In September, the NAFL is back for 2024!

For those new to the board, the National Australian Football League is a design competition where you will create professional football club based in Australia or NZ, from scratch. You'll create uniform and logo designs for this club and play off against other designers in a league style competition where winners are decided by public votes.

As per last season, this will be a fairly standard league format, with conferences if we get too many entries. I'd expect finals to be the top 8 finishers. Each designer will submit 1 team only.

Feel free to use this thread to announce a new or returning team. You can do whatever you want for your team provided it's Australia or NZ based, and all bids are automatically accepted. I'm happy with 2 teams in the same market, however try to avoid having the same nickname as another announced team. Returning teams will have preference if there are 2 teams with the same nickname.

You'll design 4 guernseys for this year's NAFL. A Home, Away, NAFLW and Heritage.

As per the last few seasons, you have a lot of freedom in terms of what you display.

All that’s required is that you display at least the front of the guernsey, and have the NAFL (or NAFLW) logo on the right chest. You may include as much of the rest of the uniform as you’d like. The NAFL logos may be re-coloured to suit your design. All other logo placements are entirely up to you.

Both logos can have the stroke outline removed if it better suits your design.

There is no bidding, your bid is automatically accepted provided you post it in this thread and don't use the same nickname as someone else's NAFL entry. I will run the competition with whoever enters, and however many entrants that may be, with a slight change of format if we get too many entries.

Entries should be submitted to me via PM in the form of a URL link from an image hosting site like imgur or flickr. DO NOT simply attach the images to your PM, because bigfooty stores them in a way that makes them impossible to re-use for putting up rounds so I have to manually upload the images for everyone who does that. I won't accept entries that aren't in the form of an imgur or flickr (or similar) link. I post this every year and every year people fail to do this. Please get it right.

I've posted this one a long way out so everyone has plenty of time to work on their entry. If you're keen, i'd suggest working on it now and not posting in this thread that you ran out of time come early September. This is another thing that happens every single season. I'll accept entries right now if you like, and then you can update them as we get closer to the due date if you choose.

Entries are due by midnight on Sunday the 1st of September 2024

potentially could be in, just depends on if i find much motivation. haven't really designed anything for a while now.

Me neither until the graphic above, but there is no better way to stretch your sports design legs than with an NAFL entry!

A big bump, just over a month to go until NAFL entries are due! Get involved in Bigfooty's premier design competition. Create your own footy club from scratch and take them to premiership glory!
you already have my stuff from last season, use that again up the rams

You finished last or second to last last year didn't you? You don't think it would be a good idea to have another crack? I'm not so sure people would vote for a design they've already seen.
 
I can enter them if you like but it's definitely worth reworking them if you have time. You've probably learned a lot in the last 12 months.
ngl, been busy, have not learn't too much burnt out atm as well, this is one of the best ideas I've ever produced will be hard to top it enter it this season, and hopefully by the next comp ill have something new

learning a new editing software, with a template to hopefully get ready for my next big folio, which will be sweet
 
If you'd like, and if El_Scorcho approves, you can send me a design/design ideas and I can put it on a HD template for you for the comp. I'm only offering because you've been a very active member of FJGD for the past year or so
don't worry these were done on corel with one of the best templates i have ever used, i was thinking maybe improving the backdrop if i was going to make any changes
 
With a new job and trying to get my head into everything with that I thought I needed some motivation to get onto this, or at least the push, so with that here is some motivation for me, and well something to listen to for all of you.
