Chinese football has had its ups and downs in recent years but Shanghai Shenhua Football Club (FC), the fantasy client for the 415th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), are well known globally.

Among the designs were lovely shields from the likes of OTHYcreative, Solfix - with a flower to nod to the “Shenhua” (Flower of Shanghai) name - and, bagging the win, Aegon.
