Starting this one off a little earlier this week,

Just before we begin, I must mention that things in the last few hours have seemed kind of weird to me, like something is different to how it should be.

Oh well, probably just me, I guess that is what happens when you drive at 88mph.

I was looking on the net over the last few days and I came across a great site that you may have heard of. It goes by the name of FootyJumpers.com.

This site is a great resource, however I noticed that there is a problem with it. The sites designer seems to have forgotten to add the guernseys for one of the oldest clubs in the league. In fact we all know they were the 11th team to join the league. You know the one, yeah that team, the one from the Gold Coast.

As everyone knows the team was founded in 1909, but the creator of FootyJumpers.com seems to have only put up those horrid designs that the club considered changing to last year (including that terrible logo). Luckily as we all know that never happened. But after all that he seems to have not added any of the other club designs throughout their 100+ year history.

So lets help him out by at least starting the process and make this years guernseys for him. If you want you can also recreate the actual logo (you know the one!!!).

So just to make sure you are up to speed, you will need to create the clubs 3 guernseys (home, away and clash) for this event. You may also choose to include the logo.


PLEASE READ THE RULES AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES CAREFULLY, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THEM WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF YOUR ENTRY.


Rules

Here are the rules for this DESIGNATHON Event:

• Any registered board member may enter;
• Participants are limited to ONE entry per event. You may enter as many or as few events as you like;
• All entries must be your own original work, logos may be edited.
• You may use any template you like as long as at least 1 other forum user uses the same template;
• All guernsey designs will be required to use the number 22 on the guernsey, no unique numbers will be accepted;
• A home, away and clash guernsey must be created. A logo may also be created. All designs must be submitted in one single image.
• I will serve as the contest's referee, and will answer any questions about rules and event criteria. Questions must be asked within this event thread, and will be answered here. I will NOT respond to any questions about an event in a PM, instant message or personal email, so don't contact me directly. I will be the judge to any dispute.

Anyone caught cheating or otherwise compromising the integrity of the DESIGNATHON will be disqualified, stripped of awards and/or banished from future participation.



Submitting your entries

All entries must be submitted using the following guidelines

Failure to follow the guidelines could result in your entry being inadvertently (or intentionally) excluded from judging.

To save having a mass of private messages each entries image must be emailed as an attachment to bigfootydesignathon (@) gmail (dot) com prior to the set deadline. Subject line should be the event number and your username (Ex: Craegus Event 4). Once you submit your entry, it is considered final.

Do not upload you image to an image hosting site. Google searches can easily find these images and this will remove the anonymity of your entry. Once the polls close for this event, you may then upload your image.

Do not include your name or any other personal identifiers on your submission. Also, do not watermark your work. You are expected to keep the identity of your entry anonymous until the end of the event. If you think you know the identity of another designer, keep it to yourself. Anyone who exposes the identity of themselves or anyone else will be DQ'd.

All entries must be in .png format but can contain plain backgrounds with no identifying marks, though no background is preferred.

I will NOT contact you if your entry is wrong, therefore make sure that you comply to these guidelines before submitting your entry.

You will receive a confirmation email (automatically generated).

I love the anonymous voting, but it would be great for this one to be a user-post system. I have an awesome back-story for this :p:

Yes, you need to create (re-create) the Gold Coast team that entered the competition in 1909 guernseys that they wore in 2011.

Oh i get it now something like this?

No, like when Richmond wore their 100 year jumper a few years ago. A modernized version of what they wore 100 years ago.

No, no, no, no, no.

Kind of like that LC.

Here is the simplified version of the event.

History has changed,

Gold Coast were founded in 1909 rather than 2009

Your job is to design the guernseys the team would wear today if the above scenario happened.

So it isn't to recreate their 1909 guernsey (unless you believe they wear the same thing).

The whole FootyJumpers.com bit is just there to hold the idea together and create a story to why this event is happening.

Also as I didn't put this into the event info,

Remember when the club entered the competition, this may have affected how other teams that entered later chose colours/designs, so what teams wear today not may not be the same as history has changed.

e.g. Hawthorn may not wear brown and yellow stripes as the Gold Coast may have worn red and yellow stripes before Hawthorn entered the competition.

Hopefully that clears things up.

Hate to be a fusspot but if Gold Coast were founded in 1909, then they would not be the 9th team to join the league, they'd be the 11th. 1908 and 1909, the VFL had two new teams in Richmond and University.

Still, this is an interesting one to work with so I'm going to subscribe to the thread to keep it in mind.

You sure it says that? ;):p

But yeah, my mistake, I forgot Fitzroy and University, the list I looked at had them separated from the rest of the teams.
