yeah probably.

I dropped into a Supermarket today before cricket and the guy who served me had "Dylan" on his name tag and I was wondering "Is this Dylan?" but then I remembered you live in Melbourne and Dylan is a pretty common name.

I had a work Christmas dinner tonight, we went to this amazing Afghan place and had a banquet. It was delicious. Now we're 1-0 up at HT against Man U. If we can hold this lead this will have been a pretty good day.

It would have been an even better day if a few people had put in nominations for the FIRA. You know who you are.

I'll admit, I cackled

If we survive more than 2-0 against the Gooners I'll be stoked

ye first off thanks el_scorcho for the neknomination uh id like to nominate @stormageddon

I keep using nominations because I feel like bids implies that there is a tough competition for spots and you might not get one where really that isn't the case at all. Everyone who posts their intention to compete in this thread is in.

I will bid probably but what jumpers do we have to make?

4 kits for your club, which will be made up of a home, a clash, and two one off kits. You can supply a logo but there will be no official logo round.

If you want an amazing paint template, have a look at the ones ScottFreo and Bacon Warrior have recently released.

I already have a Washington and so far no teams in India, so you'll get your first preference.

I currently have 29 entries into this competition which is great, but i'd like to get that to at least 32 before teams are announced.

If you're considering going entering, I strongly encourage it! We're in a bit of a golden age of templates at the moment and there really has never been a better time to enter a competition like this because of that. Let's keep those entries rolling in.

You've gotta account for the people who inevitably disappear
That's why I'm still campaigning hard with only a few spots left. 29 is probably 26 at best.

I know a few people are still thinking of ideas but I'd like to get up into the low 30s at the very least

Also just reminding EMGEE_6 and The Cheesecake to provide their nicknames when they get the chance. At this stage everyone who hasn't been told otherwise will have their first preference.

Because someone has to have the token nickname not in English, I'll go with Longyearbyen Isbjørn (Norwegian for Polar Bears)
