The Real Madrid jersey is a really nice one. It’s elegant, classic, coming with the original tags

But when it comes to design, there’s so much more to it than simply aesthetics. Design without thinking is just art. And a football jersey is not a canvas.

While this jersey serves the purpose of identifying Real Madrid players, it failed massively to display their achievements. Maybe Adidas wasn’t expecting Real Madrid to win the FIFA Club World Cup (which might be hard to believe). And even if they did imagine Real Madrid winning it, the jersey wasn’t designed with that scenario in mind.

I understand that the seam makes it impossible to place it in the middle, and that’s the problem here. But if a seam makes it impossible to center it, either change the seam or change the placement of the badge, or at least center it vertically.
