Competition AFL International Tour 2023: Week 11 - Port Adelaide Power

[cannavo]

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!

FIXTURE

Game 6, Team 1: Port Adelaide Power
Location: Tokyo, Japan

​

RULES

1. Entries can be comprised of just the front of a jumper
   1. Back of the jumper, shorts and socks are optional but encouraged to give a full effect
2. The idea is to create a jumper inspired by the nation the chosen club is playing in while making it look like it belongs to the said club
   1. For example, if Richmond played their game in the USA, a jumper with red and white hoops and blue cuffs won’t be acceptable because it bears no resemblance to the club
3. Teams will be done in the order of the fixture
4. THIS RULE APPLIES TO THE SECOND TEAM IN A FIXTURE: After the first team's jumper is made, the second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper
5. Accompany your entry with a sentence about the nations reference/influence shown in the jumper
6. You cannot directly copy any past/present designs from the chosen club
   1. You are allowed to use any of the club's current jumpers and make a subtle hint to the nation (EG. Melbourne in China used their home jumper with a dragon on the side or St Kilda in NZ with Maori watermark)
7. Maximum 2 Entries
8. Any other questions, please ask

Started off paying tribute to that famous early 2000s away jumper with a 'storm brewing in Tokyo'. The writing below is AFL logo is - what google says - the symbol for power in Japanese. Tried to make the skyscrapers look like the Prison Bars but failed. I must say, I did a black variant as well which looks decent but figured the sentimental aspect of the teal puts me in best position.

The ideas were flowing like water, I had to make 2 entries (Check Rule 7)



A stylized Torii gate is the centrepiece along with fading teal oriental watermarks

And here's one if the pies get lippy

The front design takes influence from a 'Super Sentai' helmet (Specifically Genji's from Overwatch). Super Sentai is a Japanese superhero franchise which has been running since 1975 and was the precursor to Power Rangers. The quote comes from an episode and the background is scenery used in the show
