One of the notable absences from this year's World Cup Finals is the Côte d'Ivoire national side.

And it is Côte d'Ivoire who we’ll be missing out on at Qatar 2022, not “Ivory Coast”, but the African international outfit remain deserving of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) treatment, despite their failure to qualify for the showpiece tournament.

We like a three-peat in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), and come the 304th edition, it wasAdilAmalik’s turn for that honour.

Club de Fútbol Monterrey - Rayados - are one of Liga MX’s most famous sides and the giants of Mexican football have an iconic crest, so it was a brave call to try to better it.

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.

Following on from Barcelona, Liverpool Football Club were the featured fantasy client in the 302nd Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage.

While Barça’s crest was tweaked, Liverpool’s corporate logo is polarising - the move to the simple liver bird on the shirts has been welcomed - so the entries were more drastic deviations in this case.

What you see at the top of this page is not the crest of Futbol Club Barcelona.

No, handing its designer a three-peat in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), the above badge is a concept created by Aegon and its similarity with the Catalan side’s current on-shirt identity speaks volumes.

The 300th edition of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was a little different, but the result was very similar to the previous: Aegon winning a stage involving a side known by their four-letter initialism.

Los Angeles Football Club - let’s face it, LAFC - are inadvertently subject to the current backlash towards black-and-gold football kits, having the overused colourway as their first-choice look, but the relatively young MLS team certainly have a striking identity, which our challenge embraced.
