Futbol as Football Series: TB FCS Royn

Futbol as Football Series: #TBFCSRoyn from the #Effodeildin of #FaroeIslands

A big Takk Fyri #THANKYOU  #TAKKFYRI to the folks who have visited the blog from the Faroe Islands!

This is my second club design from our friends from the North Atlantic and this club caught my attention due to the origin of the squad. It is a merger (2017) between three teams from #Suðuroy Island: #TBTvøroyri, #FCSuðuroy and #RoynHvalba. From the team's Wikipedia Page:

The name is too long to use, so the media started to use the word Suðuroyarliðið in stead, which means The team from Suðuroy and the supporters and the chairmen have agreed upon using the word Suðringar, which means People of Suðuroy.

It is not uncommon in the United States for communities or small High Schools, especially in rural communities in North & South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, etc., to "join forces" in order to fields a Grid Iron team. 

Examples: Mayville-Portland-Clifford-Galesburg (#NorthDakota), Clark Co/Watersprings (#Idaho), Grass Range-Winnette (#Montana), Lingle-Fort Laramie (#Wyoming)  I understand this happens quite often in Club Futbol around the world and looked like a great project to take on. 

I decided to see what history/wildlife I could use as a visual image for Suðuroyarliðið for the squad's livery. Also, the team's uniform outfitter, Hummel, played a big part of what I went with for the visual identity of the club. I used one of the nesting birds that calls the island home, the European Storm Petrel, as a mascot. I combined the Petrel and the flame from the clubs current crest as a logo. To top it all off I got to use the color Phthalo Green (#123524) in the squad's color palate.

I went with a curved shoulder stripe/yoke and a colored side panel for my mock ups. On the "Generic" mock up, I used a really unique stripe-to-knee loop. I used Petrels in place of the Hummel chevrons on the shoulders and the back of the helmet. When I saw the plain uniform it was missing something - a "texture". I went with the M84 Camo pattern used by the #DanishMilitary.  The main reason I'm using this for my uniform isn't necessarily in homage to the military but more for bird watching/hunting. How do you get close to a wild animal to observe & take pictures? Camouflage/Ghillie Suits/Bird blinds. 

Also to give the kits a more unique flavor. For my "Real World" concepts I went with #AlphaPerformance's V8 Jerseys and Elite pants.

Futbol as Football Series: PSPS Riau (PSPS Pekanbaru)

Futbol as Football Series: #PSPSPekanbaru / #PSPSRiau from the #Liga2 of #Indonesia.

Another big ole #THANKYOU for the folks from Indonesia who have visited the blog over the past few months.

While I was searching through the leagues for a team to possibly transpose from #Futbol team to #Football team, I came across the Wikipedia page from the Askar Bertuah (Lucky Warriors) and noticed their other nickname:

THE SUMATRAN TAPIR!

It was then ON like Donkey Kong! I immediately thought of the logo for the #ArkansasRazorbacks (one which i LOVE) and had to try to recreate the Hog into the Tapir. I haven't been able to draw a lot due to an injury I sustained (ahem - did to myself) to my hand back in August which has prevented me from drawing a lot. 

I didn't get a decent 1:1 recreation, yet I think I did an okay job.

#PSPS have had some nice kits over the years and I made a mix of an older jersey (which you can see at their facebook page) with their latest jumper from #CLCS. They have some neat designs on their home/away kits and I HAD to incorporate it into my mockups. Instead of having the yoke/stripe on the front of the jersey I swapped it to the back with a color patch on the back just like the Malaysian Tapir.  I also incorporated their Uniform Badge (with an American Football instead of a futbol).

This became a FUN jersey to create. For my Real World mock-up, I went with #SeigeSports who do the #USNFT (US National Football Team) U19,17,15 squads. I happened to come across a photo for the #USNFT U19 squad in preparation for the International Bowl (19s beat #TeamNordic, the 18-select lost to #UANLAutenticoTigres). Now, some of Siege's designs aren't my favorite, yet they have some pretty nice concepts/designs that do look wonderful! I went with their S3 template and I hope you enjoy.

Futbol as Football Series: Ansan Greener FC

Futbol as Football Series: #AnsanGreenerFC  from the #KLeagueChallenge of #SouthKorea.

Not only is this squad brand new to K League Challenge, they're brand new...

PERIOD!

First year squad, Ansan Greener Green Wolves, finished 9th out of 10 in Challegne and have a handsome kit created by #Kelme. 

I dig the Mountain adorned chest #Chevron and kept it for the chest symbol of my generic/Real World mock-ups. I also added it to the shoulders. I also reduced the team's crest for the uniform. I placed the Chevron in the background in the same vein as #AdelaideUniversity #BacktheBlack's chest V.

I used #GeelongSportsAuthority's template for their "Fire & Ice" kits and kept the pattern from the generic concept for the Real World design.

Futbol as Football Series: Gyeongnam FC

Futbol as Football Series: #GyeongnamFC  from the #KLeagueClassic of #SouthKorea.

This is a BIG HOWDY DO to the folks who visited the blog from South Korea!

We've had quite a few folks fly into the blog from the ROK and here is one of a couple of concepts that I've chosen to do as a thank you.

The Roses were recently promoted from #KLeagueChallenge (2nd on South Korea's Futbol pyramid) to K League Classic. They have a beautiful kit from #Hummel with a nice two-part #sash on their home and away kits. 

I thought about putting a sash on my Football concepts (See Vasco de Gama Patriots from #Brazil), yet I thought this was a chance to use their kits as inspiration to make something new. While in the process of doing so, I also took inspiration from the Hummel chevrons to make a unique pinstripe/pant stripe. 

This became a unique look that is part #TexasA&M/part #NewYorkYankees. 

I did this for both the generic and "Real World" mock-ups.

For my "Real World" mock-up, I didn't go with Alpha Performance like I did last time. They are capable of sublimation/screen printing, though I went with #Sportek and their template which they created for the #ZemunPirates which fit well with my "generic" design.
