Tribute to Pele: Santos to Add Crown to Club Crest
Santos will update their club crest by adding a crown to the top of it in a tribute to their legendary ex-player, Pele.
Santos to Update Crest
A small update will be made to Santos' crest in 2023, when a crown will be placed above it. The change will be permanent and is an homage to their one club man and greatest ever player, Pele.
Santos' crest featuring the crown on their 2019 shirts.
In 2019 Santos added a crown above their badge temporarily to celebrate Pele's 79th birthday, but it was removed at the end of the season. This time, the change has been written into the club Articles of Incorporation, meaning the crown will be an official element of the club badge, so it can also be applied to older versions in the event that a retro crest is used on their shirts in the future.
Judging by the amount of photos online of the man himself wearing various crowns, Pele will surely be pleased to be honoured with such a gesture.

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.
