Competition "What If" Wednesdays: Week 12 - GWS Wolves

[cannavo]

Welcome to the return of......​

​

Each Wednesday (most likely not) a non-existing team that has been known in the AFL world as a proposition or a former team will be brought to life!

Each comp will run for 1 week and the poll will run for 1 week or more if needed.
The winner picks the next team in the list below​

There are 3 routes you can go by if you're stuck

• The chosen team has entered the competition in 2017 along with the current 18 OR
• Design kits as if they've been in the competition all along OR
• Go back in time when the team entered the competition or when a merger would've happened (if applicable)
  eg. Design kits in 1991 when Adelaide entered the competition as the Crows
  Design kits in 1997 when the newly formed Melbourne Hawks would play their first season

Your job is to produce a:

• Home kit
• Away kit (Home with white shorts is acceptable) and/or Clash kit or Heritage kit or Other kit
• Club Logo (OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED)

This week we ask....


​

NEW RULES 23/6/15 (Read Carefully):

1. Kits and Logo must be in 1 picture (Makes polls easier to fit everything in)
2. The kits can consist of just a Jumper (Shorts and socks are encouraged to give a full identity effect)
3. Minimum 2 kits and there's no limit to how many kits you can include after that
   eg. Home and Away and/or Clash and/or Heritage and/or Others
4. Maximum 2 entries per person
5. For the former teams I'll allow the use of the last jumper design the club used only once (Opens the door for that modern creativity)
6. For the proposed teams Directly copying a kit (Colours and design) of any team is disallowed
7. For the mergers, no restrictions. You can take any elements from the clubs involved in the merger and create whatever you please as long as youdon't copy any proposed designs that have been brought up already
8. Proposed and Former teams - Do not use logos or jumper artwork that is being used or has been used by the club before (exception in Rule 5 for former teams)
9. Any team - Creating a logo from scratch is encouraged but you may take inspiration from and/or alter any sports logo to drive home your design.
10. Any proposed designs that have been brought up for the current team will not be allowed for use
11. Proposed Teams - You may use any colours you like even if it is being used by the team as long as it doesn't replicate any past/present designs the team has

Any other questions will be answered

Don't think the comp has any more interest.

Same here...

 

[fancyscum]

Hopefully some more people get involved, although I think that asking for a home and away kit might be a bit much these days for a weekly comp.

What was that again?

This comp did start nearly 2 years ago but since my hiatus, I've always wanted to see every possible outcome from each team listed above. It's fascinating to walk down an alternate timeline for the AFL and I know there's still a lot of potential to be seen. But yeah it's been hidden for a long time but maybe more exposure should get it started again

Also as stated in the OP, a home jumper with white shorts can be the away too if you like

 

[Klim]

What was that again?

Two designs in and its the premier comp. NAFL eat your heart out.

What's with all the salt, Klim? This is a cool comp. If you don't want to enter that fine, then don't. He never claimed it to be the premier comp so I'm not sure what's that part's about, too.

Well someone had to respond. Its a joke which did not need a reply to.

Can you be a little bit clearer next time?

 

[NM_Mitchell]

King Klim will be as clear as King Klim wants to be.

[Fizzler]

I was going to enter but I liked my design a lot so I'll save it for the NAFL. I may eventually post it, but for now it'll remain secret.

 

[Jarrarrah]

heavily inspired by their current kit

 

[Red Crow]

This was my concept I came up with way back when. I've put it onto a modern template, but its a pretty faithful re-creation of my initial design.

The idea was to mimic a traditional V-style jumper, but with a small kink to turn it into a W. I did a few different colour schemes at the time, but I loved the idea of a sky blue and claret team.

it reminds me abit like werribee in the vfl

Yeah I never knew that jumper was a thing until about 3-4 years ago, so I've kinda unintentionally ripped it off a bit, although its a much bigger, deeper W.

it was originally the first werribee jumper

Werribee wore the W from the beginning and around the 2000s changed to a wings based design. In 2013 they wore the W against Port Melbourne to commemorate the club's first and only VFA 1st division premiership. They must have really liked it so they made it the home jumper in 2014 and onwards. A good choice if you ask me.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

A good choice if you ask me.

The loss of this beautiful bastard proves you wrong.

On another note, here's magnificent Milky Warren. The man that should have been.

 

[MooreTreloar]

Where could I find the previous 12 versions of the thread?

Interested to see what was put up.

Thanks

Oh, I definitely lament the loss of that beautiful guernsey. Maybe they should meet in the middle and make a blue W jumper. And on Milky Warren, how he was kicking 6 goals in every other game for Werribee and not getting to play seniors is beyond me, a true legend.
