Czechia - the Czech Republic - are not currently the same level of formidable they once were, but that shouldn’t deny them, especially with their history of course incorporating Czechoslovakia, a stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

It didn’t. The 410th chapter in CRCW’s story, for the Czechia national team and the Fotbalová asociace České republiky (Football Association of the Czech Republic), took in a range of approaches, with beauty in abundance.

Bahraini Premier League side Al-Muharraq Sports Club (SC) were the fantasy client for the 359th stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.

Perhaps not as high a profile as all previous subjects of concept creation in KOTW but that didn’t stop members enjoying the contest, and certainly visitors to the site enjoying the fruits of their labours.

Anything in the current geopolitical climate relating to Ukraine is certainly emotive, and that definitely goes for the national team.

For the 409th stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW), the task for DF members was to provide the said international side - and the UAF (Ukrayins'ka Asotsiatsiya Futbolu/Ukrainian Football Association) - with a new badge, with the current version so recognisable and so similar to the emblem often being seen worn by one Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Hamilton-based Forge Football Club (FC) are one of the biggest teams in the Canadian Premier League, so of course they’ve made it to the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge.

DF members certainly had fun with the stage, with, for example, Dan808 deploying their trademark glow effect for a sparky affair nodding to the inspiration for the team name, and RedCardConcepts instead focussing on the incredibly close partnership with coffeehouse sponsor Tim Hortons - good enough to eat!

There’s been a lot of love for the Georgia national team recently so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that they made an appearance in our Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).

The 408th stage was dedicated to Jvarosnebi (The Crusaders) and the Georgian Football Federation (GFF), with most entries focussing on takes on the current national team badge’s image of St George slaying the legendary dragon.

The 357th stage of the Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge centred on Paraguayan Primera División giants Club Libertad.

The Asunción-based side do fun things with their nominally black-and-white-striped look and DF members don’t need asking twice.
