Competition AFL International Tour 2023: Week 14 - West Coast Eagles

[cannavo]

A second 3-Peat attempt is denied!

You heard right. The AFL is taking the game abroad one more time!
Devoting an entire round to showing the world what this great game is all about.

However...

All 18 clubs won't be subject to having the flag of the nation they play in
slapped on their jumper next to the Australian flag.

Each club will have a newly made jumper inspired by
the nation they're playing in (similar to Melbourne in China or St Kilda in NZ)

It can be subtle or out of this world
It's up to you!

FIXTURE

Game 7, Team 2:West Coast Eagles
Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil




First Team Jumper

Rule 4: The second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper​

RULES

1. Entries can be comprised of just the front of a jumper
   1. Back of the jumper, shorts and socks are optional but encouraged to give a full effect
2. The idea is to create a jumper inspired by the nation the chosen club is playing in while making it look like it belongs to the said club
   1. For example, if Richmond played their game in the USA, a jumper with red and white hoops and blue cuffs won’t be acceptable because it bears no resemblance to the club
3. Teams will be done in the order of the fixture
4. THIS RULE APPLIES TO THE SECOND TEAM IN A FIXTURE: After the first team's jumper is made, the second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper
5. Accompany your entry with a sentence about the nations reference/influence shown in the jumper
6. You cannot directly copy any past/present designs from the chosen club
   1. You are allowed to use any of the club's current jumpers and make a subtle hint to the nation (EG. Melbourne in China used their home jumper with a dragon on the side or St Kilda in NZ with Maori watermark)
7. Maximum 2 Entries
8. Any other questions, please ask

Since West Coast rock 2 of Brazils colours, it's a no-brainer to include the green to create this absolute banger

Chucked this together to ensure we can have a vote.

Based off the Brazilian flag and West Coast's yellow strip, instead of the blue representing the wings on it's normal jumper - this version represents the Pacific Ocean - which separates our two countries, being on opposite sides of the Southern Hemisphere. This is also shown by the two interpretations of the Southern Cross on our flags on opposite of the globe on the jumper.

I have also changed the eagle on the jumper - usually a Wedge-tailed Eagle native to Australia to the Harpy Eagle - known as the Royal Eagle in Brazil - displayed with a striking crown. It's also facing towards the West this time as if it's looking towards home from Brazil.

I've also added some Green - as well as changing the actual Blue and Yellow - to represent Brazil while also not trying to take away from West Coast's heritage and identity.
