Belgian football club Koninklijke Voetbalclub Oostende, also called KV Oostende or KVO, released an all-new logo. Together with it, the club revealed a special shirt, called anniversary jersey.
In 1981, two football clubs in the city of Ostend decided to merge, A.S. Oostende and V.G. Oostende, into K.V. Oostende.
What makes this jersey and crest redesign special is that it was made by their supplier Kipsta, the soccer brand of large French sporting goods retailer Decathlon.
"There were some good ideas among them, but the designs were mainly based on old crests and logos. The history of the club is important, but with our new logo, we really want to enter a new era. It had to be clean, innovative and modern," said Executive President Gauthier Ganaye. A situation that Kipsta is addressing as the official technical partner of the club.
Decathlon also has a particularly extensive and high-quality graphics department
"You might expect a graphic marketing company to design this, but at Decathlon we also have a particularly extensive and high-quality graphics department," says Vincenzo Verhoeven, who is responsible for the collaboration with the soccer clubs.
