When it comes to fantasy crest design, DF really is the Alpha and Omega.

Well, the Omega will have to wait, but for the 389th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) we were providing concept options to Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League side Alpha United Football Club.

The Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge is continuously on a world tour and the 338th stage was dedicated to Ecuadorian Serie A side (Club de Alto Rendimiento Especializado) Independiente del Valle.

It was superb, with twelve entries eventually making the voting page, and the podium ended up with three people jostling for stable footing in the gold-medal position.

The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) takes in both club and international teams - as well as some fictional teams - and the 388th stage was the turn of the Latvia national team.

The Latvijas Futbola federācija (LFF) representative side carry a quite modern badge on their chests currently, and a CRCW stage isn’t necessarily a condemnation of an incumbent, but there’s no reason to not provide alternatives.

Kuwait Sports Club - The Brigadiers - are the current Zain Premier League (Kuwaiti) champions and a powerhouse domestically.

They were also the fantasy client in the 387th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), and that had some very impressive entries.

Côte d'Ivoire - really, it should never, ever be “Ivory Coast” - have had a decent start to 2024, winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON/CAN) tournament they hosted (after a far-from-decent start in the competition) and being blessed with a Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge stage.

Les Éléphants have plenty of admirers around the world, due to their exploits and the amount of world football greats who have donned the orange shirt, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that the DF members put huge effort into their entries.

Due to football beginning in 1992, plenty of people don’t realise that, before then, Wolverhampton Wanderers - Wolves - were once one of the best teams in England.

Particularly young people might not realise that they’ve spent a decent amount of time struggling lower down England’s divisions too, with recent years’ dabbles with the upper reaches of the Premier League the stuff dreams were once made of, and now they’ve had a Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage!
