Fonts used on South Africa 2010 World Cup jerseys

Typography of World Cup jerseys: In general, or just Italy’s. Or read an interview with Paul Barnes, who designed the faces for – yes – Italy and several other Puma-sponsored countries (Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Switzerland, Uruguay).
England should have used Comic Sans.
Just to get that one out of the way, hmm?

I am a huge font geek.
I think the Crepello font used on Italy's jersey is quite nice.

I like how the "more info" link in the "just Italy's" link leads to a tweet. Because whenever I want more info on something, I go directly to Twitter.
Snark aside, there has been some fantastic design happening around the World Cup, and I'm thrilled to see more examples of that.

I hate that the L's look like backwards J's. Every time I see one of those I feel suddenly dyslexic.
Oh, and while I was watching Greece the other day, it took me a while to figure out why the players' names were apparently spelled out in a mix of two alphabets; turns out those Π's were actually just shitty N's. Duh!

What I really want to find out is what font the Dutch use. That're pretty striking.

Really? From my vantage point the Dutch look as if they've applied their numbers with strips of tape. just wrong
