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.
What do you think of the Nike Norway 2024 kit font? Let us know in the comments below, and feel free to study the official FIFA Kit Regulations.

Following the release of their home shirt on July 1, Polish Ekstraklasa side Górnik Zabrze have officially unveiled their new 26-27 away kit.

Argentina 4-Star Logo Leaked
The 4-star logo that was prepared for Argentina ahead of the 2026 World Cup final has been leaked. As Argentina ultimately lost the match to Spain, this updated crest will never be used.
Notably, the two central stars are intended to be slightly larger than the outer ones, creating a subtle arched visual effect. Every star features the year of the victory - including one for 26.
Had Argentina secured the victory, this new logo would have been immediately used on celebratory merchandise and future kits. Instead, the national team will continue with their current 3-star badge.

The CSKA Sofia 2026-27 away kit features a tailored design with a polo collar and an all-over pattern crafted into the fabric.
What a Disgrace: Adidas Uses AI For 2-Star Kit Images With Noteable Design Errors
Following Spain's victory at the 2026 World Cup, fans have rushed to the official Adidas Spain website to secure the updated two-star national team jersey. However, instead of using actual product photography for this historic release, Adidas.es has utilized an AI-generated image to showcase the new kit, resulting in highly noticeable design mistakes.
The AI-rendered images fail to accurately represent the actual Spain 26-27 kit, with several key details getting completely wrong. The most glaring issues include the iconic Three Stripes on the shoulders, which are rendered much smaller, like the old regular sized 3 stripes. The Adidas logo on the chest appears unusually small, closely resembling the brand's pre-2023 logo style rather than the current version.
For a monumental product celebrating Spain's second World Cup star, the reliance on inaccurate imagery falls well short of the usual standards expected from Adidas.
Adidas Spain 2026 World Cup Winners 2 Star Kit Edition Released

The Spain 2026 Home Winners jersey is the same as the regular kit with two additions. It features the Spanish national team kit with two stars, and the official FIFA World Cup 2026 Champions badge placed prominently on the center of the chest.
Fans can purchase the commemorative jersey for 100 USD/100 Euro. Currently, only the fan versions are available for purchase.
