Competition Locality of the Week - Round 6: Henley Beach

[pie_machine]

Henley Beach is a coastal suburb of Adelaide. It is named after the English town Henley-on Thames. The mouth of the River Torrens is located near Henley Beach. Henley Beach is home to the Henley Football Club (the Sharks), the Henley Raiders Rugby League Club, the West Torrens District Cricket Club (the Western Eagles), the Henley South Tennis Club (the Hawks). Henley Beach was originally the home of the Australian Cricket Academy before it moved to Brisbane.

Develop an identity for a Henley Beach-based Australian rules team

• Each entry must include an identity for the team: it's nickname and/or mascot. Ideally, nicknames and mascots will be relevant to the location.
• Each entry must have a home and clash jumper, preferably together in one image.
• Jumper designs must not be exactly the same as existing designs in the AFL.
• If there is an existing Australian rules team in the location that doesn't have an AFL mascot, that identity can be used but the jumper designs must be distinctly different.
• Each entry should include a logo. Original logos are preferred, but existing logos can be adapted as long as they are attributed. Current AFL logos cannot be used.
• Maximum two entries per person.
• Entries will close on Tuesday 25 February or when there are ten entries, whichever happens later. Round 7 will start when Round 6 closes.
• The winner will chose the locality for Round 8.

Man! Couldn't this have been Maslin Beach instead?!

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

FINALLY a location I've been to.

 

[chibimatty]

Maslin Beach?

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

First rulw of going to Maslins; you do not talk about going to Maslins.

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

an old design I made for a portfolio.

The Henley Beach Sharks

Maslin's uhh... I meant Swanborne!

Ah, I see what you mean now

I tried to combine the ideas of "Sharks" (AFL) with the "Raiders" (Rugby League) and came up with the Henley Beach Sharkhunters. Colours are similar to Damo Crows Fan, sorry mate! I had no idea youd used those colours too! The main design feature in the logo and the jumpers is the crossed harpoons

Nice stuff. How would it go with the yellow and white reversed on the 2nd guernsey, not the shorts, just the guernsey?

2nd Entry: Henley Beach Waves. This design combines the navy of the Henley Sharks Aussie Rules club and the green of the Henley Beach Raiders Rugby club. I might get a logo done for this later if I can be bothered

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Bump. Is this going to a poll or do we wait for more people?

 

[4321]

I'll get something up tonighy

 

[just_kick_it]

I will finish off my entry tommorow night, if you are happy to wait pie_machine?

 

[Bacon Warrior]

Yeah I don't think this will get to 10 entries.

 

[pie_machine]

It seems to have stagnated. Possibly there's too many other comps running at the moment, but we might revive this in the future...

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Darn. I was really enjoying this comp. But yeah, I get what youre saying

 

[HaroLad]

Would anyone else like to see this start up again? Not sure if pie_machine is active anymore, but this is one of my favourite comps.

I'm still here. I'd be happy to run this again, but only if there's enough interest.

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

You've got my support. Great idea for a competition

 

[Dylan8]

Do etttt

 

[pie_machine]

Since this round never really ended and since HaroLad gave it a solid bump, let's see if this round gets the required ten entries and then we can continue the competition.

i reckon 10 is too many, 6 or 7 minimum would be better, at least until FJGD world championship takes off and new designers begin to take part in other competitions
