Suburban Footy is BACK in 2021!
But it's not in Melbourne anymore.
I was absolutely thrilled with the interest and effort that people put in last year. People really embraced the suburban spirit of the competition and I had plenty of resubmits throughout the season to keep things really fresh and interesting.
The format of the competition will remain identical (unless I get a huge influx of entries, in which case there will likely be a 2nd division). A single round robin league season, where 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 twist, again, is that you can completely change everything about your entry apart from location, nickname and colours and resubmit every round.
Why move from Melbourne, you ask? Well there are 2 reasons. Firstly to share the love around a bit. Secondly because of the resubmission feature, which means a lot of people have already submitted a series of designs for their club and might want to do something new. I'm not ruling Melbourne out forever, but i'd at least like to get through the major capitals if this competition continues to run long term.
Where to?
That's what this thread is for. Make your argument for different cities and in a couple of weeks i'll put up a poll to decide. It'll likely be a choice between Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Sydney unless someone can convince me that I should include another city.
I'm aiming to have this poll finalised by the end of February, with March then for people to come up with teams and design, and the league kicking off at the beginning of April. It's a bit earlier than last year but i'd rather not clash as hard with Can-Am as we did.
Also feel free to post any feedback or ideas for the competition you might have so it can be improved. I did think about enforcing local brands (or at least fake brands in a local style, like car yards and pubs) for sponsors just to keep things a bit more on theme, but I don't want to infringe on people's creativity too much.
