Ho scritto del grande ritorno nel calcio delle fascette per i capelli.
Da Vitinha a Nico Paz, passando per Calafiori, Pio Esposito e Mangas. E ovviamente per tutti i flash degli anni Novanta e Duemila che ci evocano: Maldini, Totti, Vieri, Torres, Crespo e via dicendo.
We traced the history of football’s thin hairbands and the players who made them iconic. Read the full story:

Before the latest San Siro project, Milan and Inter had already imagined several other homes in recent years.
Here are 7 stadium projects that never made it beyond the renders, for grounds where Milano’s clubs have never played.

Quest'anno nelle partite di Liga, quando c'è una sostituzione o viene alzato il recupero, compare un tabellone... a forma di pila Duracell. È l'ultima evoluzione dei substitution board, dopo anni di monopolio dell'orologeria.

Stasera finalmente si dorme sereni.

Inter’s blue shorts against Feyenoord brought back a colour once worn with the home kit.
From 1980/81 to 1982/83, blue shorts and matching socks accompanied the black-and-blue stripes, first with PUMA, then Mec Sport.
Sono stato a Roma per l'Eternal City Tip-Off NCAA tra Vilanova e Notre Dame. In un PalaEUR pieno di americani, venuti in Italia anche per incontrare il Papa, c'era pure Luigi Suigo, "next big thing" del basket italiano.

The stadium is being built by China Road and Bridge Corporation, joining a long list of Chinese-built venues across East Africa.

Un progetto molto molto bello che non conoscevo: i matchday programme del West Ham.
Ne ho raccontato storia, radici tipografiche, copertine illustrate e numeri speciali, e il lavoro di @RobPritchard78 e del suo team:

We HAVE TO start with @WestHam, winners of four of the last six Premier Progs Programme of the Season awards. Their covers, commissioned from emerging illustrators and graphic designers, set the standard.
We dug into its history and creative process: nss-sports.com/en/long-form/…
