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. The team was founded in 1910, and named after the ameteur team Corinthian Casuals, from London. The original shirts the team wore consisted of Cream with black trim, but changed to the classic white shirts and black shorts combination. The change kit has been black, with the most common design being that of black with white candy or pinstripes. Rules - 1 - Maker - Nike 2 - Sponsor - there are no sponsors on replica shirts, Caixa is the main sponsor (front of shirt and back of shirt above number) until 2014 on match shirts. For the competion, one sponsor on the front and back of shirt above number. The suggested sponsor is Sangue Corithiano, but Caixa can be used. 3 - No green anywhere on shirts - Corinthians have a huge rivalry with Palmeiras. Any shirts breaking this will be excluded from competition. 4 - all shirts must have a number and name on the back, with the name below number, and a number on front of shorts. 5 - Feel free to use any of the crests from the clubs history The competition will run from 7th May untill 26th of May. There will be Four Categories - Best home kit, best change kit, best third kit, and best remake of Corinthinians original colours (Cream with Black Trim) The judge for the competition will be erojkitimao.blogspot.co.uk (go there to see a history of Corinthians shirts) Boa sorte!
Ill post a larger version of the Sangue Corinthiano logo later, for the competition.
I decided to use the Sangue Corinthiano logo for the competition because 1 - its a nice logo, 2 - the meaning of Sangue Corinthiano (Corinthian blood) and 3 - to save time so people dont have to spend months putting all the logos Timao have plastered on their shirts in some competitions on there:smile:
Replica shirts are sold with no logos, while the team play with many logos in some competitions, and a different set in others. I thought it best to standardise them all.
Amendment to rule regarding sponsor - you can use either the Sangue Corinthiano logo (either logo, and you can use just the wordmark), or the Caixa logo.
Not that many entries so far, which is 1 - party my fault and 2 - pretty dissapointing, so the deadline has been extended until june the second. Thanks to all the entries so far, and more entries would be great.
