Once in a while, a DF competition (stage) is announced and is eventually won by the very first entry uploaded.

That’s exactly what happened with the 280th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), which focussed on Swedish side Örebro SK.

As we continue our looks back at the final Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stages of 2021, 279 was a particularly interesting one.

The delightfully named SV Robinhood was the “client”, with the Surinamese side being bestowed with an array of thoughtful entries.

The end of 2021 provided a host of challenging, big team Kit of the Week stages, but KOTW 226 delivered something that very rarely happens: joint winners!

The Ugandan Premier League side Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club - KCCA FC for short - were the muse, with two designs employing the branding of Nike coming out on top.

As DesignFootball.com enters the 15th year of its existence - yeah, we were shocked too - the site is still being propelled by the talent herein.

Closing back on 14th November 2021, the stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly focussed on Singaporean side Lion City Sailors FC (278) was eventually won, thanks to our own particular brand of democracy, by site royalty Rabbi.

The result of the 225th stage of the Kit of the Week challenge (KOTW 225) is one of the least surprising we’ve had in some time.

While the voting was far from unanimous, and there were several sublime entries, Sithuralom’s shirt design for Brazilian side Sampaio Corrêa is a masterpiece, and they’re truly deserving of their victory.

Democracy has decided the winner of another Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage. This week it was 277, dedicated to Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) Premiership side Crusaders FC.

Honestly, the existing crest and a few of the entries could be mistaken for part of the masthead on the Daily (and Sunday) Express, but one can only work with an identity and not change it entirely.
