My son also wanted to vote (he's 9 and a huge soccer fan/player). If his vote can't count, I understand. I did tell him he couldn't vote for me, and I didn't sway his votes at all. Also including his comments about each one.

 

1. Argentina #3 MJWalker - "There's a lot going on, but I love it"
2. France #2 gswansea - "How did he get it to look like they are wearing it?!?!?"
3. Denmark #2 MDGP - "I like how the logos make up the cross"
4. Mexico #1 Josef_Bretones - "I like the shading of the colors from darker to lighter"

Only CCSLC members, but if coinflips can't break a tie, I may come back to this.

 France #1 (by Wildcomet)

 

 Denmark #1 (by loholt)

 

 Poland #1 (by Djruggs)

 

For Poland, I based their new crest and identity on the details of the Flag of the President of Poland (shown here). As for the crest, a simplification of the eagle from their coat of arms is introduced to distinguish it from their previous crests.

 

 Argentina #1 (by FlyingLamprey)

 

 Tunisia #1 (by HRC4)

 

 Australia #1 (by GriffinM6)

 

 Australia #2 (by RBronish)

 

 France #2 (by gswansea)

 

The new France logo features the iconic gallic rooster perched on the lictor's fasces, another national symbol of France. The home kit pays homage to France's fashion industry and 'Les Bleus' nickname. The away kit celebrates French impressionism in a vibrant all-over paint brush graphic.

 

 Denmark #2 (by MDGP)

 

 Mexico #1 (by Josef_Bretones)

 

 Poland #2 (by SSmith48)

 

Poland draws from its past here, with a crest inspired by older designs, and a home kit with the block design from 2012, but with a new tonal pattern meant to resemble a waving flag. The away shirt has a collar and cuff pattern inspired by eagle feathers.

 

 Argentina #2 (by lightning25)

 

 Argentina #3 (by MJWalker45)

 

 Saudi Arabia #1 (by dsaline97)

 

The identity of Al-Suqour Al-Akhdhar (The Green Falcons) represents two key pieces of Saudi culture—falconry, a centuries-old practice used to aid in hunting, and the palm and crossed swords, the Saudi Arabian national emblem. A palm leaf pattern is carried through the shoulders of both kits.

 

 Mexico #2 (by kb105)

 

 Saudi Arabia #2 (by Jake3roo)

Voting is here! We received 16 submissions for the teams from Groups CD.

Best of luck!

 United States #1 (by RBronish)

 

 Senegal #1 (by Djruggs)

 

The aim of this set was to incorporate as much of Senegal's flag into the design elements as possible, as well as some traditional African style patterns to accentuate the kits.

 

 Wales #1 (by gswansea)

 

The new Wales logo puts a contemporary spin on Wales’ hallmark red dragon crest. The home kit features a classic red base with angled striping. The away kit reimagines the stripes from Wales’ 1992 away jersey, supplemented by a modern floral pattern.

 

 Netherlands #1 (by GriffinM6)

 

 Netherlands #2 (by loholt)

 

The new crest uses the lion head featured in the country's crest as well as OnsOranje (our team) which is the mantra for the national team. The kits feature the timeless Netherlands orange with some other features to differentiate from past kits. 

 

 England #1 (by HRC4)

 

 Ecuador #1 (by FlyingLamprey)

 

 Wales #2 (by Josef_Bretones)

 

Wales are experiencing a golden age with their national team and are once again feared in the world. This redesign of its concept is based on three main values:
national pride, history (they are the third oldest federation in the world) and fierce and competitive character of a dragon.

 

 Qatar #1 (by kb105)

 

For Qatar’s first World Cup, the primary uses a center stripe inspired by Al Sadu weavings. The clash uses hoops inspired by the design of the Qatari flag and the national emblem. The crest is inspired by the emblem, replacing the palm trees with the national tree, the sidra tree.

 

 Qatar #2 (by IceInMyVeins)

 

 Senegal #2 (by MJWalker45)

 

 United States #2 (by MDGP)

 

For the US, I chose America’s other symbolic native bird, the turkey, combined with the Washington monument and iconic flag stripes. The jerseys take inspiration from historic hoops and sash kits creating a modern, unified look. The scarf is inspired by the popular supporters’ “I Believe” chant.

 

 Wales #3 (by Wildcomet)

 

 Iran #1 (by lightning25)

 

 Netherlands #3 (by TheGiantsFan)

 

The crest features a cross inspired by the famous windmills of the Netherlands, all contained within the iconic Dutch tulip. The iconic orange primary kit features the repeating windmill pattern, and the clash kit features a tulip pattern that’s colored to resemble a map of the Dutch shoreline.

 

 Qatar #3 (by SSmith48)

 

Qatar’s design is evocative of key cultural aspects. The crest resembles the sails of a traditional Dhow boat, the home kit features a zig-zag pattern inspired by the national flag, and the away kit features a tonal wave pattern, linking to both the sand and sea that defines Qatar’s geography.

 

 Ecuador #2 (by dsaline97)

 

Ecuador's new crest features the return of the Andean Condor, a cultural fixture and symbolizes the nation's greatness and strength. The primary jersey's diagonal feather pattern represents a sash from kits of the 50s–70s. The trim on the clash is derived from patterns found at the renowned Otavalo artisan markets.

 

 England #2 (by Jake3roo)

 

Iran #2 (by bnjmnmorse)

Voting is here! We received 19 submissions for the teams from Groups AB, and there’s lots of great talent on the boards!

Question, I do not have any sort of template for uniforms... could I use a uniform designing tool from a clothing company and upload my colors, graphics, etc into it to make my uniforms or would that be considered against the rules?

Any kind of template is welcome as long as you keep everything on one image. Please make sure you are able to create your own logo and scarf as well.

I have one final question. Are the artworks anonymous or can we sign them?

They probably need to be anonymous.

In the rules document in the OP, it says that the username needs to be on the submission. I left enough space around my name on mine for it to be erased if necessary though. 

The submissions will not be anonymous. I will tag your username in the post so it does not necessarily need to be placed on your image. I only need you to include your username if you send me an email so I know who it belongs to!

In the rules, it says the artistic description can be no more than 50 words. Can we put these 50 words on our submission image and include images of things that inspired certain design elements? Or should this just be something submitted in text in our submission email?

The intent was that any text outside of the single image be limited to 50 words. If you want to have "Nike speak" on your single image, that is okay too. Including images of inspiration on your entry is also okay.

Question, it's just one pair of shorts and socks that we can show per kit? Just wanna make sure. 

Yes. Only include one jersey, shorts, and socks option for each kit that you design (primary/clash).

The first group has been posted (Groups A&B). Please sign up in that thread if you'd like to participate.
