Welcome to the Australian Cricket Premiership!
The Australian Cricket Premiership is a club based first class cricket competition. Competitors will design a cricket club based in an Australian city, town or suburb from the ground up, with an emphasis on history and tradition. We want it to feel like these clubs have been around for 100 years, as opposed to big bash style franchises. I am fine with someone using the name of an existing suburban cricket club (say, the Melbourne Cricket Club or Western Suburbs Cricket Club etc), but the club's design must be entirely new and distinct.
The tournament structure will consist of a round robin league and finals, depending on how many entries we end up with.
Competitors will submit 1 first class cricket uniform. That will consist of:
- A white polo style shirt and pants. The body and sleeves of the shirt must both be white. Just to make this clear, club colours and designs are absolutely allowed, but they must be minimal, as you'd expect on a test or Sheffield Shield uniform. If you're not sure if you're using too much colour, as me. I will allow cream to be used in place of white, however keep it pretty low saturation.
- A baggy style cricket cap in your club colours.
- An original club logo.
Your logo layout will be as follows:
There are to be no sponsors (apart from the apparel manufacturer), player names or numbers on the kit. I will allow secondary logos etc as you see fit.
Remember, this competition is unashamedly about presentation. We're all designing mostly white shirts, after all. This board has had a strange relationship with templates over the years, with some people getting annoyed that they feel that they're getting beaten by slick templates and good presentation instead of the actual design on the kit. In the last couple of years, we seem to have gotten over that and people generally understand that presentation and attention to detail is just as important. So how do we relate that to this competition? How can you make your white uniform look the slickest? Attention to detail regarding the cut and trim of your kit is vital to give yourself a point of difference and to make your entry really eye catching. The skills you develop by solving this problem will carry over well to other competitions.
While i've asked for "bidding" in the thread title, there will be no bidding process. Just post the name of your club in this thread, and try to ensure that you don't use the same club name as someone who has posted before you. As soon as you've posted in this thread, get designing.
Entries to be sent to me via imgur link and PM no later than Sunday 8th of March.
