Last month, our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) challenge gave us a stage dedicated to Prva HNL (Croatian) side HNK Šibenik.

Once again, we were treated to a whole range of styles - the ultra-minimalist through to bloody battles for focal-point status - and the voting saw several entrants registering respectable totals.

While obscure teams being chosen for Kit of the Week (KOTW) stages is a lot of fun, you can’t really beat the occasional giant of football getting the treatment.

Enter 229 late last year and its focus on the Argentine national side. It was an absolute cracker.

There can be few stages of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly with a more varied selection of styles than this one from late last year.

Stage 281 - dedicated to the Liga Venezolana’s Atlético Venezuela CF - had everything from modern, ultra-minimalist entries to timeless classics with an almost heraldic overtone, and it was perhaps unsurprising that four participants scored over 20 points in the voting.

This isn’t Corinth’s first rodeo. The 228th stage of the Kit of the Week challenge provided one of the most talented members of DesignFootball.com with another win.

Deploying photorealism and not putting too much emphasis on New Caledonia Super Ligue side Hienghène Sport’s, ahem, idiosyncratic crest seems to have been the recipe for success, with something equating to a zoomed-in blue camouflage paying off too.

Once in a while, a DF competition (stage) is announced and is eventually won by the very first entry uploaded.

That’s exactly what happened with the 280th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), which focussed on Swedish side Örebro SK.

As we continue our looks back at the final Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stages of 2021, 279 was a particularly interesting one.

The delightfully named SV Robinhood was the “client”, with the Surinamese side being bestowed with an array of thoughtful entries.
