BERLIN — Manchester United will sport German software firm TeamViewer's logo on their shirts from next season, drawing a line under a deal carmaker Chevrolet which has sponsored them for the past seven years.
The deal seeks to raise the global profile of TeamViewer , a remote connectivity software company that floated in Frankfurt in 2019 and has since expanded internationally.
LONDON — Already in a league of their own when it comes to sustainability in sport, innovative English soccer club Forest Green Rovers will trial a kit made from coffee bean waste on Saturday.
Rovers, owned by 'green energy' entrepreneur Dale Vince, will road test the prototype in their League Two clash against against Colchester United.
The club in leafy Gloucestershire has used a strip made from bamboo for two years, but the brains at kit partner PlayerLayer believe they have found a better alternative.
On March 9, Inter Milan celebrates the 113-year anniversary of its founding. In an effort to give the club a modern global identity, Inter announced earlier this month that a branding change was on its way, including a new Inter Milan badge.
That final exit from the footballing stage is often an emotional one, even for the most stone-faced of athletes.
John Terry was heavily applauded when he came off in the 26th minute of his final match, in accordance with his jersey number, Francesco Totti gave a tearful goodbye in front of a packed Stadio Olimpico and Iker Casillas gave a somber press conference in room devoid of any teammates or club personnel.
Liga MX returned this past weekend with Club América securing all three points thanks to Sebastián Córdova’s dramatic winner against Atlético San Luis. After an unkind finish to 2020 — including defeats to Chivas in the Apertura quarterfinals and LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals — América is looking to rejuvenate itself through new manager Santiago Solari.
If this year's soccer kits seemed even worse than usual, it's because they were.
Every kit release is accompanied by internet outlash and general dissatisfaction. You can say that Twitter trolls are a factor, but the fact is that the quality of soccer kit designs is steadily declining.
The Manchester United crest is a symbol recognized around the world. Here’s a look at its evolution.
Founded in 1878, the club was originally called “Newton Heath L&YR F.C.” and their colors were yellow and green.
The team was created by the department of railway depots and the players were railroad workers.
In 1902 the club was officially renamed “Manchester United.”
Their new crest was taken from the Manchester coat of arms.
By the 1940’s the logo we know today began to take shape.
The center shield featured a ship and a devil.
With the Laws of the Game going back nearly 160 years, it’s interesting to look at the ways in which things have been codified, historicized and transposed. One particular offshoot has been the use of stars above team crests. What are the stars above football badges? On the one hand, the answer is exceptionally simple, but like I said, we’ve had some interesting developments and deployments over the years.
