Weymouth FC Restores Historic Crest as Part of New Visual Identity
Weymouth Football Club has unveiled a restored version of its historic crest, presented with the caption "Restored, not replaced." The update keeps the badge instantly recognizable while refining it for greater clarity, sharpness, and versatility in modern applications. This approach avoids a full redesign in favor of preserving the traditional elements that fans associate with the club.
The restored crest sits at the core of a broader visual identity refresh announced by the club. Additional elements include new wordmarks for flexible communication, a secondary WFC shield logo, and a Jubilee Anchor mark that connects the club to local Weymouth symbols such as the Jubilee Clock and pavilion anchor. The primary crest will feature on upcoming team kits and official materials.
Club statements highlight the work as a way to standardize assets and safeguard the identity long-term. The changes maintain continuity with the badge's long-standing design while improving its overall presentation across digital and physical uses.
Ezeta and Daniel Norris Reveal New Tivoli Calcio Logo
Italian creative sports brand Ezeta has officially presented a brand-new logo for Tivoli Calcio 1919. Designed in collaboration with graphic designer Daniel Norris, the updated crest aligns perfectly with Ezeta's established reputation for blending modern design aesthetics with deep local history, providing the Italian side with a highly bespoke and culturally resonant identity.
The newly unveiled emblem intricately weaves several of the city's most recognizable historical landmarks and symbols into a single, cohesive design. The crest prominently features a traditional eagle, the historic Rocca Pia fortress, a classic three-arched bridge, and the flowing waters of the Aniene River. These carefully chosen elements have long safeguarded the historical identity of Tivoli, and their inclusion ensures the club's badge remains deeply connected to its geographical roots.
According to Ezeta, the updated logo was specifically created to celebrate the city's rich heritage and highlight the pride of the local "Tiburtini" people.

Leaked: Official Look at Nike x Palace England Jacket and Boots
Following the announcement of the highly anticipated England x Nike x Palace World Cup collection, we have the first detailed images, courtesy of sneaker insider @vladieboi.
The image shows a striking full-zip Enfland Palace track jacket paired with matching pants. The tracksuit features a two-tone grey and silver colorway, dominated by a geometric, repeating cross pattern that serves as a subtle, stylized nod to the St. George's Cross. The defining detail, however, sits on the right chest: a bespoke co-branded logo that sees the iconic red Nike Swoosh slicing directly through the famous Palace Tri-Ferg emblem, sitting opposite the traditional England national team crest.
Also visible is a pair of retro-inspired Nike x Palace footwear. Bearing a strong resemblance to classic heritage silhouettes like the Nike Premier, the black shoes feature a nostalgic fold-over tongue adorned with bold red "PALACE" text and a small white Swoosh. The boots come with a cage, making it easy to wear them on the streets.

River Plate Unearth Previously Unknown 1914 Crest
Argentine giants River Plate have officially unveiled a previously undiscovered crest from 1914. The historic emblem was revealed by the club's Museum, Trophies, and History Department as part of their 125th-anniversary celebrations. With the official recognition of this newly found design, the total number of crests used throughout River Plate's extensive history has now risen to 24.
The vintage logo features a circular shape characterized by striking Art Nouveau typography, perfectly reflecting the popular artistic trends of the early 20th century. This unique piece of footballing heritage was discovered on an original membership card belonging to Esteban Fortunati, the club's fourth-ever member and a key figure who served as vice president and treasurer during their formative years. The historic document was recently brought to the River Plate museum by his great-granddaughter, Florencia Gilardón, allowing the club to officially preserve the forgotten emblem.
This discovery offers a rare glimpse into the early visual identity of River Plate, showcasing a completely different aesthetic long before their iconic "CARP" monogram became a globally recognized symbol.

Hertha Berlin Announces Sparda-Bank Berlin as New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor
German 2. Bundesliga side Hertha BSC has officially announced a new front-of-shirt sponsorship agreement. Starting July 1, the logo of Sparda-Bank Berlin will feature prominently across the chest of the club's kits. The cooperative bank is stepping up its involvement with the capital city club, having already served as Hertha's official sleeve sponsor during the previous campaign.
The new primary sponsorship contract is set to run for four seasons, keeping Sparda-Bank Berlin on the front of the shirts until the end of the 2029-2030 season. This long-term agreement marks the official end of the club's relationship with previous main sponsor Checkcars24, whose branding will no longer appear on the club's uniforms. Checkcars24 did not pay Hertha for more than half a year, which led to the end of the deal.
Hertha Managing Director Peter Görlich praised the expanded partnership, highlighting the bank's strong regional roots and the proven success of their existing relationship. According to the club's official press release, the new deal will extend far beyond matchday visibility, with both parties committed to tackling specific social initiatives over the next four years. These upcoming community projects will include promoting financial education, supporting partner clubs in the Brandenburg region, and funding campaigns in the fight against cancer.
