Serie A set for standardised font

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported all Serie A kits will have to use the same font from the 2020-21 season, following the Premier League model.

According to various sources over the last few days, including Calcio e Finanza, the plans have been drawn up to ensure the writing on the back of jerseys is standardised throughout the top flight.

There have been some issues lately with fans and media complaining player names and numbers were illegible from a distance.

As things currently stand, it is the kit manufacturers who design and choose the font for Serie A clubs.

The Premier League has used a standard font since 1997, with a system also used in the top flights of France and Portugal.

It was updated in 2007 and 2017, but always simultaneously for all the clubs.
