Partly Ban Incoming? Unique Nike Norway 2024 Kit Font Released
Mar 21, 2024, by Chris
- New Kits & Font: Norway's 2024 national football team kits, featuring a unique font, are now available for purchase.
- Font Inspiration: The kit font is inspired by Runen, a letter from runic alphabets, but uses Latin characters.
- Potential Font Issue: While the font may not be fully banned, the bi-colored numbers on the home kit will likely be altered due to FIFA regulations.
The official home and away kits for Norway's national football team for the year 2024 have been available to buy since today. Along with the kits comes a unique font design. Big thanks to @CheGiaevara and @Niuzekor for the images.
Unique Norway 2024 Kit Font - Inspired by Runen
The Nike Norway 2024 kit font is inspired by Runen, which is a letter in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets native to the Germanic peoples.
The font has a truly extraordinary look, but it is also hard to read. However, it seems very unlikely that FIFA will ban the names and/or numbers on the kits for that reason.
This is because the runic-inspired names and numbers are still Latin characters (which is required by FIFA). Additionally, and possibly even more importantly, FIFA did not ban the Adidas 2018 World Cup kit typeface, which was also challenging to read.

Still, it seems that a partial alteration (or call it "ban") is certain for the home font. The font has numbers split in half in blue and half in white, which is forbidden by FIFA rules. FIFA says that names and numbers must be of one single color. In case you missed it - FIFA also forbid the duo-color City font in the 2023 Club World Cup.
The unique Nike Norway 2024 kit font is not available via the Nike website but only in physical stores in Norway and via the official Norway partner, Unisportstore. The Nike Norway 2024 kit has been a big hit on social media.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
