All I was thinking was just a simple Home, Away, and some kind of community/special round jersey. Although I have realised that I don't really have the time for it, so I might do it for the start of next NRL season.
WoweeHere we are again without a weekly comp
Itching for yet another one...

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!
Here's the fixture to creative juices flowing

Cool idea! A draft allocation would be fun, but I’ll be down however it comes about
Traditionally yes, and you're only 1 away! Cool idea, it's nice to have a comp where people are required to design to a brief instead of out of their own minds, which is much more in line with real world sports design
Thanks everyone! I'll get some finalised either tonight or tomorrow!Cool concept, have #10.
AiFL completly fell apart for me, I pushed it aside, finished some other projects and was hammered with schoolwork (and still am). I probably will get back in the next few weeks, but i've been saying that for a good while now. Sorry to all the participants and anyone else who was interested, I probably should've planned it better
Nah no worries, life should always come first. I can help set up threads if you like, but there’s also no rush if you plan to come back to it. All good.

Prepare yourself for the biggest revival in FJGD history

Welcome to "What If" Wednesdays - Time Traveller Sneezes Edition!
Original working title: Into The Footyverse
I picked the former for the meme culture
Inspiration
After recently watching the BTTF Trilogy, a huge lightbulb moment triggered
This boards longest running competition will get a meme cultured spin-off!
Yep, Marty has indeed done himself a mischief and has altered the course of Aussie footy in ways you can't imagine,
the real question is, what was he doing down under? We'll never know.
Refresher
"What if" Wednesdays was a competition comprised of real life football team proposals, merger propositions, former teams and a few hypotheticals brought to life by the FJGD community (eg. If the Melbourne-Hawthorn merger went ahead,
if University/Fitzroy/Bris Bears stuck around, if Gold Coasts nickname were the Lifesavers etc.)
Resource - "What If" Wednesdays - Hall Of Fame
What started as a small list of well known "What If"s The community got together and dug up some relics and made this list to compile 60 alternate timelines We honour those who made these a (kinda) reality! Easter egg - Nearly all weekly titles make up this background All Past Results...
Basis
This time or these times around, we will be flung into separate universes where the above never existed
or had its outcome altered slightly or severely!
I have my own little list of alternate universes but I open the floor to the community
to come up with your most wildest dreams or nightmares involving the footy world.
It can range from Collingwood applying for the SANFL
to GWS retaining their original Team GWS colours
You may look at the Hall Of Fame thread above to get an idea of our universes What if's and make your own twist on them
Hope you're all super pumped for this as I am!
Collingwood apply for the SANFL
Fitzroy merge with Brisbane to become the Fitzroy Bears
Sydney enter as a separate team (Bloods stay in Vic)
Tasmania agree to merger with North Melbourne

This was a great little comp for a while there that skipped the usual issues with deadlines for major comps. I'd definitely enter if it returned, great idea!Been a while since anything was posted in this thread. I've been doing a little bit of digging around some old threads though, and realised there were some pretty cool comps that have happened, yet it's been so long that so many newer faces have appeared around here and never got a chance to enter them. I'd be interested to see if anyone has any personal favourites they'd like to see come back, and whether there's anyone around who'd be interested in hosting said competitions.
One of my favourites was the FJGD Heavyweight Championship, which generally existed as divisions of 5 teams. You'd vote for a favourite in each division and each division would see two teams promoted and relegated (where possible). You could update your team as frequently or infrequently as you'd like, and as such you'd be able to compete no matter how much tinkering you wanted to do. I've linked the last round we did which also shows you how much a lot of our current posters have improved over the past 9 years (it's really been that long?).
Would there be much interest in something like that? I'd be happy to give it a start running under the same rules as are in that link. Let me know what you guys think though.Poll - FJGD World Heavyweight Championship: Round 24

I liked the ability to update the entry however often as you liked, which was also something I really liked about the Suburban league comps especially given league comps can get stale, even more so for those who weren’t expecting the talent pool to be so strong when they first submitted. Speaking of which, is a new edition of that comp in the pipeline? Would be awesome to see that one make its way around the 5 biggest cities at least once I reckon.
