The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage that preceded this one was dedicated to Liverpool, and the fantasy client for 303 is well known for a 1981 schooling of the Merseyside club.
The relationship doesn’t end there, as this Clube de Regatas do Flamengo edition of our contest was also won by AdilAmalik.
Of course, the Rio de Janeiro-based side tend to carry their famous monogram in the crest position, rather than the full official corporate identity, with their “CRF” combined with scarlet-and-black hoops - rather than a certain Glasgow side’s “RFC” combined with plain blue - enough to herald their presence.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t a logo beyond this, but most entries had the said monogram more prominent than on the current example. Various approaches featured, like FormaJK’s anchor-ing - too Corinthians for a Brazilian rival? - and Narci’s ultra-modern effort (don’t make us roll out that Marty McFly quote again), but AdilAmalik got it done in the voting and we can’t dispute the logic.
