Competition 2026 FJGD World Cup - Hub Thread

[cannavo]

Welcome to the 2026 FJGD World Cup

As more teams start qualifying for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, it's time for you to put your name forward for the FJGD boards version!
​

What are we designing?
This boards last instalment in 2018 had users design soccer kits. This time, we'll be designing Aussie Rules kits

How do I get involved?
All you have to do is reply to this thread with "In"!

How will teams be selected?
All of the 2026 FIFA WC qualified teams will be put onto a 'Wheel of Names' and teams will be given via the wheel in the order of users expressing their interest. As for me, I'll put my name in right in the middle of how many we get, to be fair

However, at this point in time, not every 2026 FIFA WC spot has been filled with all 48 teams. Here are the possibilities depending on how many entrants we get:

If we get 48 users, then we're all Gucci
If we get 32 users, the top 32 ranked teams out of the 48 will be used and we'll treat it like the old World Cup format
If we get 24 users, each user will be given 2 teams to design for
If we get 16 users, either we give each user 2 teams from the top 32 ranked OR the top 16 ranked and randomly generate a knockout bracket

What are the design parameters?

• The minimum required for an entry is the FRONT and BACK of an Aussie Rules jumper
  • Shorts and socks are optional
• The front of the jumper must include the FJGD 2026 WC badge on the right breast and must remain as is
  (Click for full res.)
  
• You can have any manufacturer even if your national team does not use them
• The left breast must include your nations football team crest
  • You are allowed to edit it any way you like or leave it as is
  • You may also just use the nations flag or create your own crest if you wish
• The back of the jumper must include a name and number of your choice
  • You can use any font(s) you like

Any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask!​
