The stylized knight on Lithuania's new logo
The Rinktine presents new logo and jerseys, with a view to growing the entire sports movement

Lithuania will not participate in the next European Championships and, so far, has not started its path very well in the qualifiers at Qatar 2022 - a 4-0 defeat at home to Kosovo. On the other hand, the Federation of Vilnius is also focusing on promoting the new image through some structural changes: new logo and new jerseys. As seen for Kosovo, the Baltic national team also has a new logo linked to tradition, and always in a similar way to what has recently been seen with the Balkan national team, the new uniforms of the Vilnius selection are simple, but what stands out in the shirt is the new logo.
The models proposed by Hummel are in fact very basic and do not have a real reference fantasy. But it focuses on the template recently created by the German brand called 'Lead', with two bands around the collar with a darker color and a shot at the bottom of the sleeves. But what stands out most in the new jerseys is the logo. Lithuania is famous for its urban feature of the medieval plan: the towns and villages have maintained that same structure and the Middle Ages can still be considered a distinctive element of the country. In the old logo, this trait was integrated into the form - with a blackdling at the top - and then, a knight was proposed instead of the tower. Now, the new coat of arms always proposes the historical element of the knight but with a completely different style: the knight is stylized and with the sword raised, accompanied by the inscription "Lietuva" (Lithuania in Lithuanian).
Sporting progress on the ground for Lithuania - which has started playing under its own name since 1994, that is, since the end of the USSR - is still in development and has still not been able to participate in an international competition. But the renewal of the entire sports movement also passes from the brand, which with these new operations, begins to communicate with the new generation of fans.
