Gamba Osaka 2023 Home Kit
This is the new Hummel Gamba Osaka home jersey for 2023.
Showcasing the crest in a central position, the Hummel Gamba Osaka 2023 home shirt features the club's traditional blue and black stripes, 4 blue and 3 black on the front and back. The blue stripes each contain six thin black lines, which fade into blue near the main sponsor.
The blue stripes themselves have a gradient towards black near the bottom of the kit. Most sponsor logos appear in white, while Hummel's chevrons, as well piping on the collar and sleeves cuffs comes in blue.
Black shorts and socks complete the new Hummel Gamba 2023 home strip.
Umbro previously outfitted Gamba for nearly 20 years, starting back in 2003, releasing home kits with two-year lifecycles until 2012.
Gamba Osaka 2023 Away Kit
This is the new Hummel Gamba Osaka away shirt for 2023.
Predominantly white, the Hummel Gamba Osaka 2023 away shirt is based on the same template as the home kit. Instead of the stripes, a different, more jagged-looking graphic is applied in light grey to the front and back.
Unfortunately the various sponsors appear in different colors, while Hummel's branding and other details are held in black.
White shorts and socks round off the new Hummel Gamba 2023 away uniform.

National Team Crest Evolutions
Renowned football designer Emilio Sansolini (@EmilioSansolini) has published a comprehensive visual overview highlighting the evolution of national team crests around the world. Titled 'Then & Now', the graphics showcase dozens of international football federations, comparing their previous badges directly with their current modern redesigns.
The visual collection covers major footballing nations alongside smaller federations across all major continental confederations. High-profile rebrands featured in the comparison include France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States, illustrating the widespread shift toward minimalist aesthetics, modernized heraldry, and sleeker digital styling over the past decade.
While many modern redesigns aim to create cleaner, more scalable digital logos, fan reactions to these visual shifts remain mixed. Minimalist updates for nations like Spain, Mexico, and South Korea have often sparked debate regarding traditional heritage versus modern branding, whereas updates for federations such as Iceland, Costa Rica, and Venezuela have generally received praise for introducing fresh identity concepts.
