Belgium’s Royale Union Saint-Gilloise (Union SG/USG) have had, for the most part, a dream 2021-22, finishing top of the regular season Jupiler Pro League table and just being pipped in the Championship Playoffs by giants Club Brugge.

Likely as a consequence of their form at the turn of the year, Les Unionistes were selected for the Kit of the Week (KOTW) treatment, with the stage featuring an eclectic mix of theoretical directions the club could go in style-wise.

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.

Many in recent years have been thrilled by the RR McReynolds Company’s takeover of Welsh side Wrexham AFC, with said company equating to actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

Indeed, this has enhanced the interest in Wrexham’s sartorial decisions, and their selection as the subject for our Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge resulted in our members providing the resurgent force with a plethora of alternative shirt style options.

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.

The Senegalese have had quite the 2022 so far, pipping Egypt to both the African Cup of Nations title and qualification to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

So it’s quite fitting that the Lions of Terranga were the subject of a stage of our Kit of the Week challenge earlier this year, and what a stage it was.

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.
