Futbol as Football Series: #ASAïnM'lila from the #LigueProfessionelle2 of #Algeria
Another thank you from a visitor to our site from Algeria.
I chose l'ASAM (#ASAM) because of their cooooooool #Scorpion badge! Most of the other squads in both Ligue1 and Ligue2 didn't catch my attention as much as the Scorpions did. Their first strip is pretty cool, but their SECOND strip with gradient checker pattern is sweeeeet as!
This was deciding factor #2 in choosing this squad.
While doing so, especially with them having a Scorpion as their "mascot" and both stripes and checkers for designs, I knew I had to do at least try to go in a unusual direction.
I knew I didn't want to copy the #StuttgartScorpions or follow paths which I have done for stripes and checkers.
Soooooo... I mixed stripes and checkers together. I did use a circle behind a scorpion for the helmet with the Circle being off center.
For my "Generic Concept", I set up my "Real World Concept" with the stripe & checker concept on front and back. I did put the team's name in Arabic on the inside collar for the "Generic" and wasn't able to do it on the "Real World". The pant/helmet stripes are different because I polished what I created first. I also kept the #TeamNameOnBack just like the squad does in real life.
I went with Healy Sportswear for the "Real World Concept" using their Anbock Jersey and Hornets Pant templates. I also chose Healy because they do great work with sublimation.
This is going to be either a HIT or a tragic MISS. I hope you enjoy!

I used EvcenFah's graphic for my design. You can find it here.
Futbol as Football Series: #ClwbPêlDroedLlanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Football Club from the #WelshAllianceLeagueDivision2 from #Wales
You're probably wondering why I chose this club.
Can you figure it out?
Can ya?
If you guessed the name of the club - DING DING DING DING!! The club with the second longest name in the world!
I'm still trying to find pictures for #TaumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahuFC which is claimed to be the Football Club with the longest name in the world. (Per FourFourTwo).
If you have pictures of #TaumataFC, feel free to hook me up!
#CPDLlanfairpwll has some nice looking togs from #TeejacSports, especially their GREY jumpers! That asymmetrical chest stripe is prime! The Rovers (I'm gonna call them the Rovers as that was their first name) also have a nice main strip with Black and white stripes and a good looking kit that is white and baby blue. I also simplified their badge for a better look on a helmet.
I decided to use the asymmetrical stripe like the neck/yoke stripes from the #TexasTechRedRaiders uniforms with it continuing through the sleeves and onto the back. I also created a front/back panel where there is a sublimated vertical stripe on all the uniforms for a nod to the Black and White uniforms.
The "Generic Template" look okay. Where this concept, to me, come to life. I used #GeelongSportsAuthority's template for Newcastle for my "Real World Template" concept.
This is where this concept comes to LIFE! The way the front/back panels are set make this concept what it is. I kept everything fairly similar between the two templates and I hope you enjoy it!
I tried to not just "Cut and Paste" the jersey from their futbol kits. It works for quite a few concepts. This one wouldn't be right if I did that.

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: #OhodClub from the #SaudiProfessionalLeague in #SaudiArabia
Here's another thank you to our guests from Saudi Arabia who have visited the blog.
I decided upon the Sun Club from Medina (according to kora.com - or the One according to sportksa.net) after finding their away kits for the 2017 season.
And...They...Are...GLORIOUS!!
I designed my concepts based on the squad's away kits and this was a BLAST to do! I've been wanting to do another uniform that would use a LOT of sublimation and oooooooooooo.
Getting the gradient the way I wanted to with Paint.NET was a bit trickier than I expected. Overall, I think, it turned out fairly well.
While checking out American Football squads from around the world, I came across some uniforms from the Serbian League with an #STX symbol on the front. Come to find out the Serbian company, #SPORTEX, supplies most of the squads in the SAAF and they do a pretty good job.
Seeing what they have done, via sublimation, for the #Kragujavec #WildBoars, they became my go to company for the Ohod Club. I used Sportex's template for the Wild Boars and the #Mladenovac #Forestlanders. (I would have used the company who supplies the #HOFJokers, but I don't know the name of the company)
I haven't made a brown colored helmet yet, and here was my chance! I based the design off of the US #NavalAcademy's helmet, the #Curitiba #BrownSpiders (from Brazil). They almost look the same as the Brown Spiders, and to differentiate the two I incorporated the mountains from Ohod's crest. I also used mountains for designs on the teams' shoulders.

Futbol as Football Series: #XSKTCầnThơ from the #VLeague1 of #Vietnam
A tip of the hat from a guest who swung by the blog from Vietnam!
Checking out V. League's crests, I noticed The #GreenBoys' crest and at first thought it was a whale.
Upon further notice: It is a dragon!
And the dragon is reflective of Can Tho's City Seal.
It's a cool looking symbol (like Liepaja's and Olimpia Ljubljana's dragon symbols) and looks awesome on a helmet! I used the structure from the crest as a chest outline and also something similar to the chest circle from the #ACMEPackers throwback uniforms. (WHICH THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DITCHED!!!!)
It was a good conversion from kit (produced by #KeepDri) to uniform! I transferred the shoulder stripes/yoke (which aren't my favorite) from their current jumper to both the Generic and the Real World kits. What sent me toward using 2K5 Athletics as the "Real World" kit was seeing the Starnberg Argonauts who have a roundel/shield on top of a gradient colored jersey. I thought - hey, they have the chops to try something like this and I think it would look pretty good!

Futbol (Rugby) as Football Series: #SouthlandStags from the #Mitre10Cup #ChampionshipDivision of #NewZealand
#Rugby is also called Football. SO this makes this an acceptable entry in this series, right?
Ah, who cares!!
It's my blog and if I can do a Gaelic Football squad then I can do a Rugby squad!
We're heading to the Southern South Island for our next squad as I do my best to convert the Southland Stags, from Invercargill, into a #Gridiron squad.
I have to admit that their 2016 #CCC (Canterbury of New Zealand) kit with sublimated Stag in the woods is a humdinger of a jumper!
Also, their 2013 (-ish) jersey was replete with #NorthwesternStripes which I thought would be sublime for their "Generic" set. I experimented with Number placement, badge placement, chest stripes and shoulder stripes while using their stylized "S" as their helmet sticker. I also added a "Southland" wordmark across the front.
For my "Real World" concepts I went with a company out of Germany called #TNKD (https://www.tanked.de). They design some nice, sublimated uniforms for squads in the Grid Iron leagues of Germany, Austria, etc. I decided to go with their TNKD 5 template (one used for the Bad Kreuznach Thunderbirds) and incorporated on their purple jerseys the 2016 sublimation from their CCC tops. I used the skyline for the Southern Alps for their white tops to make a nice contrast highlighting the natural beauty of New Zealand.

Futbol as Football Series: #KeralaBlasters from the #IndianSuperLeague
This is my long, overdue #ThankYou to the folks from #India who have visited the blog.
Love this team's badge! I worked it around so the Elephant is holding a Pigskin instead of a Futbol. Plus, with the way the squad has their elephant on the side of their jumper, this felt like the right time to get all sorts of experimental!
And, boy, DID I!
I used #experimental stomach stripes on the "Generic" template going with a whopperjawed/old school/Old Timbo-Rex (from Brazil) look to their uniforms. I incorporated the #ElephantTusk into the shoulder striping and decided to use a Paladin Rugby (see North Harbour (NZ)) style neckline to round out the look.
The team uses #Admiral for their kits and I thought that a good corollary would be to use Kukri for the "Real World" template. I kept with the main "experimental" theme and chose to mesh Kukri's Helsinki and Holloway along with the "side elephant" to come out with this wild look!
