Submitting Designs
  • PM all images to me (All guernseys, all-in-one and logo)
  • All designs must be sent in by the 8th of October 2015, if you're late penalties will apply
  • If all guernseys are sent before that date the competition may start earlier, depending on how NAFL entries are going
  • If there is something wrong with what you submitted I will inform you, otherwise they will be considered final. If you would like to change anything you submitted, feel free to do so before the due date
  • I understand you have a long time until the due date, but try not to be that guy that everyone is waiting on.
PRE-SEASON (OPTIONAL)
  • If you would like to submit an ORIGINAL logo there will be a pre-season round
  • If you would like to be a part of the pre-season PM me your logo by the 15th of September
  • You will not be affected negatively if you don't want to join the pre-season (I recommend you do join though)
  • The winner will earn the right to boast a silver star on their logo (if you have a suggestion for what the winner should get, do share)
  • When you send in your logo make sure to let me know if it's an original and if you'd like to be involved in the pre-season
Feel free to use this thread as general NAFL Reserves discussion along with sharing promos, teasers and whatnot.
If you have any questions, do ask them.


Jumper Reveal - October 7th (Earlier if all entries are received earlier)
First off, the jumper reveal will be optional. If you don't want to submit anything extra you do not have to, I'll just use your all in one or your home image. However, you have the opportunity to educate the voters and other competitors on the meaning behind your design and maybe a little backstory of your club if you want to delve into that.

You can submit one image and/or 150 words max. However, words in the image do not count towards the word limit. I'm not saying you're allowed unlimited words in your image though, just use common sense.
Here's an example of what you could do with your image that shows roughly how many words would be acceptable.

It's up to you what jumpers you want to include in your reveal image but it must include at least your home jumper. You can choose to keep your heritage and christmas kits secret, or you can have all your jumpers in it, it's up to you. I will allow for the announcements of those jumpers to happen one week before the relevant rounds if you want to go that way.

So to recap, if you want to you can submit a form of jumper reveal that displays the meaning/backstory/whatever you want for the beginning of the season, and you have the option to do the same thing for the one-off jumpers one week before their relevant rounds.

Sorry to inconvenience anyone who has already completed their designs or won't have the extra time to dedicate to a jumper reveal, that's why I've made it optional. If you don't want to do a jumper reveal for your team just let me know if you want me to post your all in one, or your home image when I do the big reveal. Also, this is somewhat experimental so I may have missed some points you're curious about or there may be some ways it could be improved, just let me know your questions or comments ASAP so that this can run as smoothly as possible.

The returning Dragons are bigger and better than last year already.

The Dragons youth wings contest was this year won by a 9 year old girl and her design is absolutely fabulous!
The Christmas day guernsey team is still working hard as we speak!

I want to go down the Werribee jumper route for minebut I don't think it'll get me very many votes. Also my heritage is done (last years home jumper). Very difficult with imagery when your moniker is "United".
Then why not change?
 
I edited a part of the OP and thought it'd be worth posting just so that everyone is aware.

When you send in your logo make sure to let me know if it's an original and if you'd like to be involved in the pre-season.

I should have included that in the OP in the first place.

I think this is a great solution to the logo debate. Originals only, and only those who actually want to participate by creating their own logo can have their own mini-comp.

One suggestion though, what if there were points awarded to the winner for the season proper? Perhaps four points for first place and two points for runner-up? I think this could encourage more people to participate and try to develop this side of their designing if there is a more tangible bonus attached to it. At the same time, for those that really can't/don't want to do it, its only the equivalent of one win/draw that only a couple of teams will get, so its not majorly putting them behind the 8-ball for the actual season.

If a team misses out on finals to a team that got the bonus points, then maybe that will just provide incentive to create their own logo next time.
 
Are you still looking for some people, Maxwell110?


DiamondGuy if you're interested.
2 more would be good, but they'd have to be in WA in QLD

Hmm, I'm not too keen on disadvantaging anyone who just has no interest in making a logo but I do like the idea. Maybe 2 points to the winner? I'll have to do some more thinking. Actually, I might add a poll to this thread soon asking who plans on submitting an original logo and who doesn't, and if the majority say they would then the winner and runner-up of the pre-season will get some points.
 
Poll added about points being awarded to the winner of the pre-season round, please vote so your opinion counts.

Was thinking as there's a few teams with green/yellow combinations, I might drop green for purple... and also avoid the fact I'd be using green for a tassie team as well.

Or try and integrate both purple and green into the design? Just a suggestion..
 
Are you still looking for some people, Maxwell110?


DiamondGuy if you're interested.

Hey, thanks for the invitation. I have never taken much interest in these kinds of comps, I vote occasionally but have preferred to do designs for real AFL teams. If you really need someone else to participate though, you can include me.
