Pulv! Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It is聽about time to show some聽love to rugby here !聽 As always I found an obscure league in need of an overhaul聽and so I'm glad to present you my redesign of the spanish Divisi贸n 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聽sent down to the Divisi贸n de Honor B and the champion聽of the lower tier gets promoted;聽the second to last of the Divisi贸n聽and vice-champion聽of the B tier get to play a play-in-out聽game.聽This is a pro league, meaning that聽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聽so I'll call the teams without their sponsorship name. The Divisi贸n was founded in 1953 and since then a number of teams have won the trophy but聽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: 聽 Valladolid RAC (Valladolid, Castilla y聽Le贸n) 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 Le贸n) Getxo Errugbia (Getxo, Vizcaya) FC Barcelona Rugby (Barcelona, Catalunya) Club Alcobendas Rugby (Alcobendas, Madrid) Ciencias CR (Sevilla, Andalucia) CR Santander (Santander) 聽 league map 聽 Here you have my redesiged logo fot the league.

Pulv! Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 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聽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聽backs, that usually have just plain numbers from 1 to 23. In rugby, in most clubs,聽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聽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聽of shorts, but only one of socks. 聽 聽 Getxo Errugbia (Getxo Rugby), freshly promoted from the Divisi贸n de Honor B, is based in the town聽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 Nervi贸n,聽designed in 1893 to allow the passage of the聽big ships built more upstream in the Bilbao聽dockyards. 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽聽 Home field: Campos deportivos de Fadura Founding: 1975 Motto: Somos rugby/ Errugbia gara (we are rugby) Logo: a charging ram,聽represent the solidity of the team聽 聽 聽 The jersey: Some iteration of yellow and black, seems like whatever is fine, from dots to vee's聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽 聽 聽 My redesign New logo: reworked the ram in a聽less 70's way and added聽a bitonal pairing of black and coal, yellow and saffron聽for added detailing New jerseys:聽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 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽My聽Behance聽聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽聽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insted of black, I added in the color palette a dark navy blue. The roman numerals stand for the team founding year. New jerseys:聽their triangular pattern don't really mean anything, so I decided to link their jerseys with the beauty of the cantabrian land.

vtgco Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I can't say that I'm聽very familiar with the sport but it's cool to see some rugby concepts! 聽 The league logo is clever but it could be a bit cleaner. The goal posts could be thicker so that they match the letter "I" in Divisi贸n, with the horizontal bar higher up to sit next to the rest of the word "Honor." Finally, you might try to reduce some of the empty space on the bottom with a less vertical shield shape. 聽 Santander's jerseys look really excellent, especially that beautiful fern away jersey. I think they would be even better with just the seal & ball rather than the whole crest, perhaps in all black on the away! If you keep the roundel, though, you might ditch the Roman numerals and go with one fern per side with stems that follow聽the circular shape. 聽 As for Getxo, I have to say I'm partial to '70s logo design, so I'm not feeling the new logo so much. The sublimated jersey chevrons are solid, though I'd say it'd be cool to have a design that closer matches the shape of the bridge (maybe聽2 chevrons in a row, maybe with pinstripes?) 聽 Anyways, it's a nice start to the聽series! 聽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgco Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Cisneros look nice, only suggestion would be to switch the Kappa logo to un-outlined blue on both jerseys. It's not necessary, but you might consider聽adding some yellow accents on the home just 'cuz. 聽 Ciencias looks really excellent with those mosaic patterns! I'd consider adding a white stripe on the sleeves to get a bit more connection to the socks. Also, I'd be interested in聽a version of the pattern where the shade of the tonal pattern is slightly different for each shape as you go away from the center might be kinda cool. Neither change is really necessary, but I'm curious. 聽 Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
