Democracy has decided the winner of another Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage. This week it was 277, dedicated to Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) Premiership side Crusaders FC.

Honestly, the existing crest and a few of the entries could be mistaken for part of the masthead on the Daily (and Sunday) Express, but one can only work with an identity and not change it entirely.

DF’s members haven’t been overawed by their crest-designing tasks in recent weeks, embracing the brief to supply, in theory if not practice, both the DFB and giants of Argentine football Club Atlético River Plate.

That said, plenty of the entries for the 276th Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage clearly came from a thinking that the iconic current crest is too appropriate to abandon.

The Crusaders stage and voting on the River Plate chapter are about to close but pierrelapa was a few days ago announced as providing the best German national team crest.

The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly is an eclectic rolling challenge which occasionally, as in this case, takes on a mammoth task. The DFB is one of the most iconic associations on the planet and the branding its representative side carries is instantly recognisable.

With the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), it’s often the case that the subject matter is a major football club or international team with a glorious history.

Sometimes, on the other hand, it’s a team that just has an impactful identity. They don’t come more impactful than that of Missile Football Club.

The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) has been on fire recently, and the 273rd chapter is a prime example of the talent DF plays host to.

It also marked another win for Aegon, as their Żejtun Corinthians offering pipped Rabbi and pierrelapa’s respective efforts to be declared the best alternative club badge for the Maltese side.

It’s Sunday, so the arresting Missile FC designs are about to become subject to the armistice, but the week past delivered the confirmation of the winning design in the 272nd edition of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

Aegon, after losing their proverbial belt to Rabbi for a week, is back on top. Their Ararat Yerevan creation souped up the current crest, added to the border a representation of Mount Ararat, and even turned the White Eagles’ famous avian emblem blue, all to hugely aesthetically pleasing effect.
