You may enter more than once, and post your entries to this thread.

I will submit the entries to Aussie Rules International.

All designs chosen by ARI will earn the designer a production over-run jumper in their design. This will be mailed to you, by ARI. So I will also need your address, once your design(s) are successful. (Or you can decline the opportunity to wear one of your own designs and I?ll get it sent to me, I?m OK with that too) You can enter as many designs for as many countries as you like.

You can use any logo you design, and also any logo belonging to that particular country.

Eg is the Belgian Lion. Similarly, Germany, Finland and Netherlands have official logos.

You may NOT use a logo belonging to another entity, company or sporting, which includes that countries other sporting logos eg Don?t use 3 Lions on the England design, or the Team Sweden Crowns (Hockey).

Each designs also has to include the countries Aussie Rules logo.

(Which is basically the Aussie Rules text, with their country's flag.

This is included in the zip file here

You MUST use this template.

Raster Template here

(DRAG AND DROP THESE LINKS TO GET THE FILES)

The logo goes on the left breast, with the respective flag and country name underneath. The flags are in the zip file, so download both if you're using Paint or Photoshop, or just the zip file if vector based software.

There will not be judging on this forum, and I will also create a page on my site http://www.footyjumpers.com for people to review each of the designs.

All judging will be done by Aussie Rules International.

Please post files on your own photo host, and I will copy them to my Photobucket account. I will require vector artwork if a design is chosen. Please be prepared to provide it. Which may include asking someone nicely if you only have Photoshop or Paint, and yours is selected.

Entries close on Aug 7, so you have 2 weeks.

PS England is the only team to currently have an official nickname, they are the Dragonslayers. Every other team is brand new.

I presume, Mero, that we are limited to using standard numbers?

Also, do we need to replicate the name of the country in their logo as per the .gifs?

Yeah, the number will be the standard AFL type font.

Helvetica is probably closest.

Yes, the name of the country forms part of the ARI logo.

If you use a logo like the Belgian lion, or design your own, it doesn't need to have the country name in it.

Also, your CCSLC name should be in the file name. Eg England-rmered.gif

I have come up with a concept but am unsure how to post it in a msg.

[redsfan39]

[paradoxdesign]

do you want the designs sent to you or to be posted on here with a link to where they are?

[Discrim]

don't worry quadi, i'm here, and I've been sitting on ideas for a good month and a half

Just to clarify something you said.

You may NOT use a logo belonging to another entity, company or sporting, which includes that countries other sporting logos eg Don?t use 3 Lions on the England design, or the Team Sweden Crowns (Hockey).

The 'Tre Kroner' [3 Crowns] design is Sweden's national emblem. It is on everything from the national coat of arms to its military planes to various government banners. It is worn by many Swedish teams outside of hockey, and its presence on the hockey jerseys themselves is considered informal by the government.

The crowns can be traced to 1 of 2 stories. They are either a representation of the 3 Wise Men [or 'kings"] who visited Jesus at the Nativity. It has also been said that the crowns represented Sweden's united kingdom over Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

It's your contest, but the 3 Crowns should be allowed on your jumpers. Is it really any different from the Finnish lion that graces the Finnish coat of arms?

[DEAD!]

Does than mean I can't use le coq for a French design? Crap! I actually designed a coq logo D'oh!

[rmered]

Vit D. My mistake, if it's a Swedish emblem, then it's OK, if it's Swedish Hockey it's not.

So that makes it OK.

Quad. Le Coq is OK if you've done a rooster. But if it's the logo of some other French team, it's not OK.

This was Kingroadz' England entry. A nice way to kick things off.

You don't need to do Home and Away, but if you'd like, go ahead.

Also remember, England is England, not the UK. Scotland is also in this comp.

England's colours are Red and White, and their flag is White with a Red St George cross.

[rmered]

do you want the designs sent to you or to be posted on here with a link to where they are?

Post them here.

That way people will be able to see what they're up against, and can also see which teams haven't been done.

[Discrim]

[Discrim]

[rmered]

Seeing as how I'm not judging, I'm entering too.

So here's my first go at a Belgium kit.

[DEAD!]

Here's my France set. I designed the logo myself. It looks more mike a pigeon than a rooster I think the rooster needs fixing....

[rmered]

Here's my Italy.

[VitaminD]

Oh, why the hell not?

And BTW, if anyone is surprised at my choice, I'll be shocked.

Ultimately it started as a tribute to the timeless Essendon sash, but mushroomed into something else. Go figure.

ERIN GO BRAGH!

[DEAD!]

Here's my England set. This can be applied to the Scandinavian countries as well
