Bayern München 23-24 Kits Won't Feature Giant Telekom Logo
Aug 1, 2022, by Chris
From the 2023-2024 season, the Adidas Bayern München football shirts will feature the new Telekom logo. However, the German telecommunications company won't be able to have their logo as big as for Dutch club Utrecht.
UEFA & Bundesliga Have Maximum Sponsor Logo Size of 200 cm²
The Utrecht Telekom sponsor logo is almost 400 cm² - double of what UEFA allow.
The new Telekom logo is already featured on the FC Utrecht 22-23 home and away kits. As spotted by many, it is extremely large. But this would be not possible for Bayern.
As defined in the official UEFA kit regulations, a sponsor logo is not allowed to exceed 200 cm². We tried to measure the size of the Utrecht Telekom logo - it is almost 400 cm².
The Bundesliga has the same rules for the size of sponsor logos as UEFA, interestingly.
In fact, the new Telekom logo is already featured on the player issue Bayern Munich 22-23 training jerseys. It features the same size we expect for the 23-24 kits.
Meanwhile, Hungarian side Ferencvaros's new 22-23 kit also has the new Telekom logo but is much smaller than Utrecht.
Do you think Telekom would like to have the logo as big as in the Eredivisie? Do you prefer the new Telekom logo over the old one? Comment below.

Adidas 26-27 Champions League Stage Ball Used by Arsenal in Friendly
The Adidas Champions League 26-27 League Phase Ball made an early appearance during Arsenal's two most recent pre-season friendlies.
This could very well be the final Champions League League Phase ball produced by Adidas, as Nike is expected to take over as the official match ball supplier for UEFA men's club competitions starting from the 27-28 season.
Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for spotting this detail and creating the graphic.
River Plate 26-27 Away Kit Released
River Plate and Adidas have officially launched the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. The new strip marks the return of the iconic tricolor look, celebrating the Argentine club's rich history and traditional aesthetic.
The Adidas River Plate 26-27 away shirt features classic vertical stripes combining red and white, separated by thin black pinstripes. Adding a distinct heritage touch, the jersey features the retro Adidas Trefoil logo in red on the right chest alongside the current club crest. The collar and cuffs are styled in crisp white, while black side panels complete the design.
White shorts with black stripes and matching socks complete the primary look of the new River Plate 26-27 away kit, while an alternative black shorts option is also available. The strip is already available for purchase through official club and Adidas channels.
Burnley Announce Emergency Front-of-Shirt Sponsor Change for 26-27 Season
Burnley have officially terminated their front-of-shirt partnership with prop trading company Finotive One just weeks after announcing the deal. UK automotive retailer Vertu Motors has stepped up to become the club's new Official Front of Shirt Principal Partner for the 26-27 season, covering the men's, women's, and academy teams.
The unexpected change comes right at the start of the Championship season, requiring an immediate update to all Castore matchday and replica kits. The updated kits now feature the Vertu wordmark alongside its shield icon across the center of the chest on all playing shirts.
To accommodate fans who already bought the 26-27 replica shirts with the previous sponsor printed on them, Burnley is offering free re-branding to overlay the new Vertu logo onto existing jerseys. Supporters also have the option to return their shirts for a full refund or exchange them for the updated version.
Manchester United 26-27 Third Kit Features Nameset Discrepancy
Manchester United and Adidas have released their new 26-27 third kit, featuring an ivory base with deep red accents and dark green trim inspired by the iconic doors of the Salford Lads and Girls Club.
Following the release, kit collector @TheShirtUnion noticed an interesting detail regarding the custom cup font on the back. In promotional photography featuring Lisandro Martínez, the player name is applied in a classic curved arch across the upper back. However, official product listings on the club's online shop depict player names in a straight horizontal arrangement.
Such variations between promotional photoshoot samples and official store graphics are not unusual for bespoke club cup namesets. While the standard online printing option appears to default to the straight layout, supporters may see the curved style applied during cup fixtures or through select retail printing services.
Al Nassr 26-27 Third Kit Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the Al Nassr 26-27 third kit have leaked online, revealing an elegant design crafted by Adidas. The new shirt features a clean off-white base paired with rich gold detailing throughout, giving the Saudi Pro League club a sophisticated look for the upcoming season. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The design is defined by subtle vertical stripes featuring intricate ornamental patterns running down the front and back of the shirt. Metallic gold trim highlights the collar, sleeve cuffs, and the iconic Adidas Three Stripes on the shoulders. The chest displays a monochromatic golden Al Nassr emblem alongside the gold Adidas logo, complemented by matching sponsor branding.
Completing the detailed look, a golden Saudi emblem featuring the palm tree and crossed swords sits on the upper back below the collar. Off-white shorts and socks with matching gold accents complete the full 26-27 third strip.
Atromitos FC 26-27 Home Kit Released
Greek Super League side Atromitos FC and kit manufacturer Capelli Sport have officially revealed the club's new home kit for the 26-27 season.
The Atromitos FC 26-27 home jersey offers a fresh take on the team's traditional white and blue colors. Featuring a white base, the front of the shirt is covered in slanted, diagonal blue graphic lines that form broken vertical stripes. Capelli's signature four-square logo motif appears on the shoulders in blue, alongside the club crest on the left chest and Novibet sponsorship across the middle.
The back of the jersey remains mostly solid white, accented by blue player numbering with a distinct lined font structure and lower-back sponsor branding.
SC Farense 26-27 Away Kit Released
Portuguese club SC Farense and kit supplier Lacatoni have officially launched the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Following the earlier reveal of their diagonal black-and-white home shirt, the new away uniform introduces a distinct green design rooted in the team's identity.
The Lacatoni SC Farense 26-27 away jersey features a rich dark green base accented with subtle white pinstripes running vertically down the front. Crisp black and white striping finishes the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, while the SC Farense crest is positioned on the left chest alongside Lacatoni's logo on the right.
Adding a tailored detail to the back, the shirt includes a large tonal lion graphic embedded into the fabric in reference to the club's Leões de Faro nickname. Main sponsor Barão Rodrigues is printed on the front, accompanied by secondary sponsor logos on the chest, sleeves, and back panel.
