📸 Nike unveils a new logo in honour of Alexia Putellas

Some athletes are simply synonymous with a particular number.

Think of Michael Jordan and 23, Cristiano Ronaldo and 7, or Wayne Gretzky and 99.

In women’s football, the number 11 belongs to Barcelona and Spanish national team legend Alexia Putellas, who has shined for more than a decade with that number on her back.

And now, the three-time Champions League winner has teamed up with Nike to unveil a new signature logo that places her alongside figures like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.

“When I started watching Barça, I remember 11 was Rivaldo, a left-footer. I fell in love with that number,” she said.

“Everyone wants the 10, but 11 is special. When someone sees the eleven, I want them to think of Alexia.”

Nike’s new signature logo for the world champion is a monogram that intertwines her initials and her jersey number to form a crown, a direct nod to her nickname, 'La Reina'.

The logo was created as part of her status as a Nike signature athlete, a move that highlights her position as a global icon in women’s football and two-time winner of the Ballon d’Or and UEFA Player of the Year award.
