Puebla Fútbol Club

These kits have been created for a new weekly competition over at DesignFootball.com where each entrant is supplied with a template and given a team to create a kit for within the confines of that template using the elements available.

This week's team was Puebla of Mexico using a Kappa template, here is what I came up with.

AS Monaco FC

Sporting Clube de Braga

Thanks to OKT for the idea to produce a Braga kit.

Krasnodar (F.C.) (ФК Краснодар)

Major League Soccer (MLS)

've just found these in a different folder, they must be from around the time I made the Columbus Crew shirt.

FC Steaua București

Armenia (Հայաստան)

Kazakhstan (Қазақстан)

Same thing happened here, kind of.

GAIS (Göteborgs Atlet- och Idrottssällskap)

Arsenal

Dynamo Dresden

Sampdoria

I wanted to see if I could do something slightly different for Sampdoria as at the time of making this shirt everything Kappa had released looked pretty much like the same shirt for 6 years in a row.

It didn't get such a warm reception when I posted it on FSC though.

And Yet More Kappa...

I think I must have made kits for every Kappa team going at the time, the amount of people that would complain if this was really the case. So nothing to explain here just more different colours of the previous template. There are still a few more but I will post some more original stuff before I post the rest, give you a bit of a respite.

Some More Kappa...

Just noticed I had never posted these up so here you go, nothing special just a lot of different colour combinations from my 'Kappa' design for teams who played in Kappa at the time of making them.

Don't worry I do have more new designs to show off soon but I'll use these as a gap filler for now.

Kappa

Hello my fine blog viewing public, hope you're all well. I'm just settling down having a well earned frosty beer, and thought now be a good time to make another update.

So now I introduce you to my Kappa collection. I thought this time I should make a more detailed looking template rather than my first two Kappa kits I made, something more technical looking but like with my Nike and Adidas templates I wanted to make something which fit Kappa as a company.

As I am sure you know, Kappa like to recycle previous templates and modify them slightly to give a whole new effect, no? Well you should do to be reading something like this. Anyway, that's exactly what I have tried to do. The template in question again is from around the 2003/2005 period, a golden time for kits in my opinion, although I can only remember it being used with two teams, Auxerre and Real Betis, maybe it was used on Italy too but I'm unsure of that.

As with all Kappa kits I have tried to make the seems look like they're that inside out sort, you know what I mean right. I have also given the the kits an off center look, something which I am quite fond of looks wise, well for the most part I have. As you can see Botafogo is symetrical and so is Valencia apart from the shorts. When designing South American team kits I tend to make them a bit different from the original template as that also seems to be the norm when it comes to that.

Anyway, I have a whole stockpile of Kappa teams that I made so if you would like to see any, just post a request in the comments section and I'll post it right up for you.

Valencia CF

Here is one I am quite proud of, I can't saw it's entirely original but I have adapted it to my needs. I was largely inspired by the look of music posters for the way I have displayed this trying to use a human model to display the kit.

The kit itself is a rather simple one with not many design features, just like my previous Dortmund kit. This contains a plain V-neck collar with a bit of orange piping features, which also can be found on both the shorts and socks as orange has been found on many previous modern Valencia kits. One of which is one of my favourite shirts of all time, that being the one to the left.

As you can see I have given the shirt black sleeves also like my favourite Valencia shirt. I pretty much just took this and slapped a couple of different logos on it. I did try it with a Toyota logo too, to give it a 'retro' look, but then opted for a more modern looking Valencia Experience logo only to find out they are now going to be using Unibet as their main sponsor for the new season.

From the criticism I have received for this design, which was all mainly positive, was just that the socks let it down. Again I was attempting to bring back the essence of that 03/05 kit or whenever it is from again, which had the word 'Valencia' coming from the top of the sock and down the calf, so I just tried reversing it and hoping it would work.

Borussia Dortmund

Right well I suppose I better had get posting some kits and designs here or what's the point?

Here is one of the first 2D designs I created. It's nothing special to look at but I was just getting started, I created it first of all with a white colour and cuffs but due to a Dortmund fan disliking the idea I changed it to black. It's very simple, a round black collar with "die Schwarzgelben" (the yellow-blacks) wrote on the back of the collar and a star to signify their Bundesliga triumphs. Kappa text wrote on the shirt with a double black stripe behind the BVB logo, which was supposed to be a sort of a take on the 'go faster' design you see on cars.

I didn't make shorts or socks with this as like I said before it was just my first go and I wanted to try some stuff out, I am personally not happy with the shadowing on the kit, I had one comment saying the arm looks like a sweat patch although it is just meant to be the crease. However I do think using a gradient to seperate the layers by using slightly different colours worked well.
