Resource External competitions on BF – a history of being burnt

[Fizzler]

It isn't really a crack at him.

The point is that there was a competition, the person who was the link between the club and here left the board and as such we may never know how it turned out.

Therefore it would count as an unsuccessful external competition.

Yeah but not being on for 2 months and then first post back is pointing out something Grandsun did in a thread that hadn’t been touched for like 3 months is a little suss.

 

[Fizzler]

For the record this season is yet to finish in the NFNL. Next season I’ll be on the look out to let you guys know if they did adopt the design.

To follow up on a competition from late last year, the USAFL's Nashville Kangaroos came knocking to FJGD for a guernsey design. The club ultimately chose my design, and the thread for this can be found here: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...-if-we-use-your-design.1184391/#post-53876037

Forgot to post it a few weeks back when it arrived, but a massive shoutout to nashvilleroos for following up on their word and providing me with a copy of the guernsey. Actually turned out extremely well, and Blackchrome's garment quality is pretty darn top notch, which is half the battle with guernsey design - production quality. The photos don't really do it justice, but yeah, I think it turned out really, really well.

Spoiler: The original concept

Did the club request the watermarked sections in the blue? The design originally didn't have that.

Yeah, they followed up requesting it be added to the design. Personally I’d have gone for the cleaner look, but I don’t think the watermark came out badly or anything.

Ahh, great thread - I’d forgotten that back in the day we had a random discussion thread that the mods would redirect all the shitfighting to...

Back in the day when a 9 year old campaigned to become a mod after being a member for less than a week.

Do say more...

I was ahead of my time and asked politely all those years ago.
Others... not so polite

Gibbsy might be worth adding this to the OP

 

[caloschwaby]

What a legendary thread.

I have recieved payment of $30 over PayPal for winning the Poland Devils logo competition. Green tick from me for this one.

 

[magpienato]

Received $50 from SSGiants for the Årsta Giants logo. Green tick from me

Congrats mate, it was a top design!

 

[DiamondGuy]

Hey Gibbsy, would you mind adding this one to the list please?

Golden Grove Training Guernsey comp went off without a hitch earlier this year and I've received my prize.

Just looking above, fantastic to see some successes recently!

 

[Red Crow]

Man I just read through that Rockingham Flames thread again. Possibly my favourite thread on BF. Scorch's effort was at least one hundred billion times better than the incumbent, let alone the WordArt effort by a junior player and "rather gifted graphic design student" which was their front-runner. It seems they have finally updated their logo and uniform though, to something that I feel has not been designed by a talented junior.

Just the t-shirt left to do:

Done! Time for me to add a few of the other ones to the OP too. That's a great looking kit!

Hahahaha I've just done the same thing, it's so amusing and also disheartening to see these great designs posted up by our members and then every few days the club contact comes in to say some other random kid's design is leading the pack. And every time it was a new kid and every time the design was even worse than before!

DiamondGuy design received incredibly well by both seniors and juniors at the footy club. Think we ended up selling 175 this season which is massive numbers for an amateur football club!

A couple updates here.
Warsaw Devils jumper has finally arrived, looks great.

Norrtalje Dockers have sent over a jumper too so hoping that arrives fairly soon.



Gibbsy feel free to update the list

 

[Nickimus Rex]

While not really a comp that I was ever guaranteed or anything -

Local Club Logo Help

Met the brief - redesigned the bomber etc, reached out to the organiser and heard nothing so gave up.

Their facebook has the Essendon Bomber on their logo so they obviously got permission but decided not to tell anyone.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I've posted it in the Flames thread, but eventually a FJGD poster (our very own Freight Train) did get paid some money to design the Rockingham Flames uniforms in an enormous upgrade.
