Lyon’s New ‘Glow In The Dark’ Kit

This is the new Olympique Lyonnais 13/14 Third "Glow in the dark" football shirt. The luminescent design is apparently an homage to the city of Lyon itself, known to many as “The Capital of Lights” thanks to its famous annual Light Festival (or “La Fête des Lumières” if you’d prefer).

The club logo and the Adidas logo appear in white, as does the trim on the sleeves. But at night, all these white elements appear luminescent.

Messi’s New Boots Designed By Himself

Not only is Lionel Messi the greatest player in the world right now, it seem he also has skills in graphic design, according to Adidas he was the brains behind his new AdiZero F50 boots. Over to the design team to explain how he dreamt them up.

The design is intended to reflect Messi’s footballing philosophy. The boot colour scheme is a mix of red and white – red being Messi’s favourite colour and picked to represent the danger he poses on the pitch as well as his burning desire for the game.

The clean white frame of the boot symbolises lightness, with speed-inspired graphics demonstrating his pace.

A single red stud on the sole plate in amongst 10 white studs represents Messi alongside his teammates and how he sees himself as being only as strong as the team around him.

And if that doesn’t clear things up here’s a long winded video…
