Competition Melbourne Suburban Football League - Announcement and Sign ups

[El_Scorcho]

Welcome to the Melbourne Suburban Football League.

The MSFL will be a league based football design competition. The competition structure will consist of a single round robin followed by finals, with the twist in this one being that you can revise your entry at any time during the competition.

Entrants will create a logo and uniforms for a brand new suburban football club based in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The club may be based anywhere in that defined area but must not share a name with a current or former AFL/VFL club.

Entrants will design and submit 1 football uniform for their created club, and submit 2 images, one with coloured shorts for home games and one with white shorts for away games.

The only design criteria for the uniform is that it must have the league logo as posted above on the right chest, and a number on the back. The black section of the league logo may be recoloured as desired but the red ball must stay red. Sponsor placement is entirely up to the designer and I encourage you to be creative.

The fun part of this competition is that you may redesign and resubmit your designs as many times as you desire between rounds, up to and including the Grand Final. Your club name, nickname and general colours are locked in, but everything else may change. Template, logo, design, presentation, sponsors, anything. You can also revert to a previous design at your discretion.

I've kept it to a single design to encourage people to resubmit as often as possible to keep their creative juices flowing. You might like to submit a 1 week special event guernsey, or you might make some template improvements, or you might change absolutely everything to try to claw your way back into the race. You might even have a big game against a quality opponent and redesign purely for the freshness votes.

Please submit your team proposals in this thread. They are all automatically accepted provided they are within the Melbourne metropolitan area. I'm not really fussed if we have 2 teams in the same place, just as long as they aren't named after current or former AFL teams.

Entries are to be submitted via PM'd imgur link, and are due 11.59pm on Wednesday 13th of May 2020.

I nominate myself as league mascot, I'm going for a Fevola or Cousins vibe. Thoughts?

I see we are going to be good friends. I’ll be going with Armadale/Toorak, with nothing else set in stone.

P.S. if anyone reeeaaaallly wants Toorak, I’ll drop that part, it’s just the only footy oval in Armadale is Toorak Oval, which is weird.

It gets weirder because Prahran play there. Remember being really excited to play there as a kid because it had a proper race that you came out through below the grandstand.

West Lalor Dragons

I wanted Lalor, was hoping I’d get in before you for that reason hahaha
El_Scorcho any chance for double ups (probably not I’m guessing)
If not I’ll take Hadfield
EDIT: never mind, just read the OP, put me down for Lalor and I’ll avoid the Dragons old colour scheme

 

[just_kick_it]

Still deciding on a location and nickname but im in!

 

[caloschwaby]

I'm absolutely fine with double ups, especially if he's West Lalor and you're Lalor. Sounds like a derby to me.
