New Premier League font!

I photoshopped this Arsenal shirt:

I think the new typeface is a huge improvement. The old one was a stretched version of the Optima font and has never been easy to read.

The new typeface choice is elegant and traditional, but doesn't look outdated.

How long til this shows up on the blogs?

A) looks great--really--damn.

B) how long till it's on the blogs? someone probably found a pirated version of your mock-kit before you posted here--on streaming video and downloadable torrent late last friday...

Doug, do you know what the new font is?

[gothamite]

It is, most likely, a custom font. Maybe someone with the requisite skill will recreate it, but it is not a font that you can go out and buy now.

I love it. It's a huge upgrade on the font the EPL uses now. Can't wait to put that on a home shirt.

Yeah, the old one wasn't exactly Optima either, but it was pretty darn close. I'm curious to see these new kits.

I know some people said the replacement kits they were sent by Nike had some of the features of the 07-08 kits. I'm curious if some of those kits have the new font.

I tracked down the Sporting iD web site, but it appears to be dead... I was going to look at the font closer to see some of its characteristics.

R&W, where'd you find that image?

I found it on the Equipment section of SoccerPulse.

The people on SoccerPulse get hold of some cool stuff, way before it's official. I saw the new fall Nike catalog back in February.

I'm not sure what that new EPL font is, either - could be a proprietary design for the FA. I'll try and find out.
