We know that the new logo has already been leaked, and it will be unveiled very soon. Like many new logos, there are many versions of it. But I already beg you to put in this page the blue logo with the white name "Italia" and without the white border. If you search in Footy Headlines article, you'll found it Roby Markz ( talk) 13:21, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Italy logo has officially changed. Which one will you choose? The white one or the blue one? The Italian Wikipedia has chosen the white one, probably because of the blue stars, but there is also a blue logo with the blue stars, not only with the white stars Roby Markz ( talk) 21:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Not sure it’s accurate to say that players have recently been called up when they have 40+ caps. ‘Recalled’ to the squad maybe. Andyeff ( talk) 19:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
Immobile is not the permanent captain of the national team so far, he wore the captain's armband only ONE time as the official captain, then he has not been called up anymore. 85.165.41.105 ( talk) 11:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
The source is fine, we know, indeed he is mentioned as the current captain on the top of the national team page, but this is not the point here.
The point is that one has to see and take into account the events and the facts. The fact is that since September, when he has been named captain by new coach Spalletti in an interview, Immobile wore the captain's armband only ONE time, and lately he has been left out of the squad by the coach. This means that his captaincy is almost "virtual" and unstable as so far it counts for only 1 match. So what I said very clearly is that one has to WAIT and SEE before including Immobile in the list of the stable and permanent captains of the history of the Italy national football team.-- 85.165.41.105 ( talk) 17:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
That table is about the "long-term" and stable captains, it has to be underlined; otherwise one can think to add to that list any player who has been the captain during one or a couple of matches.-- 85.165.41.105 ( talk) 17:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
No, your reasoning here is wrong. If taking your example, Immobile is no longer called by the national team in 2024 and more importantly he is no longer playing and no longer wearing the captain's armband, he should not be included among the historical and long-term/permanent captains since he will have worn the captain's armband as the designated captain only once, on 9 September 2023 against North Macedonia.-- 85.165.41.105 ( talk) 14:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I made an edit regarding Italy's upcoming confirmed fixtures against Peru in Miami and against Ecuador in March 2024. Why is this being removed? Multiple sources have confirmed this including: https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/italy-to-play-series-of-friendlies-in-united-states-this-march-20240108-WST-481909.html, https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Nazionale/06-01-2024/italia-ecuador-a-philadelphia-e-italia-peru-a-miami-a-marzo.shtml, https://us.as.com/futbol/italia-jugara-la-fecha-fifa-de-marzo-en-estados-unidos-ante-peru-y-ecuador-n/.
