Exceed_Idiot Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I have decided to combine the two things on my mind for most of the last year, Football(Soccer) and the Eurovision Song Contest. Originally planned to be a crossover with Euro 2024, I remembered the fact that there are some teams that are not in one or the other competition and the UK is split into its constituent parts. So I'll just be making the Football kits based on each country's song and artist and also use the existing Malmö 24 branding. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 The first country to release the song, and get a kit, is 2022 World Cup finalists and 5-time Eurovision winners France, who released their song back in November 9th 2023. The song they went with, 'Mon amour' by Slimane, is a ballad about a person wanting their (former) lover and wanting them to come back to Paris. As such the kit takes inspiration from the Eiffel Tower and the outfit Slimane uses for his live performances of the song. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Note: all the kit manufacturers are replaced by the country's national broadcaster for this. (ex: England gets the BBC instead of Nike) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 The second country is Czechia. Their representative Aiko won the national final on December 13th with the song 'Pedestal'. I'll be honest, it was a bit hard trying to capture the song into a kit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreativekun Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 interesting crossover concept keep it going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 No.3 is Albania. Besa won the right to represent Albania on December 22nd with Zemrën N’dorë. This took a while to imagine how it would look ( that 3 more songs came out) and I am worried looking at the next 2. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 So what's your plan for the UK? Just one unified team or 4 different uniforms all with different elements from the song? Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Scotland as well as there is a chance if the UK wins, the host will be Glasgow. The other 2 don't really have much going on in terms of Eurovision involvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Country 4, Slovenia with their entry 'Veronika' by Raiven released in 20th January. This was hard to conceptualise considering the directions the music video went and I wish I incorporated more stuff like the silver ferns or the one black outfit underwater but for now, this is it. and the song is my favourite so far. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 You could also say that the color changing effect of the entire set reminds of a raven's feathers Get it? Raiven -> raven 1 1 Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceed_Idiot Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 stupid thing to complain but I wish Novi Plan Drugi San was in this year's Serbian selection instead of last year's because that's a bop and I want to make a kit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Took a long time (so much that there is now 20 songs released out of the 34 I'll make, with 4 more coming by the 29th) but finally here is country no. 5, Ireland with 'Doomsday Blue' by Bambie Thug. Thank Ireland for being interesting this year otherwise, y'all would get just a plain colour shirt (like Luxembourg who are up next). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 6th country is a returning country after 30 years, Luxembourg with 'Fighter' by Tali. My most unanticipated country at the beginning, and then they revealed no local songwriters were involved with any of the songs except one and also the contest was organized by a foreign company. Couple that with the artist controversy (same reason as why I'm not doing *sr**l and *z*rb**j*n) and all the songs being so mid that I struggle to make anything out of it, and the result is a very low-effort kit from me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Malta has decided to go with Loop by Sarah Bonnici. Not much I can do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceed_Idiot Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Probably the first song from the line-up I think would win the contest, Norway has gone with Gåte's "Ulveham". It's a great song from a great band and I recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
