Logos

Renowned football designer Emilio Sansolini (@EmilioSansolini) has published a comprehensive visual overview highlighting the evolution of national team crests around the world. Titled 'Then & Now', the graphics showcase dozens of international football federations, comparing their previous badges directly with their current modern redesigns.

The visual collection covers major footballing nations alongside smaller federations across all major continental confederations. High-profile rebrands featured in the comparison include France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States, illustrating the widespread shift toward minimalist aesthetics, modernized heraldry, and sleeker digital styling over the past decade.

While many modern redesigns aim to create cleaner, more scalable digital logos, fan reactions to these visual shifts remain mixed. Minimalist updates for nations like Spain, Mexico, and South Korea have often sparked debate regarding traditional heritage versus modern branding, whereas updates for federations such as Iceland, Costa Rica, and Venezuela have generally received praise for introducing fresh identity concepts.

Following the official transformation of France's third division into the professional Ligue 3 for the 26-27 season, the competition's new official sleeve patch has been revealed. The patch was first pictured on the newly released 26-27 home kit for Le Puy Foot 43, made by Hummel, giving supporters a direct look at the updated league identity.

The new Ligue 3 sleeve patch features a rectangular structure with a dark textured background enclosed by a thin border. The word LIGUE appears at the top in clean white lettering above a large stylized geometric 3 emblem. A vibrant red strip at the bottom showcases title sponsor Betclic in white text, bringing a modern and standardized look to the third tier.

This update marks an important moment for French football as the division transitions to full professional status for the 26-27 campaign. All 18 competing clubs in Ligue 3 Betclic will wear the new sleeve badges throughout the season starting this August.
