rsaline Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Welcome to the Knockout Tournament for the 2022 Creamer Concept World Cup! We have 16 great concepts that have made it out of the group stages. The only thing left is to determine the best of the best! Voting for each round of the tournament will take place over two days, crowning a champion by Sunday, December 18: Round of 16: Sunday, December 11 - Monday, December 12 Quarterfinals: Tuesday, December 13 - Wednesday, December 14 Semifinals: Thursday, December 15 - Friday, December 16 Championship & 3rd Place: Saturday, December 17 - Sunday, December 18 Here are some reminders of rules for the knockout rounds: The #1 concept from one group will matchup against the #4 concept from another group. #2 and #3 concepts from the remaining groups will also match up against each other. A single CCSLC member may have no more than two entries reach the semi-final round of voting In the event a contestant has more than two entries expected to reach the semi-final round, the top two entries in terms of voting points will advance (subject to tiebreakers) Voting Methodology CCSLC Members will vote for their top one (1) entry in each matchup Members may not vote in matchups with their own concepts The entry with the most points will advance unless an individual has too many entries going to the semi-final round In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be awarded to the entry with the most total votes accumulated from prior rounds (including group stage) Accumulated votes from the group stage are normalized on a scale of 1-10 to represent the percent of maximum possible votes If total votes are tied, a coin flip is used as the tiebreaker Link to live-ish voting: Knockout Tournament Voting All concepts will be reposted in this thread so you can easily vote!

rsaline Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 The Round of 16 features eight (8) solid matchups from lots of great contestants. Please vote for one entry from each matchup by Monday, December 12, at 11:59:59 PM PST. Do not vote in your own matchups. Best of luck to the contestants! AB1 - gswansea (Wales #1) vs. GH4 - MDGP (Switzerland #2) 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. Switzerland #2 (by MDGP) CD2 - gswansea (France #2) vs. EF3 - Jake3roo (Morocco #2) 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. Morocco #2 (by Jake3roo) GH1 - gswansea (Cameroon #3) vs. AB4 - dsaline97 (Ecuador #2) Cameroon #3 (by gswansea) Inspired by the branches of the Kapok tree, Cameroon’s new crest weaves a schematic map of the nation’s rivers and tributaries into their classic circle-lion logo. Both kits draw from traditional fabrics in Cameroon to give the indomitable lions a bold yet classic look. 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. EF2 - dsaline97(Canada #2) vs. CD3 - Josef_Bretones (Mexico #1) Canada #2 (by dsaline97) The new Canadian badge includes the beaver, a national symbol and prominent icon. Canada's kits incorporate the classic angled Maple Leaf set from 1996, this time in a tonal pattern. The deep violet away shirt evokes the fluorescent Northern Lights illuminating the Canadian night sky. Mexico #1 (by Josef_Bretones) CD1 - MDGP (Denmark #2) vs. EF4 - MDGP (Costa Rica #1) Denmark #2 (by MDGP) Costa Rica #1 (by MDGP) AB2 - MDGP (United States #2) vs. GH3 - dsaline97 (Serbia #1) 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. Serbia #1 (by dsaline97) Serbia's red-blue-white colorway returns, last seen when their independence was restored in 2006. The rallying cry, "Only Unity Saves the Serbs," is on the scarf and inner collar in Serbian with four firesteels of the Serbian Cross. The clash's shoulder stripes resemble a Pirot rug, a cultural icon of Serbia. EF1- gswansea (Canada #1) vs. CD4 - lightning25 (Argentina #2) Canada #1 (by gswansea) Canada’s new brand features five interchangeable crests that celebrate unique founding dates in Canada’s history. The home kit features a modern spin on the maple leaf tartan graphic, while the away kit boasts a bold graphic inspired by the Northern Lights and traditional woven Inuit baskets.
