What you see at the top of this page is not the crest of Futbol Club Barcelona.

No, handing its designer a three-peat in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), the above badge is a concept created by Aegon and its similarity with the Catalan side’s current on-shirt identity speaks volumes.

Football shirts don’t get too much more iconic than - while we’re sure we’ve used that phrasing before - the style worn by Porto-based Portuguese side Boavista Futebol Clube.

With that in mind, they had to at some point feature in our Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge, and it was the 249th stage that ended up being the one.

The 300th edition of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was a little different, but the result was very similar to the previous: Aegon winning a stage involving a side known by their four-letter initialism.

Los Angeles Football Club - let’s face it, LAFC - are inadvertently subject to the current backlash towards black-and-gold football kits, having the overused colourway as their first-choice look, but the relatively young MLS team certainly have a striking identity, which our challenge embraced.

Tanzanian Premier League side Simba Sports Club were the focus of the 248th Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge stage.

Not the most high-profile of fantasy clients, Simba SC nonetheless provoked some impressive creativity out of participants, with an array of entries featuring elaborate patterning and graphic embellishment.

One of the most important identities in Romanian football is that of FCSB.

Argued to be on the natural lineage of the iconic side Steaua București, FCSB - as they are bound to refer to themselves as currently - have been a domestic force since 2013, even if there is debate over the decades prior to that, so were well worthy of having the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) light shone on them.

Slovenia have one of the most iconic examples of kit “colours” in international football, and indeed in football in general, so excitement wasn’t in short supply when the international side were announced as the focus for the 247th stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.

It was a stage that didn’t disappoint. And we say that a lot, but very few stages do disappoint, so it’s with good reason.
