Como Has a New Crest, But It Is Only Half Official
Aug 3, 2026, by Chris
- New Home Kit Features Historic Crest: Como 1907 has unveiled its 26-27 home jersey by Adidas, which for the first time on a home kit, prominently features a refined historic crest inspired by their 1950s-1990s emblem.
- Crest's "Half Official" Status: Despite appearing on the new home kit, the retro crest is only "half official," as the modern wave logo introduced in 2019 remains the club's corporate identity for administrative, digital, and media purposes.
- Design of the Historic Crest: The vintage crest on the match shirt is a reinterpretation of Como's official emblem from the 1950s to the early 1990s, showcasing a classic shield with the city's heraldic white cross on a red background and traditional lettering.
Italian club Como 1907, some days ago, officially unveiled its new 26-27 home jersey by Adidas, featuring a major retro design shift on the chest. For the first time on a home kit, the team has replaced its contemporary wave badge with´their "historic crest".
Como Logo: "Vintage Crest" vs. Corporate Identity
The crest featured on the match shirt is a refined reinterpretation inspired by Como's official emblem used from the 1950s through the early 1990s. It features a classic shield shape housing the city's heraldic white cross on a red background, topped with traditional lettering. The design was initially revived in early 2025 for lifestyle apparel within the club's "Crest Collection" before being promoted to match kits last season (third and special), and now the home.
Como 25-26 Vs 26-27 Home Kits
Designed under the direction of Chief Brand Officer Rhuigi Villaseñor, the 26-27 home shirt comes in a deep blue base adorned with subtle tonal pinstripes. A classic polo collar incorporates red, white, and gold trim, matching details on the sleeve cuffs. Beneath the back collar, the local dialect phrase Semm Cumasch ("We are from Como") is inscribed, connecting the kit directly to the city and its supporters.

However, the return of the retro crest is only "half official." While the vintage shield takes center stage on the match kit, Como 1907 has not executed a permanent club rebrand (yet). The modern wave logo, introduced in 2019, remains the club's official corporate emblem for administrative, digital, and media use.
Interestingly, Como also created a Como TV logo based on the historic logo.
The Como 1907 26-27 home jersey is available through the club's official store for €125, fully equipped with front sponsorship and sleeve badges. Additionally, Adidas retail channels offer a clean, sponsor-free version of the home shirt priced at €100.

Germany to Wear 1990 Away Remake Kit Against Netherlands
Germany will take the pitch in a special throwback look for their 26-27 UEFA Nations League showdown against the Netherlands on September 24, 2026, at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam. The DFB has confirmed that the national team will wear an official remake of their iconic 1990 away kit for the encounter, which will also mark the official debut of new head coach Jürgen Klopp.
The shirt is an authentic reproduction released under Adidas' Bringback collection. It recreates the famous geometric zigzag chevron graphic in alternating shades of green that create a dynamic 3D effect across the torso. Completing the retro aesthetic are a contrasting white overlapping V-neck collar, the classic Trefoil logo, and the vintage Deutscher Fussball-Bund crest. The original design remains etched in football folklore, famously worn during West Germany's 1990 World Cup campaign, including their memorable semi-final penalty shootout triumph against England.
With Nike preparing to take over as Germany's technical supplier starting in 2027, the match serves as a high-profile send-off for Adidas as the brand celebrates the final months of its historic, multi-decade partnership with the German federation. The team will pair the green jersey with classic white shorts and green socks, and replica editions have been made available for supporters.

The front of the shirt features vertical stripes filled with floral graphics honoring the puspa bangsa, Indonesia's national jasmine flower. A classic white polo collar and matching white sleeve cuffs add a clean, retro touch to the design.
The kit is made from a lightweight, breathable jacquard material engineered for performance in tropical climates and is available in both Player Issue and Replica versions.
