The majority of major cities the world have professional football teams carrying their name. There's Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester United and City, Liverpool and Hull in England. Barcelona, Real and Atletico Madrid, Inter and AC Milan, PSG, Bayern Munich and Lyon in Europe. Sao Paulo, Raja Casablanca, Sanfrecce Hiroshima and L.A Galaxy in the rest of the world. Many of these cities have other teams with different names, Aston Villa and Espanyol for example.

This is a competition that is going to challenge logo designers only.

The goal of this competition is to make the best club emblem, of any team in the Premier league.

The Brazilian championship gets underway this may, and to celebrate, here is a new kit competition for one of its greatest teams. Nicknamed Timão (grand team), Sport Club Corinthians Paulista are the five time champions of Brazil, the 3 times Brazilian cup winners, 26 times Paulista State champions and 2012 Copa Libertadores and World Club Cup winners.

Some months ago there was a competition which consisted of designed kits based on International flags. This competition is simillar, but now, you have to design kits inspired in the club's cities' flags (like Madrid, Amsterdam, Bruges, Paris...).

We're helping to start up NORTH EAST FUTSAL to run and develop futsal in the North East. There will be Boro, Teesside, York and in the future, Newcastle, Sunderland etc all involved. We want a nice crest to represent the region, which will cover the three COUNTY FAs in the area - Nothumberland, Durham and North Riding.

I recently wrote a piece for this site concerning the changing of kits in the event of a clash in cup finals.  The point being that a small modification to one or both first choice kits could avoid a team having to wear unfamiliar colours for an important occasion.

This competition is intended to put that principle into practice.  Take any significant historical final match - featuring no "away" team - where at least one team had to change, take each team's first choice kits for that season and edit them so there would no longer be a "clash".

So, here we go. The objective of the competition is to design an away kit for the legendary Dutch team, none other than Ajax Amsterdam.

The home kit can't really be "designed", since it's a never changed institution (and one of the most beautiful kits in Europe) so it's the away kit you have to do.

Major League Soccer announced today the creation of its newest franchise, New York FC. The team don't have any logo or uniform yet, so I thought this would be a good reason for a competition.

Red Star Belgrade (Crvena zvezda Beograd) is the largest club in Serbia, and is one of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe since the beginning of the next season will wear Puma jerseys. I would like to see who is going to be your closest ideal solution that we see at the beginning of next season.

It's League of Blogs time again over at The Football Attic so, like last year, we need DesignFootball.com football kits (Home and Away), and this time a crest as well, to all be presented in TFA's famed sticker book style*.

For the kits, download the gif or jpeg template from TFA and upload your designs to this site for them to be considered. For crests, upload in a supported format of your choice, using the DF logo as a guide.

As many people may have noticed, international squads are getting new kits more often than usual. Most recently, Spain, Brasil, and Italy, have released new shirts coinciding with the upcoming tournament they'll be contesting, the 2013 Confederations Cup.

One of the few teams I enjoy watching, Japan, are also competing in the 2013 Confederations Cup this Summer. To the disappointment of a Japanese and J-league shirt collector such as myself, it doesn't look as if Japan will take to the field in some fresh threads.

Rebrand Chivas USA - A rebrand competition for Chivas USA.

Parklfie FC are a Sunday League football club based in South London. We would like to have a fresh look when we take to the field next season and are offering the opportunity for the competition winner to win a shirt of their own design.

Last year, a great competition was run to design a new template for Adidas. It was very interesting to see what people came up with, under the pressure of producing something that would work well for a number of teams and styles. I'd love to see what some of you would think about designing a new template for Nike.

The winner of the competition is BIRREI. Please email damon @ borofutsal. See www.facebook.com/borofutsal for more details of the process and some finalists!

Redhill FC is 119 years old, formed in 1894. We play in Red & White striped shirts. Our stadium is named Kiln Brow, which is in Three Arch Road, we are next to a bridge which has three arches. Our nickname is the "lobsters", but we are trying to phase that out.

Based in the city of Medellín, Atlético Nacional are one of Colombia's most successful teams, with 11 domestic titles to their name, and were the first Colombian team to win the Copa Libertadores in 1989.

Pretty straightforward - design a kit for a team that you hate or one that is a rival of your supported team.  Entrants must give a reason.
