People often forget Uruguay when discussing the big boys of international football, but winning the World Cup twice, plus Olympic football golds and a whopping 15 South American Championship/Copa América titles certainly qualifies them for the Kit of the Week (KOTW) treatment.

Rumours abound, apparently, that La Celeste will soon be joining the adidas stable, so the KOTW stage dedicated to them recently did have some three-striped entries, but supposedly outgoing supplier Puma got their branding on half the designs, including two of the three that dominated the voting.

Whatever ups and downs the fervently supported Olympique de Marseille have to deal with - on pitch and off - there’s no denying their standing when it comes to the history of football aesthetics.

Therefore the highly decorated French Ligue 1 side certainly qualify for a theoretical new crest via the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), and they got that in not insignificant numbers - the voting page has all the stage’s entries collected.

For the first time in quite a while, Espérance Sportive de Tunis - ES Tunis - aren’t actually Tunisian champions.

Here at DF, that wasn’t held against them, and they got the Kit of the Week (KOTW) treatment a couple of weeks ago, and, via the voting, Corinth has come out on top (again!), with a beautiful Kappa-branded shirt.

Kitchee Sports Club are massive. Massive in terms of the Hong Kong Premier League, but massive all the same.

They’re so massive that they got the 273rd stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge, and this stage, dedicated to a team from Hong Kong, was won by KitKong, but there’s more to it than that poetic result.

One of Germany’s most famous sides, VfB Stuttgart have iconic colours and an iconic crest.

But even the most iconic crests are not spared when it comes to the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), so VfB got the treatment.

Despite recent troubles, Valencia Club de Fútbol, of Spain’s La Liga, have a glittering history both domestically and abroad, and their aesthetic identity gets concept designers very excited.

So, yes, a Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge stage was more than warranted, and it was wonderful.
