A challenge bouncing between club and international sides, the 322nd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) centred on the Canadian national team.

There has been consternation over Canada not having new kits at the 2022 World Cup, but we were focused on the badge they wear, with some brilliant suggestions.

The 323rd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was centred on current Romanian Liga I (SuperLiga) top dogs FCV Farul Constanța.

Managed and owned - in the main - by Romania legend Gheorghe Hagi, with fellow Romania legend Gheorghe “Gică” Popescu club president, the side has a hugely complicated past, but we like to keep things relatively simple on DF - great team badges and straightforward democracy.

Some weeks the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) is about huge teams, others minnows; we’ll leave you to decide which category stage 321 - cue Ted Rogers hand gesture* - falls into.

Accra’s Hearts of Oak are certainly big in Ghana. They have a barrowful of domestic titles and even one CAF Champions League win to their name, but they’re far from a household name internationally and that adds a little intrigue to a CRCW stage.

Some teams are chosen for the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) because of their standing in world football, some because, frankly, their club badge is abysmal, and then some are chosen - one is chosen - because they’re named after Thor and their identity has Thor’s hammer front and centre.

Iceland’s Íþróttafélagið Þór, or Thór Akureyri, aren’t known for their on-pitch exploits. As we say, Thor’s hammer, innit. And the members that got involved certainly enjoyed themselves.

Super League Greece side Aris Thessaloniki FC (or Aris FC, or AFC, or Aris, or ΠΑΕ Άρης), from Thessaloniki (or Thessalonica, or Saloniki, or Salonika, or Salonica, or Θεσσαλονίκη) in Macedonia, have a striking identity that makes them ideal for the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

As it was, there were certainly some themes that repeated in Aris’s stage, with the club of course named after Greek god of war and courage Ares, and he featured in some form on all but one of the entries.

Guatemala are far from the finest international side in the world, but that certainly doesn’t preclude them from featuring in our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

They did exactly that, unknowingly, in the 318th stage of the challenge, and we were very glad they did, as the entries were superb.
