For those unaware, Jūrmalas Futbola un Peldēšanas skola/Spartaks - FK Spartaks - are a Jūrmala-based Latvian Virslīga side, and they were the fantasy client in the 420th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, and we have to assume there is justification for the drawing of parallels, several entrants - illuminaqi, Aegon, Ochoa510, uni0 and ONI - applied Spartak Moscow’s diamond to the look, and it certainly worked.

Rabbi hadn’t won a Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage for a while, so it was nice to see the legend of the game come out on top in the 419th chapter.

Fotbal Club Rapid 1923 - Rapid București - were the fantasy client, and we were blessed with a fabulous collection of concept team badges for the side.

Curiously, the 418th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), dedicated to the Mali national team, didn’t actually attract many entries.

For an international competitor of their stature - whilst not boasting a glittering history, they’ve some big scalps on their record - the side representing the Fédération Malienne de Football (FMF) would have likely expected more than seven submissions for the refreshing of their identity (in another universe).

Santa Catarina-based Criciúma Esporte Clube (EC) are not one of Brazil’s biggest sides, but they certainly have an impactful look worthy of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

Their stage was fun, with a decent range of styles in the entries, the total of which flirted with double figures.

Despite being a force in the Egyptian Premier League - or “Nile League” - Pyramids Football Club (FC) aren’t particularly well known elsewhere, but with an identity as striking as theirs, of course they needed a Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage.

The 416th chapter in that challenge’s story was wonderful, with ten impressive offerings entered and a significant task posed in deciding between the best.

Chinese football has had its ups and downs in recent years but Shanghai Shenhua Football Club (FC), the fantasy client for the 415th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), are well known globally.

That’ll explain why the stage provoked significant interest, though the quantity of entries was again surpassed by the quality.
