Futbol as Football Series: #FCVaduz from the #SwissChallengeLeague from #Liechtenstein
I want to do at least one team from each of the #Principalities of Europe. I've done Luxembourg, I've done a squad from Gibraltar (yeah, I know they are a territory of England, but they're tiny and I'm lumping them into this list) and I will do one from Andorra, San Marino, and maybe transform AS Monaco into a squad.
Now, why Vaduz?
Their badge. Their Badge. Their Badge!
It was MEANT TO BE ON A FOOTBALL HELMET!!!
Dear me, I love it.
Since the The #PrincelyClub is an Adidas team and their kits from last year are pretty cool (theirs from this year are clean and simple, yet I like the sublimated hoops and think they'd been an easy transfer... maybe because I'm #lazy) and they look like they were made for the new #CFL's football jersey template.
Not much to say... It's pretty straightforward and I hope these #Gridiron concepts don't disappoint and properly represents the Pride of Liechtenstein!

Futbol as Football Series: CS #EMELEC from Serie A of #Ecuador.
I was watching ESPN Deportes (or maybe UniVision Deportes) and I saw Boca Juniors from Argentina playing a team in all silver in the CONMEBOL Champions League. The team in all Silver was making Boca Juniors' night longer than what they wanted.
As the game went into PK's...then EXTRA PK's - you could feel the tension building and then Boca broke the team in Silver you could feel the joy for the home Juniors...
Then the heartbreak for the team in Silver.
That team which looked well on the pitch and nicely outfitted by #ADIDAS was CS EMELEC!
Go over to their WIKIPEDIA page to see the interesting history of the team.
Since I saw the American Football uniform of the Vasco de Gama Patriots from Brazil, I am even more convinced that you can have a sash on a Grid Iron Jersey and still be sharp.
So for my "Generic" and "Real World" designs, I stayed fairly consistent. Only difference are the collars on the Real World Collar.
I used a base ADIDAS CFL jersey template with Side Panel pant. The colors I went with for #ElBombillo are Cobalt 0056B3 - Platinum - E5E4E2 - Oxford Blue 002147 - Electric Crimson ff003f (a color close to their First Kit Goalkeeper kit).
Futbol as Football Series: FC Sheriff Tiraspol from the Moldovan Divizia Națională.
First off, I just want to say I am not trying to make a Dallas Cowboys uniform in Pittsburgh Steelers colors. Yeah, I'm a Cowboys fan and yes you can add in your standard Cowboys smirk here -- I'm okay with that.
I chose to make this concept after receiving some guests from Moldova and because of their crest - a wild west sheriff's badge! It is so simple and straight forward that I was able to reduced it to just the background five points for the helmet sticker.
Sheriff Tiraspol is on the top end of the ladder in Moldova's National Division and has caused a ruckus in years past within the Eurpoa Cup. I'm sure if you are apart of the opposition and see the Gold and Black on the pitch you know you'll be in for a dogfight!
Or a Showdown at the Tiraspol Saloon or whatever wild west cliche you can think of ;).
I chose Sheriff's 2014/15 home uniform to base my American/Canadian Football concepts on because of the yoke and sleeve pattern. For my "Generic template" I based my design on the Montreal Alouettes' yoke and sleeve cap design. I didn't include a stripe around the shoulder like the Als and the NY Jets for my final products.
Sheriff is an Adidas squad and for my inspiration I decided to pattern my "Real World" template on a league that has recently changed to the Three-Stripes: The CFL. I chose a "Real World" template similar to designs worn by Calgary, Saskatchewan and the BC Lions. I used a three stripe design similar to the multiple-line style of the Hamilton Ti-Cats (and maybe just a little tip-of-the-cap to Adidas) for the pant stripe and around the neck.
