AC Milan Debut Third Kit With Illegible Font
AC Milan debuted their new dark olive green third kit last night against Bologna with a black font for player names and numbers, making them almost illegible.
Milan Use Illegible Black Font On 22-23 Third Kit
Player names and numbers need to be clearly visible in orders for referees to identify the players from a distance. Usually most leagues have to approve of the font colour to assure this is the case, so it's surprising that Milan were allowed to use a black font on a dark coloured kit. The brighter "Spring Moss" green outline also made the player names in particular even harder to decipher.
When images of the AC Milan 22-23 third kit were first leaked earlier in the summer, questions were raised over whether they would be able to use it following Serie A's ban on predominantly green kits which comes into force this season. The decision was made in order to avoid clashing with digital advertising boards around the pitch which can lead to visibility issues for tv broadcasts.
The Serie A bigwigs allowed it in the end as it was deemed not to create any problems and i Rossoneri beat Bologna 2-0 while wearing it, with Puma-sponsored striker - and therefore designated Milan kit launch frontman - Olivier Giroud putting away the second goal, another acrobatic volley to add to his already impressive collection.
What do you make of the black font on Milan's third kits? Which colour do you think would have looked best on the back of the shirts? Comment below.

All-New Ligue 3 Revealed
The French Football Federation (FFF) has officially announced the launch of the fully professional "Ligue 3" for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, permanently replacing the current third-tier Championnat National. This historic move marks the first time the FFF will directly organize a professional men's league.
As part of this major restructuring of the French football pyramid, the lower divisions will also be renamed for better clarity: the current National 2 will become National 1, and National 3 will shift to National 2. The newly formed 18-team Ligue 3 aims to bring greater financial stability, technological innovation such as a coaches' video challenge system, and increased exposure to the division, with all 309 matches set to be broadcast exclusively on the Ligue 1+ platform.
To mark this monumental transition, the FFF has also introduced a completely new visual identity for the competition. The rebranding is centered around a modern logo that combines the rectangular shape of a football pitch with the tiered structure of a stadium grandstand. This design visually embodies the league's new official slogan, "Terrain de rencontres" (Meeting Ground), aiming to highlight the intersection of professional ambition and popular, locally rooted football.
