  1. Uniò Esportiva Santboiana is based in the agricultural centre of Sant Boi de Llobregat, in the fertile plain surrounding Barcelona. In Sant Boi you can find roman and medieval archeological sites as well as a thriving farming market, where the star is the local kind of artichoke. They even have a fiesta where there is a cooking contest with the use of locally sourced artichokes. UE Santboiana is one of the oldest rugby clubs in Spain and has won 7 times the Divisiòn de Honor and 12 times the Copa del Rey. Home field: Estadi Baldiri Aleu Founding: 1921 Nickname: Santboi, Santboiana Logo: Diamond shape with catalan flag and letters U,E and Shttp://ferugby.es/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/logo-UE-Santboiana.jpg The jersey: blue jersey with dark blue gradient. It's a pretty cool jersey I may say, but doesn't scream rugby to me. My redesign New logo: I used the layout of the actual logo and just modernise it a bit New jerseys: the home kit has a artichoke pattern, cause why not. The clash kit takes inspiration by Sant Boi and Catalunya flags.
  2. Independiente Rugby Club is based in the charming city of Santander, capital of Cantabria. Santander has a beautiful natural harbour, nice and quiet beaches and astonishing surrounding natural landscape making it a famous turistic spot in the north of Spain. Nearby you can find the Altamira cave, one of the most famous paleolithic work of art, with its amazing bisons and aurochs paintings. Home field: San Roman de la Llanilla Founding: 1971 Nickname: Verdes (greens), Bisontes (bisons) Logo: a charging bison in a rugby ball The jersey: Their main colors are green and white used in a hooped jersey. My redesign New logo: The idea of using the bison from Altamira is a good one, so I just tried to better the implementation of it. The petrol blue was added to the color scheme to make the green pop even more. New jerseys: the home kit is very close to their actual hooped jersey, green and white are always classy hoops. The clash kit is inspired by the atlantic ocean and its dark blue waters, from where the cliffs around Santander are seen as a fine line of green fields.
  3. Club Deportivo Aparejadores Rugby Burgos is based in the namesake city of Burgos, in the autonomous comunity of Castilla y Leon. Burgos is famous for its medieval architecture and gothic cathedral. Aparejadores was founded by the students of the University of Technical Architecture of Burgos, that at the time was named Escuela de Aparejadores. Home field: San Amaro Founding: 1970 Nickname: Aparejos (Tools) Logo: a ball swooping through the goal posts The jersey: Their main colors are yellow and black, usually used in a hooped jersey. My redesign New logo: I used the goal posts and the idea (or I thought that was the idea) of using on the inside the cathedral facade towers. I added green in their color scheme as it is present in their logo but not used in their jerseys. The lettering font reminds of chiseled and ancient inscriptions. New jerseys: the home kit is a standard hooped jersey. The clash kit uses a gothic pattern insired by Burgos architectural heritage.
  4. Club de Rugby Ciencias is based in the city of Sevilla, biggest city in Andalucia. Sevilla, running alongside the river Guadalquivir, is very famous for its historic city centre and jaw dropping architecture, link between gothic and arabic styles. CR Ciencias was founded by the scientific faculty of the University of Sevilla, hence its name, and has always been a focal point for rugby in southern Spain. Home field: La Cartuja Founding: 1972 Motto: Magno cum labore summum ascenditure (I found it hard enough to ascend) Logo: a gothic C The jersey: Their main colors are navy and royal blue, in a simple monocolor jersey with contrasting cuffs and collar. My redesign New logo: just got rid of the wierd bit on the bottom of the C New jerseys: the home kit has now a pattern inspired by moorish style mosaiques you can find in the Alcazar . For the clash kit I used the same pattern, but with a radiant goldencolor to remind the past role of the city as a major gold commerce hub.
  5. Thanks, I'll definitely do that next.
  6. Club de Rugby Cisneros is based in the city of Madrid, the capital of Spain. Madrid, nested on the castilian meseta, is world-known as an energetic and bustling city, with one of the most popolous metropolitan areas in Europe. CR Cisneros in deeply linked with the Complutense University of Madrid, the oldest public university in the city and the focal point of higher knowledge in Spain during the last two centuries. The rugby team takes its name from the Colegio Mayor Ximénez de Cisneros, the university's dormitory named after Cardinal de Cisneros, an important figure in spanish national history, and has its roots in rugby's early 20th century spread in universities all over Europe. Home field: Campo Central de la Ciudad Universitaria Founding: 1943 Motto: No parar hasta conquistar (we don't stop until we conquer) Logo: a coat of arms representing some swans, as the name cisneros means swankeepers The jersey: Their main colors are light and royal blue, in horizontal hoops. The clash kit has the same pattern but in burgundy and garnet. My redesign New logo: on the actual logo I just added the gold border on the shield and the lettering in a fitting font New jerseys: the home kit is inspired by their actual two tones blue kit that is very sleek, in my opinion. For the clash kit I used the chevron of the shield, that is a common feature on rugby jersey (especially in rugby league).
  7. Club de Rugby Santander is based in the lively city of Santander, capital of Cantabria. Santander has universities, a beautiful natural harbour and nice and quiet beaches, making it a famous turistic spot in the north of Spain. In the city you can find many charming seaside boulevards and public parks, one of them that even has tanks with penguins and seals. Home field: Complejo deportivo Ruth Beitia Founding: 2007 Motto: Todo es posible (everything is possible) Logo: a seal playing with a rugby ball, from where they got their nickname of Las Focas (Seals) The jersey: Their main color is black, with some green triangular patterns. Theyr clash kit is solid green My redesign New logo: reworked the idea of the seal, adding some more details like the wavy backgroung and the ferns, as their actual roundel is pretty standard and generic. Insted of black, I added in the color palette a dark navy blue. The roman numerals stand for the team founding year. New jerseys: their triangular pattern don't really mean anything, so I decided to link their jerseys with the beauty of the cantabrian land. The home jersey represents the ocean, while the clash jersey is inspired by the green and lush coast, where the humid climate is perfect for ferns and similar plants.
  8. Disclaimer for rugby newbies (if you know what a maul is, you can skip down): On the topic of rugby jerseys Very few rugby clubs have names on the back of the jersey, this is because the number on a jersey is linked more to a field position than to a specific player, say you are a scrum-half, your number would usually be 9. This is why in my templates you don't see the jersey backs, that usually have just plain numbers from 1 to 23. In rugby, in most clubs, you don't have a home and away jersey, you just have the team jersey and then a clash kit in case of a color clash with the opponent team's colors. For this reason sometimes it is difficult to find the clash jersey of some teams as maybe they just have a smart color combo that seldom needs to be swapped for the clash. Rugby clubs usually have just one set of socks that goes with both the main and clash jerseys, this sometimes makes them look quite out of place, but hey, they are playing rugby, not fussing around. The same can be applied to shorts, but in higher level clubs it is easier to have two sets of shorts if the clash is not matching with the main one. For this reason in my template you have two pairs of shorts, but only one of socks. Getxo Errugbia (Getxo Rugby), freshly promoted from the División de Honor B, is based in the town of Getxo (pronounced Guecho), in the Bilbao metro area, in the basque province of Vizcaya. Getxo is an affluent residential town, renown in Spain for its very peculiar hanging bridge on the river Nervión, designed in 1893 to allow the passage of the big ships built more upstream in the Bilbao dockyards. Home field: Campos deportivos de Fadura Founding: 1975 Motto: Somos rugby/ Errugbia gara (we are rugby) Logo: a charging ram, represent the solidity of the team The jersey: Some iteration of yellow and black, seems like whatever is fine, from dots to vee's My redesign New logo: reworked the ram in a less 70's way and added a bitonal pairing of black and coal, yellow and saffron for added detailing New jerseys: they don't really have a jersey identity, so I worked mainly on their distinctive colors, leaving the design simple. The sublimated stripes are inspired by the famous hanging bridge, especially by the intricated supporting beamwork and holding cables
  9. It is about time to show some love to rugby here ! As always I found an obscure league in need of an overhaul and so I'm glad to present you my redesign of the spanish División de Honor, the top tier of spanish rugby union. The league has 12 teams and has a relegation system, meaning that the last team is sent down to the División de Honor B and the champion of the lower tier gets promoted; the second to last of the División and vice-champion of the B tier get to play a play-in-out game. This is a pro league, meaning that players get paid, but for many not enough for a living, so a number of them has a side job or are students. This a very common thing in european pro rugby outside of the top leagues. Many teams have important sponsorships that even change their names, I don't really like this system so I'll call the teams without their sponsorship name. The División was founded in 1953 and since then a number of teams have won the trophy but the most succesful are Valladolid RAC (10 titles), Club Deportivo Arquitectura (9 titles) and CR El Salvador (8 titles). Teams for the 2020/21 season are: Valladolid RAC (Valladolid, Castilla y León) UE Santboiana (Sant Boi de Llobregat, Catalunya) CR Cisneros (Madrid) Independiente RC (Santander, Cantabria) CR El Salvador (Valladolid) Ordizia RE (Ordizia, Gipuzkoa) Aparejadores RC (Burgos,Castilla y León) Getxo Errugbia (Getxo, Vizcaya) FC Barcelona Rugby (Barcelona, Catalunya) Club Alcobendas Rugby (Alcobendas, Madrid) Ciencias CR (Sevilla, Andalucia) CR Santander (Santander) league map Here you have my redesiged logo fot the league. Renfe, the spanish national railway company, is the main league sponsor. For reference you also have their actual logo (this is the 2014 edition, seems like they haven't a newer one)
  10. The retro style variation is wonderful. It works beautifully and could be nice color swap in the event the new Seattle franchise opts for a green and blue scheme.
  11. Amazing job as ever! Bello, bello, bello!!! The french league seems even better than the german...
