I'm for RSL. Corinth's is decent enough shirt by itself, but in the competitive setting, original templates always stand out, sometimes even regardless of the designs on them.
Good job to both of you guys. I will be constant with my judgement of the kits this round. Corinth's USA design is simple and too the point, but I has been done over and over again in many kits throughout the world of kit design. The collar looks way to similar to that of Barcelona's new kit. The stripes on the piping are nice but very predictable.Being a Nike kit, I cannot see if the fit is modern or if you chose to let us voters imagine the fit or if that is the fit. I have to leave it to my imagination to wonder. It seems, Corinth, that you played it safe and it made the kit fall short given the round at play. Good design, but maybe something with more punch next time around. RSL's Nigeria design is original and on the classier side compared to what Nigeria has been recently wearing. Bringing back the black on green and white is a nice touch. The use of a different brand, (not sure if its made up or real) is a good call. In this case, I want to pass over the awe of the presentation becauase, as usual, it is magnificent. I want to focus on the design itself. The shorts are very simple and understandable when you see the top. Maybe white shorts could have been a good twist to the kit, but that's just my imagination running on a tangent. The top is different. It comes close to the recent Nike Arsenal template. Risky. The watermark pattern is also different and risky. It is a different take on what Puma has been doing. There is something that also makes it fall short for me. I think it was a safe bet similar to Corinth's attempt. The collar is so simple that it disappears in the design. The white/black stripes are cool though, maybe something else would have sufficed given the similarity to Arsenal's recent kit. Perhaps an all white sleeve could have given it a different edge. All in all, I think its nice and on the classy side. Good job again, RSL.
I vote for RSL. The originality of your design goes a long way in this case.
Looks like I'm in the minority here but I feel the Nigeria kit is just a little too much, also looks disjointed with the shorts not patterned. Presentation excellent as ever though. The USA kit is as mentioned playing it safe but it works nonetheless. My vote goes to Corinth.
@BP though I didn't get your vote, the constructive criticism is really helpful! Honestly, it really helps me when thinking about future designs, so thank you. In this case I felt the full kit being patterned would look a bit too '90s', but I totally get your point about it being too busy
@RedStarLiverpool No problem, man. I only do because I love this and want to be as helpful as possible for everyone whether it is that I am right or wrong. Congrats on the design and keep it up!
Wow, what a massive stomp! I feel like a Brazil player on a match against Germany. lol
Following some negative feedback on my past kits (some people were saying they looked too complex or messy), I decided to create a more clean design for this round of the competition. But I guess I over-simplified it, in a way it looked like I was playing it safe.
Nonetheless, RSL's Nigeria Kit looks absolutely astonishing. As a person who likes patterns and watermarks on kits, I found that Igbo Art pattern simply outstading! Congratulations, RSL! I'm looking forward to seeing your designs on the next round(s).
Corinth template is not doing him any favor in this design I thin he needs to work on it so his kits will look better, I have tried to look past that fact here but the design is not working in my opinion it needs something to lift it up and make it interesting, but keep at it and you will get there. RedStarLiverpool has dune a weary good kit here and the watermark pattern is working well in this design, good work mate.
@raffe thank you, sorry about the result! I really liked your kit, certainly wouldn't mind seeing the USMNT play in it :-) good luck in future competitions!
