Competition AFL International Tour 2023: Week 4 - Gold Coast Suns

[cannavo]

You heard right. The AFL is taking the game abroad one more time!
Devoting an entire round to showing the world what this great game is all about.

However...

All 18 clubs won't be subject to having the flag of the nation they play in
slapped on their jumper next to the Australian flag.

Each club will have a newly made jumper inspired by
the nation they're playing in (similar to Melbourne in China or St Kilda in NZ)

It can be subtle or out of this world
It's up to you!

Spoiler: Fixture

Game 2, Team 2:Gold Coast Suns
Location: Seville, Spain

​

First team jumper

Rule 4: After the first team's jumper is made, the second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper
​

RULES

1. Entries can be comprised of just the front of a jumper
   1. Back of the jumper, shorts and socks are optional but encouraged to give a full effect
2. The idea is to create a jumper inspired by the nation the chosen club is playing in while making it look like it belongs to the said club
   1. For example, if Richmond played their game in the USA, a jumper with red and white hoops and blue cuffs won’t be acceptable because it bears no resemblance to the club
3. Teams will be done in the order of the fixture
4. THIS RULE APPLIES TO THE SECOND TEAM IN A FIXTURE: After the first team's jumper is made, the second team's jumper cannot clash with the first team's jumper
5. Accompany your entry with a sentence about the nations reference/influence shown in the jumper
6. You cannot directly copy any past/present designs from the chosen club
   1. You are allowed to use any of the club's current jumpers and make a subtle hint to the nation (EG. Melbourne in China used their home jumper with a dragon on the side or St Kilda in NZ with Maori watermark)
7. Maximum 2 Entries
8. Any other questions, please ask

A stylized GC features in the flag of Spain on the front and the flag features on the sides too. The watermarked image is the Solar Tower in Seville with their arranged solar panels

The Gold Coast monogram has been reimagined in tribute to 20th century artist and Spanish icon Pablo Picasso, inspired by his 1968 Petit Soleil motif of a smiling sun. Black collar and cuffs feature in a nod to national animal the Andalucian bull, whilst also acknowledging host city Seville, Andalucia's largest city. The Gold Coast colour palette has been swapped out to match the shades of the national flag.

I'm going to have trouble picking a winner from these 3 absolute crackers (& hopefully others to come)!

The design is inspired by some Hispanic patterns and the colours are obvious!
