Roma to reintroduce ASR crest in 26/27 season
Starting in 2026/27, the old crest used from 1997 to 2013 will return to Roma's jerseys. This is the latest report by news portal Footy Headlines. The reason why the crest will not be used in 2025/26 is related to production. The kits for the upcoming season, made by Adidas, were already in an advanced stage of production when the club announced its decision to return to the previous crest in June. Therefore, it was not possible to modify the kits released for the season that begins in a few weeks. The Giallorossi fans have warmly welcomed the club's decision.

🔢 Jonathan David gets number 30, new Serie A shirt numbers 🅰️
New faces, fresh jerseys, and renewed ambitions: Serie A is ready to welcome the stars of the upcoming championship with their official numbers on their backs. Watch all of Napoli's friendlies LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Let's find out which numbers have been chosen by the newcomers to our league. 🔎 Juve, David takes 30! Joao Mario the 25 Jonathan David has been officially presented with the number 30 jersey: a choice he explained during the press conference "I chose the number 30 because it's my father's birthday". Joao Mário, on the other hand, opted for the 25, which recently belonged to Adrien Rabiot. 🔎 Modric takes 14! Ricci #4 and Estupiñán #2 Luka Modric has chosen the number 14 jersey, inherited from Reijnders, almost confirming the symbolic value of that number, and more. Although the number 10 has accompanied him for a long time, the Croatian had already worn the 14 during his time at Tottenham, between 2008 and 2012. Samuele Ricci opted for the number 4; the Ecuadorian Estupiñán will wear the number 2, inherited from Calabria. 🔎 Inter, Bonny N.13 and Pio Esposito N.94, Sucic and L. Henrique... Bonny, one of Inter's very first deals, has chosen the number 13, the same he wore at Parma. Pio Esposito, on the other hand, will wear the number 94, already used during the Club World Cup in the USA. Luis Henrique has taken the N.11 while Sucic has chosen the N.8. 🔎 Napoli, KDB takes the 11! And the others? Kevin De Bruyne will wear the number 11 jersey at Napoli, despite the initial buzz about the number 10 appearing on training kits. It's the first time for the Belgian with this number; in the past, he wore the 14 at Wolfsburg and the 17 at Manchester City. Lang, jersey number 70, then Beukema with the 31 and Marianucci with the 35. Meanwhile, Lucca has chosen the N.27, whose sum makes the number 9 ("since I couldn't take the 9..." he commented at the conference). Vanja Milinkovic-Savic's number is not yet official, but according to CalcioNapoli24, it should be 32. 🔎 Roma, Wesley takes the 43! And Ferguson the 11 Wesley has officially chosen the number 43 jersey at Roma, the same number he wore at Flamengo. Evan Ferguson, who has become the first Irish player in the history of the Giallorossi club, will wear the 11. For the vice Svilar, Vasquez, the number 32. 🔎 Bologna, Berna the new 10! Immobile the 17 Federico Bernardeschi returns to Italy with Bologna, choosing the number 10 jersey, a symbol of centrality and a new key role, a number he also wore at Fiorentina. Ciro Immobile also makes his comeback in Serie A after his Turkish experience, and will wear his historic jersey, the number 17. Meanwhile, Vitik, replacing Beukema, takes the 41. 🔎 The new arrivals at Como? Rodriguez, Baturina... We don't know if they will be official or not, but during the Como Cup, the new additions of the Larians wore the following numbers: Jesus Rodriguez #17, Jayden Addai #42, Baturina #8, and Kühn #19. 🔎 The numbers of Colombo, Sulemana, and others Kamaldeen Sulemana, a new face at Atalanta, has chosen the number 7 jersey, an important legacy left by Teun Koopmeiners. In Turin, Aboukhlal will also wear the 7, while Ngonge has opted for his classic 26, a number linked to the day he was born. Colombo, presented in grand style by Genoa, confirms his historic 29 here as well, while Ostigard takes the 5. ❓ Those not yet official... Among the numbers yet to be made official, Edin Dzeko might choose the 9 at Fiorentina if Beltran leaves, but the 11 is also available. The 10 is impossible, now on Gudmundsson's shoulders. Camarda, associated with the 73, might continue with that number at Lecce, where it is available; the 9 of Krstovic, a possible departure, might also become available, while in friendlies he wore the 22. As for Folorunsho, following a decent end of the season at Fiorentina, he might aim for the usual #90, already worn in the past. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Jersey sales surge for Arsenal, Newcastle United and AC Milan ahead of Singapore friendlies
SINGAPORE: Jersey sales of Arsenal, Newcastle United and AC Milan in Singapore have jumped by more than 20 per cent as football fever hits town. Local fans told CNA that they are excited to welcome the teams, with many hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite players and even score autographs during their visit. These European clubs are in Singapore this week for two pre-season friendly matches at the National Stadium. SURGE IN SALES Arsenal will take on Italian giant AC Milan on Wednesday (Jul 23), before taking Premier League rivals Newcastle on Sunday. Sports store Weston Corp has been accelerating preparations this week, including for an AC Milan event in Singapore on Tuesday, geared up to welcome both players and fans. It said that pre-season tours such as these often bring a surge in foot traffic and sales. 'Every time there's a pre-season (tour here), we do see an uptick in business,' said Mr Ami Chopra, sales director of football at Weston Corp. 'When those jerseys launch, you do see a slight, significant increase. Come closer to the date, people (feel like because their) team's playing, they need to wear something,' he added. 'So usually (because of) impulse buys, (we) will have quite a big spike in sales.' The store will also run pop-up booths offering exclusive gear on match days, with extra staff on hand to meet the expected rise in demand. BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER For Newcastle fan Terence Ong, buying jerseys is a ritual. He has amassed 85 Magpies shirts in his collection since the 1990s, including the Carabao Cup winners' print this year to celebrate the club's first domestic trophy in more than 70 years. The local fan club NUFC-SG has also produced a special tee to mark Newcastle's visit. 'I think the club is realising now that there is an untapped market in Asia,' said Mr Ong, who is a committee member of the fan club. 'I like to think that it shows a trend that they want to engage the Asian fans a lot more,' he added. 'And for us, getting our fellow official supporters clubs down from the other parts of Asia itself represents more than just strengthening our bonds, it also gives all of us a chance to show Newcastle United the power or the strength of the Asian fan base here.' For him and Singapore's 2,000-strong Toon army, football is also about bringing people together. Plans for food drives and football clinics are in the pipeline to use sports to give back to the community. For Arsenal fan Shaiful Rahman, he is looking to connect with fellow supporters from other Asian countries for the game. 'The main excitement for us is when we organise a fan party for all the regional friends who are coming to Singapore,' said the president of the Official Arsenal Singapore Supporters Club. 'It's kind of like a form of appreciation for them taking the trouble to fly here and getting to know each individual supporters club.' He noted that there is also a deeper purpose behind it all, adding: 'It's the networking, getting to know each other, being Singaporean, supporting one another. I think that is the key to it.'

What's every NHL team's best and worst jersey in franchise history?
In the NHL, jerseys are more than just uniforms; they are symbols of a legacy, history and pride for teams and their fan bases. Throughout the years, teams have revealed jerseys that have stood the test of time. On the other side, there have also been some duds that teams couldn't ditch soon enough. Advertisement This week, The Athletic asked its NHL staff for the best and worst jerseys for every club in franchise history. Writers were asked to be as specific as they wanted in their selections. What do you think your favorite team's best and worst jerseys are? Let us know in the comments below. Long live the eggplant. The Ducks have only brought it back on rare and special occasions since retiring it as their regular jersey in the 2006 rebrand, and the current orange duds with the retro logo combine the Disney and Henry Samueli ownership eras. But the eggplant and jade combination remains a unique one that worked so well. You might think that Wild Wing busting through the ice is a slam-dunk choice. That infamous alternate from 1995-96 has a love-hate element thanks to the return for the NHL's 2021 Reverse Retro series because of its comical weirdness. But the white road threads from 2014-24 weren't clean at all. Too much going on. Way too much. — Eric Stephens The gold jersey and gold socks played quite nicely against the black pants. It's a cartoon. — Fluto Shinzawa The Sabres brought back this classic look for a reason. After trying a different color scheme, a different logo and a different shade of blue, this jersey has proven to be timeless. Then Sabres president Ted Black said of this alternate jersey, 'If it's a turd burger, I'll have to eat it.' And thus the 'turd burger' nickname for these jerseys was born. Yellow as a primary color for a Sabres jersey hasn't been attempted since. — Matthew Fairburn In 2009, Calgary experimented with a red homage to the 1980s. What started as an alternate jersey eventually turned into their home jerseys. Their road whites were worn during the 2019 Heritage Classic, also a slam dunk. Personally, I'm also a big fan of the 'Blasty' jersey, their current alternates. There are way too many stripes and the color scheme is similar to an old candy you'd find in your grandma's purse. Calgary won their outdoor game in these jerseys, though, so who am I to judge? But there are way better jerseys in their arsenal. Honorable mention: the 'Pedestal' jersey of the mid-1990s. — Julian McKenzie Advertisement The Whalers' logo and colors are iconic, and the white jersey really pops with the green pants. While the franchise has been in Raleigh longer than it was in Hartford, it's likely the team will never get out from under the uniform shadow cast by The Whale. The diagonal 'CANES' logo never really hit its mark, and Carolina seems to have a bit of an identity crisis by not using their main logo as the crest on either of their main jerseys. The white jersey looks particularly bad when occasionally paired with the team's black helmet. The entire road uniform is in desperate need of a refresh. — Cory Lavalette The Blackhawks' traditional red jerseys are most people's favorites. That's fair. But for me, the 2019 Winter Classic jersey just popped, especially in that outdoor setting, with the black jersey and white stripes. It was a great look. Nobody on the Blackhawks seemed to want to acknowledge publicly back then how bad the Adidas jerseys were, but what they did to the collars was unforgivable. Players and fans were pleased when the team moved on from them. — Scott Powers The Avalanche have had a lot of good alternate jerseys over the years. As a Colorado native, I love the 2022-23 Reverse Retro with the state flag color scheme, and the 2021 Reverse Retro ode to the Nordiques worn at Lake Tahoe looked great. But nothing compares to the classic look with the Yeti foot on the shoulders from the late '90s. These are bad. I appreciate the attempt to spice up the helmet, but nothing about this design looks good. The thought was there, trying to pay homage to the Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel with the giant triangle, but it ended up looking like the players were wearing giant napkins tucked into their collars as if they were about to eat a seafood boil. — Jesse Granger Advertisement Nothing against Stinger, the Blue Jackets' human-sized bug mascot, but his lime green-ness has no place on an NHL sweater, especially a crisp red, white and blue classic. In 2004, Stinger was removed as a shoulder patch, a good first step. In 2007, the Jackets left behind their original 'CBJ' kit with a lime green stick jutting through the middle. We should start by thanking original GM Doug MacLean, because if it weren't for him — gasp! barf! — the franchise's first sweater would have had a green bug for the primary logo. Appalling. These first-year sweaters hold up well as a retro 'oh my God, they wore that' look, but they couldn't have moved on from them soon enough. — Aaron Portzline This one is a toss-up for me between a few different options, but I'll go with the innovative look they had at the outdoor game five years ago. It was a bit based on the old Dallas Texans of the United States Hockey League and involved beige pants and old-time leather-looking gloves. The Big Star jerseys from their Cup win also rank up there, too. The Stars' short-lived black alternates became the subject of ridicule for the weird star cow logo thing, but the red, yellow, black and green with swooshes combined to make this probably one of the worst jerseys in modern NHL history. Moo. — James Mirtle The Red Wings' main uniforms are iconic, likely why they don't have many alternates (and rather bland ones when they do). But the 2014 Winter Classic jerseys were sublime, incorporating history and legacy with a distinct look that jumps off the sweater. We'll see what Detroit has planned for its centennial season, but these will be hard to top. It's not the most offensive-looking jersey in the world, but it's so boring. It's hard to go wrong with a logo as good as the winged wheel, but this jersey puts that to the test by doing basically nothing else. Frankly, it looks like a practice jersey. — Max Bultman The Oilers never won wearing these jerseys, but they had some epic moments. They reached Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. Curtis Joseph, Todd Marchant and Kelly Buchberger all came up with defining postseason plays. The copper color is more emblematic of oil compared to orange. The oil driller with a hockey stick on the shoulder is a nice touch. The NHL came out with new jerseys ahead of the 2007-08 season. The Oilers were one of the teams that suffered the most. The vertical piping down the front is off-putting. Cutting off the arm bands under the numbers is bizarre. No stripes at the bottom make them look plain. These were awful and fittingly worn during the worst era in franchise history. — Daniel Nugent-Bowman Advertisement It's a tough call because the retro Panthers jersey was a strong option and one I think many would choose here. But the rebrand under new owner Vinnie Viola has modernized the look, and the '90s one feels better as a good third jersey. There's a lot going on here, and that baby blue is pretty wild for a main color. The palm tree might help bring in free agents, though. — James Mirtle It's true that the black-and-white color scheme with the home plate/chevron logo represents their most successful period, but the 'Forum blue' and gold era still rules. Variations were made in the early years, especially in the shoulder yokes, to better incorporate both colors in the home and road sets. Even the white 2022-23 Reverse Retro was sharp. I will not have it this way. No. A thousand times no. (Honorable mention: The 2020 Stadium Series threads. Not good.) — Eric Stephens I'm one of the rare people who loved the old red Christmas jerseys. In fact, there are a number of Wild players who have told me they wish they still wore them. I also loved the green classic sweaters back in the early 2010s with 'Minnesota Wild' in script. But the current whites look so clean and neat and perfect close up and on the ice. I'm tempted to go with the North Stars-inspired Subway-looking third jerseys to rile you up, but the Winter Classic ones were worse thanks to the weird beige elbow pads and pants that looked like diapers from afar in the sub-zero Minnesota temperatures. It didn't help that the Blues' jerseys looked so good and that the Wild played poorly in the game. — Michael Russo This question does not really apply to the Canadiens. There have been a handful of moments in more than 100 years of team history where the sweater has changed, but the look has largely been extremely consistent. There's a reason for that. These sweaters, originally worn in 1912-13, brought the Canadiens such bad luck, they stopped using them earlier than they were supposed to as part of the team's interminable centennial celebrations. — Arpon Basu These beauties, worn in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, had a navy base, the Predators' main logo in the center, a checkerboard pattern along the waist and tiger skulls on the shoulders. They are icy, clean and good enough that the franchise should have adopted them full-time and eliminated gold as a primary color. Just awful. 'SMASHVILLE' in all caps on two lines, with the tri-star logo of the Tennessee state flag in the center. The color scheme of navy on top, gold in the middle and navy on the bottom isn't bad, but the lettering ruins everything. Fashion is cyclical, but some things — such as plaid leisure suits and these jerseys — should never see the light of day again. — Joe Rexrode Advertisement The black sweaters with 'Jersey' on the front are sleek and pop whenever they are on the ice. The font is perfect and the bits of red still pop, which is important given the team's branding. Most of the Devils jerseys look the same, so it's hard to pick one out as dramatically worse than the others. The Stadium Series jersey was fine in 2014, but the green pants don't always do it for me. — Peter Baugh The 1996-98 home jersey is a close second, because it combines the classic Islanders logo with a really unique stripe pattern. The home jersey of the late '70s just brings the best elements together, the orange V-neck adds a classic vibe and the orange bordering on the name/numbers adds more intrigue, without being a distraction. As much as a black-and-white color scheme made sense for the Islanders' Barclays Center era, it's a total miss. The logo is sharp, but there just isn't enough character to make it a primary logo (versus a shoulder patch) — especially on a bland base of a jersey. There are too many black jerseys in this league, and this one was particularly forgettable. — Shayna Goldman The Rangers' white road jerseys are simple, clean and some of the best in the league. There's a reason the look has stuck around so long: no need to change what looks good. It's not terrible, but it doesn't look as good as the Rangers' normal jerseys and it felt a little boring for an alternate. — Peter Baugh A classic Senators jersey that stood the test of time for 15 years before they moved away from it at the start of the 2007-08 campaign. The hallmark of the jersey is the 2D logo, which should never have been taken off their jerseys. Honorable mention to their 2011-17 alternate. You know, the one Rihanna made famous? We just hope both teams are having fun at the Rihanna concert tonight 🥰 🎶 #GoSensGo — Ottawa Senators (@Senators) February 13, 2023 I'm usually a big fan of jerseys with black as their base. But this ain't it. A loud 'SENS' on the front looks tacky and the way the red and black are assembled on the jersey just doesn't look great. It's not a fashionable jersey worth wearing on and off the ice. — Julian McKenzie When the Flyers introduced new sweaters prior to the 2023-24 season, it was noticeable that they looked pretty similar to the sweaters in which they won their only two Stanley Cup championships. The only time the Flyers messed with their classic logo came when they used these monstrosities that didn't last very long. — Kevin Kurz The 1992-97 sweater, made famous by Snoop Dogg in the 1994 music video for 'Gin and Juice,' is an all-time classic. While it wasn't totally original — it looks an awful lot like the Rangers sweater — something about the color scheme just pops. Prime Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr in those uniforms make it even more special for Penguins fans. Drop (that puck) like it's hot. Hi @SnoopDogg! 👋 — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) January 13, 2019 The Penguins went back to their roots after a decade of these hideous uniforms and have been more visually pleasing ever since. Just a drab collection of colors that never looked right. — Josh Yohe Teal. For real. The Sharks were bad in those early years, but man, they managed to look so good while being horrible. Even with some changes over the decades, the color has worked so well that they've never gone away from it. Good call. First off, the Sharks have never had some truly awful designs. Props to them. Even the black-based alternates over the years have been solid. (Black is overdone as a uniform color, but the pops of teal helped break it up.) This combination wasn't terrible. It just wasn't a winner. — Eric Stephens The Kraken's 2024 Winter Classic jersey, which paid tribute to the old Seattle Metropolitans look, is one of the coolest single hockey jerseys any NHL team has worn across the past decade. The Kraken's 2022-23 revere retro sweater paid tribute to the 1940s era Seattle Ironmen, but in contrast with the other clean, simple Seattle looks in the franchise's brief history, it was just a little bit too busy. — Thomas Drance The Blues went back to their roots with the jersey concept they wore in the 2017 Winter Classic against the Chicago Blackhawks. It's a simple, clean look that features the heritage blue color they used from the late 1960s and early '70s. It's so good they've decided to make it their full-time uniform in 2025-26. The Blues had primarily worn two colors in their history — blue and yellow — before introducing red in the 1990s. Players and fans were mortified. In '97, Blues executive Jim Woodcock worked wonders to return the team to blue. Interestingly, with the introduction of retros, the red is back — and some fans even like them. — Jeremy Rutherford Advertisement This look is just iconic for the Lightning — especially in black. The shoulder patch with the bolt over Florida is really clean. The silver shimmer adds the perfect pop. And the blue accents tie it all together perfectly, as a border on the bottom hem, sleeves and collar. The simplified lettering on the back made the jerseys more readable by 2001. The black alternate feels like a tease of the originals, but falls short. It's a little more interesting than the black 'BOLTS' third from 2014, but with more blue accents, this should be a cooler jersey. The logo is too small and the striping pattern is just wrong. There's so much squandered potential. — Shayna Goldman There's just something about these jerseys that I really dig. Clean, crisp and classic with two different versions of the old-school Leafs logo. I especially like the white edition, with the horizontal blue lines. Bring these back! It's mostly about the logo, which screams corporate. There's no soul to this look either. It's bland and boring. — Jonas Siegel We haven't officially seen these uniforms in an NHL game yet, but it was either these or their inaugural jerseys from this past season. The Mammoth name and logo are a huge upgrade compared to the generic branding from this past season. The color scheme of Utah's first jerseys was nice, but these uniforms were generic-looking and lacked a clear logo. The Mammoth branding and logo will be significant upgrades this coming season. — Harman Dayal This is an unpopular opinion in the Vancouver market, especially given Canucks fans' refusal to see the 'Flying skate' logo as the design abomination that it very clearly is. The orca jersey with the 'Vancouver' wordmark on the front, combined with stick-in-rink adornments on the shoulders, is the cleanest and best jersey in franchise history. The 'Flying V' was designed in consultation with snake oil salespeople psychologists to be 'aggressive,' and it is definitely aggressively ugly. Mustard yellow, an unsightly two-colored V-shaped sash on the front, the spaghetti-plate flying skate on the shoulders and another 'Flying V' on the pants. An absolute mess. — Thomas Drance Advertisement Vegas has always been creative with its jerseys, but none have been cooler — or looked better — than their 2022-23 Reverse Retro jerseys with glow-in-the-dark numbers. The color scheme is good. The old-school Las Vegas casino font has such a good vibe, and it glows in the dark! They're easily my favorite sweaters in the team's short history. watch out for me, I'm about to glow 🤩#GlowKnightsGlow | #ReverseRetro — Vegas Golden Knights (@GoldenKnights) November 27, 2022 The Golden Knights have only worn a handful of different jerseys over the last eight years, so there wasn't a lot to choose from. The Winter Classic jerseys from 2024 are the most blah of the bunch, for my money. I understand what they were going for, with a vintage, wild west type of feel, but I'm not a fan of the cream color or the strange 'V' logo. — Jesse Granger The fan base loves the 'Screaming Eagle' jersey, and so does Alex Ovechkin, so it's the pick. Washington's alt jersey history isn't great and its current look (successful as it's been) is a little stale. Fauxback looks can be rough, and this one certainly qualifies. There are some historical nods, which is fine, but … maroon? For the Capitals? Nope. — Sean Gentille This is an easy, obvious answer — except it's also agonizing, because the white version of Winnipeg's heritage jerseys is also an all-time classic. We opt for the blue version here out of love for the depth of the blue, the red accents and fond memories of Bryan Little's overtime-winning goal against Calgary at the 2019 Heritage Classic. Winnipeg was ambitious with this design, choosing a new, bright blue color palette — a bold and relatively unique choice in the scheme of NHL jerseys. There are also subtle design elements, such as an F-18 fighter hidden in the Jets' logo. Still, the 'aviator' failed to capture public imagination, feeling more like a one-off than a new Jets classic. — Murat Ates — Research courtesy of The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database (Illustration: Dan Goldfarb / The Athletic; Andre Ringuette, Dave Sandford / NHLI, Bruce Bennett / Getty Images)
