St. Louis City Soccer Club - or “St. Louis CITY SC”, for however long that stylisation lasts - are about to make their 2023 Major League Soccer bow, so they should feature more and more on DF as time passes.
One of the places they were bound to appear was the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge. That happened in the 256th stage, with our members really taking to the task with gusto.
Argentina’s Club Atlético Rosario Central have a lot going on on their crest, so being featured in our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was bound to deliver a lot of fun.
The challenge is not necessarily how to include all the features in a reimagining - the C, the repetition in the initialism (acronym?), the blue-and-yellow stripes, the stars, the shield and, finally, the foliage (presumably laurel leaves) - but which to leave out without diluting the impact of the famous side’s identity.
Such is the nature of our Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge’s participation, often there’s not one entry, from a single member, that stands head and shoulders above the others once the votes are counted.
That was the case with the FK Austria Wien - Austria Vienna - stage. While all the entries for the Austrian Bundesliga side were impressive - to pick two for special mentions, ArmorKuma’s crest-based pattern and Dan808’s Jordan Jumpman-branded creation will have had Die Veilchen fans salivating - two entrants couldn’t be separated.
One of the modern greats of European football is Paris Saint-Germain.
Yet to win a Uefa Champions League at point of publishing, PSG - alongside similarly backed Manchester City - will surely achieve that goal in due course, and featuring in our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) challenge is part of a natural progression - albeit possibly without appearing on their radar.
Considering how much cash the place is dripping with, it’s not altogether surprising how synonymous with style Monaco is.
Accordingly, AS Monaco and their famous Monte Carlo halves were very welcome in the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge - and the members weren’t overawed by the task.
One of the notable absences from this year's World Cup Finals is the Côte d'Ivoire national side.
And it is Côte d'Ivoire who we’ll be missing out on at Qatar 2022, not “Ivory Coast”, but the African international outfit remain deserving of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) treatment, despite their failure to qualify for the showpiece tournament.
