both worlds
The logos and crests on the authentic kits are heat-applied but have effects and materials that make them look like being stitched. For the Netherlands kit, Nike even added "fake" (superficial) seams.
Meanwhile, the logos of the England Euro 2022 Women's kits are totally different. They have a futuristic iridescent style and are, of course, heat-applied (also for the replicas).
England's kits feature the same logos for the authentic and replica versions
All other elements of the authentic Nike Euro 2022 Women's kits are the same as those of the 2021-2022 season. This is because they were originally planned to be released in Spring 2021. The Women's Euro was postponed from 2021 to 2022.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
