Revolutionary? All-New New Breathable Nike Liteflex Kit Logos Launched
Mar 19, 2024, by Chris
- New Logo Material: Nike has launched "Liteflex crest" logos for their 2024 authentic kits, made from a breathable mesh material.
- Breathability Focus: The mesh material is intended to increase breathability while maintaining a lightweight design.
- Design Details: The mesh covers the entire area of the crest, with some elements using silicone for a 3D look, and are used for the 2024-25 season.
Confirming our leak, Nike has introduced new mesh logos for their 2024 authentic kits. They are called "Liteflex crest".
Nike's new innovation follows just one year after the company introduced Nike Grind logos, which seem to be gone for the 2024 kits again.
Liteflex Crests: Nike 2024 Authentic Logos
The new Nike Liteflex crests for their 2024 national team kits have a breathable mesh material. This is to increase breathability while keeping a low-weight.
The Netherlands 2024 home kit celebrates the vibrancy and creativity of Dutch culture. The famous orange of the team is diffused into a new tone for 2024, with an engineered knit construction, contrasting seams and a bright Liteflex crest.
Most interestingly, the mesh covers the entire area of the crest. On top of breathable crest, Nike uses a silicone for specfifc elements of each crest, createing a 3D look.
The mesh material itself is, of course, nothing special, as it is well-known for sporting gear like running shirts. However, as part of the logos, it is a real innovation.
If you are wondering, the new mesh logos are used for authentic kits. They are only recognizable when viewed closely. Even France has the mesh base, but the silicone covers almost the entire logo.
The Swoosh seems to be made from standard 3D silicon, but it might also have a mesh base.
The new Nike mesh logos were launched for the 2024 national team kits and will be used in the 2024-25 season.
If we compare the new breathable Nike crests with the ultra-thin "metallic" Adidas 2024 crests, it becomes obvious that Nike's crests are superior.
Real innovation? What do you think of mesh logos? Let us know in the comments below.
Austria Lustenau Release Special-Edition 26-27 "Vintage" Kit
Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
