My designs: Werder Bremen fantasy football kit.


   Today , i decided to share an older design of mine, a fantasy kit i made for the german team Werder Bremen. Werder's  traditional home kits  are white shirts with green shorts and white socks , as you can see from this 1969 picture.



   This colour succession of white/green/white , to my knowledge , unique amongst the big clubs of Europe, it's been largely ignored by kit manufacturers ever since the  mid to late 90's. Mostly green shirts have been used as home jerseys, the traditional white ones being used as away kits or sometimes discarded all together.

My designs: New Zealand fantasy Rugby kits.





Hello !

    Like i promised in a previous post , my next design design is one of the most iconic uniform in the world of sport, the all-black kit of New Zealand's national rugby team.
    I used a v-neck template , because there aren't many v-neck rugby jerseys and i wanted this kit to be original. Design wise i kept it simple , specially on the home kit, wich is bassicly a simple all-black kit. The only design element is the maori traditional pattern on the left side of the shirt.
    The away kit keeps the tradition of a white shirt with black shorts and socks.  To give it a more  rugby feeling , i added those horizontal black stripes.
    In my opinion these are simple , but classy deisgns , just like we're used to see the "All- Blacks" wearing.
    Click the images to see all the details of this design.

My designs : Dinamo Bucuresti, Romania





    Hello everyone !


  My first post on this blog  is dedicated to my favourite football team and home town club , Dinamo Bucuresti.
  Our nickname is "The Red Dogs" and our traditional colours are red and white. Even though teams in Romania don't have standard traditional kits , going mainly for a specific colour scheme, Dinamo mostly played in all-red kits as their primary uniforms and all-white ones as their secondary , on ocasion changing that order or combining the two. I chose to break away from that tradition for my fantasy designs.
  On the last two decades or so , Dinamo's kits were produced by some famous  manufacturers like Diadora, Lotto , Joma and , from 2006 until the present , Nike. Because we're not a big name on the european scene , we've mostly got  their basic templates at the time on our kits , resulting in some pretty boring looking unis.  Design wise things were looking bad as well , especially since Nike , a brand i think can be very lazy at times in this particular departament  , took over. Mainly simple red or white jerseys , with little or no design elements on them. Because of that , sometimes kits from different manufacturers were looking very similar to each other.
