The
release of the Nike Paris Saint-Germain 2020-2021 home and away kits gives us a
look at the typeface PSG will use in the 2020-21 season. Paris SG opted for the
font that provides a 3D effect. Confirming the earlier leak as well as the
designs revealed with Olympique Marseille's jersey launch, Ligue 1 today
unveiled the full range of numbering to be used from the 2020-21 season.
Replacing the previous style, established in 2008, the new Ligue 1 font aims to
offer a more modern look while also staying consistent with the overhauled visual
identity of the league. From the start of the 20-21 season, teams in France's
top three divisions (Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and Championnat National) will have the
choice of three different, league-designed fonts. Now we get the first look at
one of the three new Ligue 1 2020-21 typefaces. his picture shows all three
styles that teams can use in the 2020-2021
season. All three font choices are
based on the same numerals’ shapes, which is more modern than the previous
style while also featuring a versatility that is welcome. As for the
modifications made on each one of the designs, they are different border styles
- one on the outside, one on the inside of the shapes and one that provides a
3D effect. Teams are free to choose the style they desire and can even alternate
between the home, away and third kits. On the bottom of the new Ligue 1
2020-2021 typeface is the league's new emblem. The player name lettering will
be the same across all styles of the Ligue 1 20-21 font. The league has
confirmed that the use of a border on names will be optional - unlike before.
Should a team decide to use such a border, it will have to be of a different
color than the letter base shape as well as color different from the shirt.The
league even supplied detailed usage instructions:On players' jerseys, names
must be used at a height of 6 cm. For long names, such as that of Lyonnais
Reine-Adélaïde, it is possible to compress them to respect the width of the
jersey. Similarly for short names, such as Glik, it is possible to increase the
letter spacing for better camera visibility.Numbers should have a height of 20
cm. On players' shorts, the numbers must be 10 cm high.
