Gradually, Saudi football club Al Hilal Saudi Football Club are working their way into the global public consciousness.
The current champions of Saudi Arabia’s Roshn Saudi League, Al Hilal - or “AlHilal” or “Alhilal” or “Al-Hilal” - have an increasingly identifiable blue look and that was the clay the members had to work with in the 264th stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.
The 315th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) saw sights set on Paraguayan side Club Olimpia.
Although the sum of the entries only dipped its toe into double figures, what the Asunción-based Primera División champions got/could’ve won wasn’t to be sniffed at.
Securing the three-peat for Sithuralom, the 263rd stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge was a cracker.
Malmö Fotbollförening (FF) - of the Allsvenskan, and Sweden’s most successful club - have a gorgeous identity deploying shades of blue and white, which was adopted with relish by the members.
Bolivia, and the Federación Boliviana de Fútbol, were the fantasy client of honour in the 313th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).
The South American side have a complex national identity - perhaps several national identities - but La Verde are recognisable through their green shirts and the crest featuring the national Tricolor flag (not the Wiphala) and the Andean condor, all taken onboard by the DF members.
The 262nd stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge was focused on Ecuadorian giants Club Sport Emelec and resulted in Sithuralom’s second successive win.
Whilst it was a comfortable victory, several other entrants can take pride in their totals in the voting, as the audience sat back and enjoyed the array of fantastic ideas.
While the goal with all of our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stages is to provide an alternative to - or indeed an improvement on - an “IRL” badge, the upshot is often an elaborate compliment to the designer of said emblem.
That was arguably the case with the 313th stage. Up stepped a fantasy client from France’s Ligue 1, Lille Olympique Sporting Club (LOSC), and what followed was largely a tribute to the stylings of the current badge.
