Boca Juniors has revealed the custom typography for player names and numbers on their 26-27 home kit. Designed in collaboration with Adidas, the new font draws direct inspiration from the club's historic 1932 emblem, bringing a classic geometric touch to the modern jersey.

The original 1932 shield featured distinctive angular lettering for the CABJ monogram inside the central yellow band. The new kit font replicates these sharp diagonal cuts and structured proportions across all letters and numbers.

FC Bayern Munich has revealed a special-edition nameset for their 26-27 home kit, created specifically for their pre-season Audi Summer Tour match against Aston Villa in Hong Kong. The one-off design updates the back of the home shirt as part of the German champions' pre-season tour activities across Asia.

The centerpiece of the special lettering is an intricate golden dragon motif incorporated directly into the numbers on the back of the jersey. While the dragon artwork decorates the numbers, the player names and top FC Bayern text retain the standard white colorway. In addition, the kit features a match detail inscription reading Audi Summer Tour 2026 placed centrally on the chest between the adidas logo and the club crest.

This limited-edition Hong Kong font is not receiving a wide global release. Instead, Bayern Munich is offering the special print exclusively through their local pop-up stores and authorized partner locations in Greater China during the tour.

Mohamed Salah has officially completed his move to Turkish side Trabzonspor after leaving Liverpool. Following his arrival, the Egyptian superstar has been assigned the club's number 10 shirt for the 26-27 season. The Turkish club had initially prepared the number 11 jersey, the same squad number Salah wore during his iconic stint at Anfield, but the winger requested number 10 instead to match his shirt number with the Egypt national team.

To accommodate the request, Trabzonspor player Ernest Muçi, who previously held the number 10 jersey, agreed to give up the squad number out of respect for his new teammate. During his arrival flight to Turkey, Salah was seen wearing a presentation kit featuring number 61. The number 61 holds special cultural significance in Trabzon, representing the province's vehicle code and a tradition celebrated by supporters in the 61st minute of matches.

Salah has signed a two-year deal with Trabzonspor, and his official number 10 kit is now available as the club prepares for the upcoming season.

Marcus Rashford is set to wear a new squad number upon his return to Manchester United for the 26-27 season. With Matheus Cunha currently occupying the club's number 10 jersey, the forward has been assigned the vacant number 14 shirt.

This marks the fourth squad number Rashford has worn during his senior career at Old Trafford. After making his first-team debut wearing number 39, he subsequently switched to number 19 before taking over the number 10 shirt, which he wore during his most prolific seasons.

The number 14 jersey carries a recognizable history at Manchester United, having previously been worn by players such as close friend Jesse Lingard, Javier Hernández, and Christian Eriksen.

Atlético Madrid have teamed up with South Korean football culture studio Over the Pitch to reveal a special custom nameset collaboration. Building on their established relationship through the Atleti Creators Club, the new release introduces artistic typography and custom back-of-shirt graphics rooted in traditional Korean heritage.

The standout feature of the design is a striking tiger illustration that cascades down the center number, paired with unique Korean-style lettering for player names. Showcased across both the red-and-white home kit and dark away shirt, the photoshoot features traditional Korean interior settings to complement the artistic theme.

This special-edition printing offers supporters a distinct, collectible alternative to standard competition fonts. It continues the trend of top European clubs partnering with regional creative studios for custom pre-season and lifestyle font releases.

Following the leak of FC Barcelona's 26-27 third kit, kit expert @memorabilia1899 has provided a first look at the custom typeface that will feature on the back of the jersey. The bespoke font design continues Nike's trend of pairing unique typography with its high-profile club kit releases for the season.

The typography features a sharp, geometric design with clean blocky angles for the player numbers, rendered in dark navy blue and bordered by a bright red outline. The player name is printed in arched, bold sans-serif lettering using the same color scheme, perfectly matching the teal body and red trim of the shirt.

This custom typeface will be worn on Barcelona's 26-27 third kit during cup fixtures and selected league games where customized fonts are permitted. The contrasting red outline gives the player names and numbers clear visibility against the light teal graphic backdrop.

As Bruno Guimarães prepares to finalize his move from Newcastle United to Arsenal in a reported £75 million transfer, attention has turned to the squad number he will wear in North London.

The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder is expected to retain his trademark number 39 shirt at the Emirates Stadium ahead of the 26-27 season, with the number currently unassigned following the departure of academy player Harrison Dudziak.

The number 39 holds deep personal significance for Guimarães, as it pays homage to dispatch cab 039 driven by his father, Dick Gomez, in Rio de Janeiro. The earnings from that taxi helped finance his early football gear and bus fares to training, making the number a permanent tribute to his family's sacrifices.

Real Madrid have officially confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026-27 season. Thanks to @jersey_story for the design visuals.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva will continue wearing No. 20 following Fran García's departure. The number is closely associated with the Portuguese midfielder's most successful years at Manchester City.

Aston Villa have revealed a special-edition customisation for their 26-27 home kit, prepared for their upcoming pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on August 7. The special release includes an exclusive chest match patch and unique gold back-of-shirt typography, designed specifically for the Asia tour fixture.

Positioned in the center of the chest, the shield-shaped patch features traditional Asian motifs, including a golden dragon and lion motif alongside five stars and the text "HONG KONG 7 AUG 2026." On the back, the shirts feature gold player numbers and namesets accompanied by Chinese characters positioned above the squad numbers, creating a distinct limited-edition look for the clash in East Asia.

The customisation is available through select retail outlets during Villa's pre-season tour. The match against Bayern Munich in Hong Kong serves as a showcase event during the club's 26-27 pre-season schedule.

FC Bayern München has officially unveiled two special-edition shirt namesets for their 26-27 pre-season Audi Summer Tour across South Korea and Hong Kong. Designed in collaboration with adidas and Hypebeast, the custom flocking designs will be worn on Bayern's 26-27 home and away kits during their friendly matches against Jeju SK and Aston Villa.

Each fixture features a unique font design rooted in local art and traditional culture. For the match on Jeju Island, South Korean artist Dohee Kwon created a design inspired by Gime, a traditional paper craft unique to Jeju that is tied to local rituals, incorporating sun and moon graphics into the numbers. For the friendly in Hong Kong, local artist Kristopher Ho crafted a gold-accented font featuring dragon motifs inspired by ancient Chinese aesthetics.

Both special-edition kit fonts are limited releases tied directly to the tour. The Jeju nameset is available exclusively at official pop-up stores on Jeju Island, while the Hong Kong font is sold solely through FC Bayern pop-up stores and partner retail locations in Greater China.
