Atletico's 24-25 kits will certainly be the first with the new logo
The Atletico Madrid 2023-2024 kits will, of course, keep the "new" logo. Footy Headlines strongly expect the Atletico Madrid 2024-2025 kits to be the first with the "old" new logo.
The consultation, although not structured as a referendum, was seen as a triumph by Atletico Madrid fans who championed the return to the shield used by the club from 1947 until 2016. The club's players, legends, and even coach Diego Simeone actively supported the initiative on social media, expressing their love for the old emblem.
The decision to seek member input on the crest signifies a shift in Atletico Madrid's approach, acknowledging the importance of considering the sentiments and preferences of their social mass. While the club operate as a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva without a formal membership structure, it have recognized the significance of engaging with their supporters in recent years.

FC Barcelona 26-27 Third Kit Font Leaked
Following the leak of FC Barcelona's 26-27 third kit, kit expert @memorabilia1899 has provided a first look at the custom typeface that will feature on the back of the jersey.

The typography features a sharp, geometric design with clean blocky angles for the player numbers, rendered in dark navy blue and bordered by a bright red outline. The player name is printed in arched, bold sans-serif lettering using the same color scheme, perfectly matching the teal body and red trim of the shirt.
This custom typeface will be worn on Barcelona's 26-27 third kit during cup fixtures and selected league games where customized fonts are permitted. The contrasting red outline gives the player names and numbers clear visibility against the light teal graphic backdrop.
