The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) takes in football teams from around the world and, consequently, the last stage to close in 2021 was dedicated to a club plying their trade in the A(ustralian)-League.

Your correspondent is not so into Australian football, or “soccer”, and has been known to mistakenly refer to the Western Sydney side as the “Warriors” rather than “Wanderers”. Here’s hoping the Wanderers' notable appearance in CRCW will finally put that error to bed.

Hot on the heels of the Argentina stage, the 230th chapter of the Kit of the Week challenge focussed on another football great: Liverpool Football Club.

To say it didn’t disappoint is a huge understatement. We were treated to a patterned number where the predicted 2022-23 Nike template was deployed, a striking design branded as “Nike AIR”, a photorealistic effort hanging from Anfield’s Shankley Gates - so, so cool - and improvements on the American manufacturer’s 2020-21 and 2021-22 (“all-red”) releases - amongst other masterpieces!

Last month, our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) challenge gave us a stage dedicated to Prva HNL (Croatian) side HNK Šibenik.

Once again, we were treated to a whole range of styles - the ultra-minimalist through to bloody battles for focal-point status - and the voting saw several entrants registering respectable totals.

While obscure teams being chosen for Kit of the Week (KOTW) stages is a lot of fun, you can’t really beat the occasional giant of football getting the treatment.

Enter 229 late last year and its focus on the Argentine national side. It was an absolute cracker.

There can be few stages of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly with a more varied selection of styles than this one from late last year.

Stage 281 - dedicated to the Liga Venezolana’s Atlético Venezuela CF - had everything from modern, ultra-minimalist entries to timeless classics with an almost heraldic overtone, and it was perhaps unsurprising that four participants scored over 20 points in the voting.

This isn’t Corinth’s first rodeo. The 228th stage of the Kit of the Week challenge provided one of the most talented members of DesignFootball.com with another win.

Deploying photorealism and not putting too much emphasis on New Caledonia Super Ligue side Hienghène Sport’s, ahem, idiosyncratic crest seems to have been the recipe for success, with something equating to a zoomed-in blue camouflage paying off too.
