Competition AFL International Tour 2023: Week 9 - Essendon Bombers

[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 5, Team 1: Essendon Bombers
Location: Johannesburg, South Africa

​

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

keen for the dees one, if Essendon goes, back may do a red base want to incorporate as much from the flag as I can

Standard home kit with South African inspired patterns on the sash and back

Yeah I can see the designs for next weeks jumpers already

Thought I'd chuck together this given the lack of entries. Pretty basic using the sash as a starting point to form the SA flag with a traditional pattern on the other side of the sash - also an attempt to take the flag design off the Melbourne yoke next week
