Yeah, not that Santos, but the 288th Crest Redesign Competition Weekly stage was centred on Kingston-based Santos Football Club of Jamaica’s KSAFA Super League.

Unsurprisingly, several entries of this edition of CRCW owed a lot to the stylings of the Brazilian giants’ crest - as, in fact, does the real-life counterpart - but these were toned down on the winning design.

Perhaps owing partially to usually sharing a look with Manchester United, Urawa Red Diamonds are a consistent favourite for fantasy kit designers.

The Saitama-based J1 League side also often see their crest the subject of the concept world, and they were honoured with a Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stage early in 2022.

One of the football stories of this year so far has been North Macedonia’s victory over Italy which sent the European champions out of the Qatar 2022 qualification playoffs.

Whilst the Southeastern-European side fell at the next hurdle - Portugal - their famous victory will resonate through the years and, while they haven’t made it to the upcoming World Cup, they’ve more than merited their appearance in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) earlier in ’22.

The Canadian Premier League has had a lot of kit fanciers talking in recent weeks, and the 285th edition of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) earlier this year focussed on Langford’s Pacific FC.

Less than four years into a club’s lifespan perhaps seems a little early for a makeover, but the 2022 pacesetters are gaining fans and with that comes the interest of the kit- and crest-design communities.

As always, the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) has a spectacular stage running as we speak, but 2022 has delivered several outstanding winners - including in the Israel Football Association edition.

The Israeli logo has been controversial for a while, owing to its uncanny similarity to the version sported by Ireland, so it was well-deserving of the DF challenge treatment.

The Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) takes in football teams from around the world and, consequently, the last stage to close in 2021 was dedicated to a club plying their trade in the A(ustralian)-League.

Your correspondent is not so into Australian football, or “soccer”, and has been known to mistakenly refer to the Western Sydney side as the “Warriors” rather than “Wanderers”. Here’s hoping the Wanderers' notable appearance in CRCW will finally put that error to bed.
