As for finding the images, this site has quite a few of the logos: [url]https://logo-share.blogspot.com[/url]. That site doesn't have the most current for Jeonbuk, Ulsan, Ansan Greeners, Chungnam Asan, or Daejeon Hana Citizen. As most of those are K2 clubs, there aren't too many to worry about just yet.

Just make be sure to double check if it's the current crest or not on [url]kleague.com[/url].

Happy designing!

@danieldanieldesign There was also a Daniel who signed up via Instagram. Just want to double check and see if that was you before assigning another team. Apologies if it wasn't you. haha

@MrRyanWalters Yes, it is me. Once I wanted to do 2 designs, I'll take both Jeju and Bucheon 95', is it ok?

Anything left? xd. In that case, I'm in

@danieldanieldesign Not a problem! Happy to have more kits. If we have 17 people registered though, I'll likely make your two kits go head to head to determine which one will participate in the group stage.

That's 17 kits by 16 designers, so I think I'll cap things there so we have four groups of four.

Once all the kits are submitted, I'll let you know the groups and we'll get the voting started!

Hope you're all enjoying making the kits.

Cheers,
Ryan

@KWEBA [quote name="KWEBA13"]Anything left? xd. In that case, I'm in[/quote]

You're in with FC Anyang. Love their purple kits in real life, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :D

Hi all, I’ll tackle these issues one at a time so as to not miss anything. 
1. Designing for multiple teams as well as the option for home and away kits was clearly stated in the rules in my first comment. (It’s literally the first rule posted.)
2. The rules for voting and where it would take place was also clearly stated. I will hold my hand up here and say I wasn’t able to get the designs on here due to connectivity issues in Korea where Design Football doesn’t work (I’ve been using a VPN when I can). For that, I apologize. 
3. If we’re really being a stickler for the rules, they also said that every kit must have a chest sponsor, which the Busan kit doesn’t have despite me personally sending it via Twitter. However, I’m well aware of how much time goes into designing kits, so I ignored that and put the kit into the competition anyway. Because this is a volunteer project that’s meant to be fun. 
4. As for the conspiracy theory that I somehow have kits in the competition and am rigging the vote is laughable at best. The amount of fake accounts on multiple social media channels I would have to create to do that is absurd. The kits that are winning the votes are winning because they’re well designed and people like them. 
5. As for “exploitation,” I’m not 100% how that’s even possible. K League United is a news site, so the kit competition doesn’t really help our visibility. For the fourth year in a row this competition is simply for a bit of fun and to try and help spread the word of you fine folks that designed the kits. Hence why I asked for social media accounts to tag you all in the posts. We are also doing a write up about the designer who wins to help further spread the word about their design work and Design Football. KLU is a non-profit site and all of the work I’ve put in organizing and posting on various platforms is simply to enjoy the kits and try to cheer people up during this difficult time. There is literally nothing for me or my site to gain beyond looking at some fun kits. 

As mentioned, this is the fourth year I’ve hosted this competition on here and haven’t had issues before. However, if more than a single person is truly upset about this, then I will leave it off the table next year to avoid any further anger or feelings of ill will. 

Thank you all for your contributions to this year’s competition. I hope the majority of you are enjoying it. 

Cheers,
Ryan

@MrRyanWalters thanks for the reply, can you update us on the results on this site please.

@MrRyanWalters Don't worry mate, those were just thoughts of a paranoid little man who doesn't ever follow the most simple rules. Don't let these kind od trolls ruin this fun competition. We've been dealing with him for a quite long time, best thing is to ignore him. :D

@cukun We've banned him again. He brings so much negative energy, it's unbelievable.

@Skyebaggie I'll post the Group Stage results as well as the Semifinals in here today. Thanks for your patience.

@cukun Thanks for the quick response on this. Had no idea it was that bad with him.

@Design Football Oh wow. Multiple bans. Thanks for being on top of it and dealing with everything so quickly.

Ryan, perhaps I misunderstood but I assumed the group stage voting would also be on this, and other, platforms.

@Skyebaggie No no, you're right. They were supposed to be on here as well, but I had issues getting logged in and eventually had to sign up for a new VPN. For whatever reason, this site doesn't work from Korea and I ran out of time trying to fight it. Not overly pleased by it as I'd really like to hear what designers think of the kits. I mean... hell... if y'all want, I'll do a separate DF only vote for the group stages and remake the Semi-Finals? Could be fun?

@MrRyanWalters Not sure why this site would not work in Korea. I've changed some settings, can you try again without VPN to see if it works now?
