Hot on the heels of the club’s official contest to design Borussia Dortmund’s Home shirt for the 2023-24 season, the German side got the Kit of the Week (KOTW) treatment a little while ago now.

The time passed is evidenced in the entries from KitKong and NSGraphics - the latter the winning entry - which feature the printing of recent Manchester City signee Erling Haaland, but the stage contained an enormous array of styles and approaches across the 28 submissions.

The 292nd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) didn’t provoke the amount of designs that many do, but often these things are about quality rather than quantity.

And there was plenty of quality, including a superb FK Liepāja streamlining by recurrent winner Rabbi.

One of the many charming aspects of the Kit of the Week challenge is the possibility, as happened with the Bologna edition, of shared glory.

No extra time, no penalty shootouts - though tie-breakers have their place elsewhere - if the voting delivers an equal score, then, like two opposing captains holding the Charity Shield aloft (ask your parents), honours really are even.

We’re going to be frank, sometimes a club featured in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) is in desperate need of a badge overhaul, and South Africa’s Roses United FC are one such example.

While the “Keep On Keeping On” motto adds a certain charm - and brings to mind Streatham Rovers’ “#NeverStopNotGivingUp” - the image surely can’t be enhanced by something so crudely produced.

A little while ago, Western Sydney Wanderers were featured in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly, and earlier this year it was Melbourne’s turn for the limelight, by way of WSW’s A-League rivals Western United FC in the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.

A young club with a striking palette of green and black (with white), this particular United’s colouring was seized upon by the members, populating the stage with a variety of styles and methods.

In the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), we have a mix that includes high-profile clubs and relatively obscure sides.

South Korea’s Gangwon Football Club, who play in the K League 1, fit into the latter category on the world stage, but the palette of their branding and iconography made for an excellent edition of our challenge.
