Curiously, the 418th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), dedicated to the Mali national team, didn’t actually attract many entries.

For an international competitor of their stature - whilst not boasting a glittering history, they’ve some big scalps on their record - the side representing the Fédération Malienne de Football (FMF) would have likely expected more than seven submissions for the refreshing of their identity (in another universe).

For the 366th stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge, something a little different was decided upon.

In fact, Skyebaggie had the Weatherfield County Football Club (FC) chapter as a “curveball for non-Brits”, and we think that’s fair.

Santa Catarina-based Criciúma Esporte Clube (EC) are not one of Brazil’s biggest sides, but they certainly have an impactful look worthy of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

Their stage was fun, with a decent range of styles in the entries, the total of which flirted with double figures.

Despite being a force in the Egyptian Premier League - or “Nile League” - Pyramids Football Club (FC) aren’t particularly well known elsewhere, but with an identity as striking as theirs, of course they needed a Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage.

The 416th chapter in that challenge’s story was wonderful, with ten impressive offerings entered and a significant task posed in deciding between the best.

The San Marino national team have a lot of love around Europe as a plucky underdog, and their gorgeous sky-blue look helps too.

Owing to all that, a stage in the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge made sense, so it happened.

Chinese football has had its ups and downs in recent years but Shanghai Shenhua Football Club (FC), the fantasy client for the 415th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), are well known globally.

That’ll explain why the stage provoked significant interest, though the quantity of entries was again surpassed by the quality.
