Baghdad-based Al-Shorta Sports Club (SC) are in the midst of establishing some dominance in the Iraq Stars League, so of course they needed a visit from the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

Stage 395 of our famous challenge saw most entries stick with (tonal) green and gold, and while illuminaqi went with a modern look and white as contrast, as did Molejo - with the addition of the Iraqi national flag - the podium had a samey look as far as the palettes were concerned.

Aston Villa signed with a new supplier for 2024-25 but the 343rd stage of the Kit of the Week challenge wasn’t particularly concerned with that.

The result was some absolutely spectacular designs for the famous Birmingham-based English Premier League side, and that is demonstrated by derkamartz’s wonderful effort not even making the podium.

Manchester 62 FC, the Gibraltar Football League club, might not be known to too many people, but their colours and the stylings of their crest certainly suggest that of their inspiration, European giants Manchester United.

And that was how the 394th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly played out, and while ONI, for example, retained the inclusion of the Rock of Gibraltar, this had a Red Devil-less Red Devils look on Rabbi’s silver-medal-winning entry and the vote-reflecting podium was completed - by way of Aegon’s third-place-achieving effort and Corinth’s triumphant design - with submissions “United” in effect.

We don’t visit Gautemala all that often, at DesignFootball.com, so it was nice to have Liga Nacional Club Social y Deportivo (CSD) Municipal featured in the 342nd stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.

And it was apparently nice for OTHYcreative too, as it resulted in the second stage win in succession for that particular DF member, and the winning design is a lovely Away shirt in a golden-yellow hue with navy-and-red embellishment.

Heard of AS Lössi? No, us neither, but the Super Ligue de Nouvelle-Calédonie (New Caledonia Super Ligue) side have quite a striking identity that the DF members had fun with for the 393rd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

That fun included Art2KnockOut’s creation, incorporating the current stylings of the club badge, as a lot of the entries did.

The country of Afghanistan has had a tumultuous couple of decades, but sport has played a major part in that period, and is often a beacon of hope for people with challenging lives.

The 392nd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was duly dedicated to the Afghanistan national team - the representative side of the Afghanistan Football Federation - and it didn’t disappoint.
