Big Chaos? UEFA Champions League 22-23 Kit Sleeve Badges
Sep 9, 2022, by Chris
The 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League features not less than four different sleeve badge designs.
The current Champions League sleeve badge design was introduced ahead of the 2021-22 season.
2022-23 UEFA Champions League Badges
BVB, Real Madrid, Bayern & Frankfurt.
Like last season, there are four types of sleeve badges in the 2022-2023 Champions League - the standard Starball, Starball Badge of Honor (e.g. Bayern, Liverpool), UCL Titleholder (Real Madrid), and UEL Titleholder (Eintracht Frankfurt).
In addition, every team is wearing the UEFA Foundation logo below the different Champions League sleeve badges.
There is no sleeve badge on the left sleeve. This space is reversed for sleeve sponsors since 2021. Real Madrid have no sleeve sponsor - the left sleeve is plain.
UEFA Starball - Standard
UEFA Starball Badge of Honor - More than five trophies/three consecutive victories
UEFA Champions League Titleholder
UEFA Europa League Titleholder
UEFA also introduced a new sleeve badge for the winners of the UEFA Europa Conference League, which is worn by AS Roma in the 22-23 UEFA Europa League.
Too many different badges? Comment below.
AS Roma Alba-Audace 27-28

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
