Argentine Top Flight Unveils Fan-Centric LPF Logo as Online Criticism Mounts

The league framed the redesign as a fan-first identity rooted in national supporter culture.

Overview

  • The LPF launched a new visual identity on January 9 with AFA approval and a published brand manual for the 2026 season.
  • The mark features a minimal silhouette of a supporter lifting a flag, using a celeste, white and blue palette and a modern title typeface.
  • Rollout is planned across 2026 broadcasts, in-stadium experiences and digital platforms to position the competition as “the league of the fan.”
  • Initial reaction on X and Instagram was largely negative, with users extending criticism to league governance and AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia.
  • Memes likened the flag image to a viral “towel” scene involving Tapia, the promo video showcased Newell’s and Central crowds, and no formal response or reversal was reported.
