Coupe de France Introduces New Kit Font for 26-27 Season
The French Football Federation (FFF) has quietly introduced a brand-new official kit font for the Coupe de France throughout the 26-27 campaign. Spotted in action during the tournament's intermediate rounds, the updated typeface replaces the dynamic, slanted lettering and numbering that had become a familiar fixture of the French domestic cup in recent years. Big thanks to @Maillots_FC.
Compared to the previous italicized style seen in the 25-26 edition, the new 26-27 typography adopts an upright, modern blocky sans-serif design. The numerals feature squarer proportions, clean geometric cuts, and subtly rounded corners to enhance on-pitch visibility and readability. As is customary for the competition's identity, the Coupe de France logo remains neatly embedded at the bottom of each digit.
The refreshed typography is applied across the standardized kits supplied directly by the FFF to participating clubs from the fourth round onward. Positioned just below the customary Intermarché sponsor on the upper back, the new font complements the streamlined, simplified kit templates introduced for the 26-27 tournament.
Pattani FC 26-27 Cup Away Kit Released
Thai club Pattani FC and local sportswear brand Maisz have officially released their new cup away kit for the 26-27 season. Set to be used during their knockout tournament travels alongside the previously unveiled cup home strip, the new jersey introduces a vibrant look inspired by Boca Juniors' iconic color scheme with local design twists.
The Maisz Pattani FC 26-27 cup away shirt is predominantly royal blue with a bold yellow horizontal chest band. Echoing the graphic identity established on the club's cup home kit, the edges of the yellow band are finished with intricate zigzag serrated borders. The blue body is adorned with an all-over tonal geometric pattern rooted in regional textile motifs, completed with a dual-colored overlapping V-neck collar and yellow sleeve cuffs.
Sponsoring the chest is AirAsia in blue across the yellow band, while Ummah Pattani branding and the club's green and yellow cannon crest sit just above. The back of the shirt features distinctive pixelated yellow typography for player names and numbers, each numeral embedded with a silhouette of Pattani's historic cannon at the base.
Pekanbaru FC 26-27 Away Kit Released
Indonesian Liga Nusantara side Pekanbaru FC have officially unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 season. Produced by RMB Apparel, the kit was created by local designer SonyAndrio Ranhas, who previously crafted kits for fellow Riau club PSPS Pekanbaru.
The Pekanbaru FC 26-27 away jersey features a clean white base highlighted by dynamic gradient patterns along the shoulders, sleeves, and side panels in shades of blue, green, and yellow. The look is completed with a neat fold-over polo collar detailed with subtle blue and yellow trim. Conceptually, the graphic elements take inspiration from the plumage and wing flaps of the Serindit bird, a native species and proud regional symbol of Riau province, linking directly to the club's local roots and nickname, Laskar Hangtuah.
In a unique move driven by typical lower-league timeline and production constraints, SonyAndrio utilized AI tools to generate the promotional launch imagery with high visual fidelity in place of a traditional studio photoshoot. The new away uniform has already made its competitive debut on the pitch, worn during the club's 5-0 opening league win against Persitara.
Portugal Changes No. 7 Design for Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has officially confirmed that they will debut a brand-new No. 7 typography, incorporating a center strike-through bar.
The subtle alteration serves as a tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo, effectively setting the new era apart from the traditional No. 7 font that became synonymous with the legend's storied 18-year international career.
The new No. 7 design will make its official debut in the UEFA Nations League clash against Denmark, with Carlos Forbs set to be its first bearer.
