The typeface for the Italian teams was drawn by Paul Barnes for Commercial Type. More info here.

I was wondering the same. Thanks for the link Tiffany.

Thanks Tiffany, nice sleuthing; it was driving me nuts that I couldn't find any more info on the web about it. Do you know if Commercial Type did all the Puma jersey's? Camaroon's away jersey is pretty great as well.

Posts like these remind me that there actually is a reason to use twitter.
