Its the same as if i had gone 'red and white - that crest is a load of hickory'.

****e is 2 syllables. Majestically / hickory is 3 or 4.

Ah jaysus its gonna come down to the rhymes.

If you ignore the tically and go with tickly I see it scanning.

But anyway, if vasco are reliant on rhymes to get over the line it won't matter, was my point. Something will STOMP them in a later round anyway.

You started the banter about rhyme,
I just answered to pass the time.
Vote for Stompers, that's ok,
My favourite is long gone anyway.

Pleased to see the tie-breaks even if they don't go the way I want.
Proves the quality of the crests that have advanced.

This could be a final.

But that Juarez colour combo is glorious, and it's unique too. I can't vote against it.

1-0 to Juarez. Describes the combo and the uniqueness.

Vasco da Gama.

Because it's amazing.

And also, to annoy Sheridan who clearly has beef with them

I'm afraid ''amazing'' ain't gonna cut it. Spite vote won't either

Sawduck wrote: »

Vasco da Gama both are incredible and would make fantastic winners but I'll be loyal to my nom here

Backing your nomination is completely kosher. 1-1

Vasco da Gama

I love the ship, if people complain about graphics in a crest, this will not be one of them.
The use of a black and white crest with the red cross and yellow boat is striking.

The black on the crest:
In 2010, the away kit changed to black in honor of 1923's team, which gave up playing because they had black players, who were not allowed to play with white players at that time. This was one of the most important steps in the club's history, the fight against racism and discrimination.

A top answer. 2-1 to V de G

Cool colour scheme too. Vasco's is nice but a dubious history.

Colour scheme has been mentioned as a fave throughout. Accepted. 2-2

Ill go Juarez for this one. Its probably the most unusual and best colour combination in the tournament. The horse imparts speed and action in its still framed movement. The horses mane and tail coming out over the crest side accents is a nice touch and the little sun icon down the bottom is subtle but cool too.

This is next level. 3-2 to Juarez

FC Juarez - the horse is magnificent, but the best thing about the crest is how vibrant the colours are, which makes it really eye-catching. The little yellow star at the top is a nice contrasting flourish.

Again, phenomenal reasoning. 4-2 to Juarez

Vasco da Gama (BRA)

I get that the history shouldn't be venerated but that's not why we're here. Looks alone, it's a badass boat and a great crest

The colour scheme on the Juarez one is too jarring for me. Red and green should never be seen. One of the reasons I hate Christmas so much!

I totally accept negatives against the crest you don't choose. 4-3 to Juarez.


FC Juarez advances to semi final

Blushes!

Is it even possible to get a semi-finalist in normal time? Let's see!

1.FC Koln (GER)



VS

Gandzasar Kapan (ARM)

Necro

Polar bear poised on a football for the win

Baggly

Kapan for me - i loved this the minute i first saw it (and nom'd it).

Its clean and simple - has a deadly animals in it - and if im not mistaken, that key is the key of destiny - that bear is going places. He will save us all.

I love it - and although i dont think it will win overall, i think its the best of the two here. The blue and white outline on the crest with the laurels is pretty class as well.

Zaph

Gandzasar Kapan - a polar bear with a key in his mouth atop a football, what could be more majestic? Well certainly not a goat, that's for sure.

Electric Nitwit

Well Macker, no one can assume you of taking the lazy way out of tie breaks! Fair play, even if the wrong one got through

Except Necro's spite vote should have been allowed and encouraged!

quickbeam

I like both of these, but Koln, for the cheeky chappy kiddy.

Electric Nitwit

Both good crests so I went looking for how they sit on the shirts...



Vote Koln - it looks better on the shirt, the Kazan one looks a little cheap to me, I can imagine facing a 5-a-side team with a shıt pun in their name wearing that

normanoffside

FC Koln. The Goat is a symbol which represents the city and it strides over the Cityscape. The badge represents the place the team plays for which in my book is worth a few points..

Meanwhile there aren't even any polar bears in Armenia unless they are in the zoo.

gerrybbadd

Its Gandzasar Kapan for me. Polar bear with the key to victory in his mouth.

Whereas that goat looks like he's about to scuttle the crest. Naaaaah

The vote counted perfectly. It was in the tally. Just for tie breakers the reasons need to be a little more related to the crests.

Baggly

FYI - while the bear is in the teams colours, its a regular bear and not a polar bear.

Kapan are a mountain team and there are bears in the mountain.

So you're saying it's so badly drawn it's not even obvious what it is? :pac:

Baggly

Im saying some people dont know their bears.

eire4

Koln and the goat get the nod from me in this match up. The Koln crest just jumps out and looks better.

How dare Armenia not have the same GDP as Germany. 'Sake. What are they even doing.

I don't care if they pay their graphic designers terribly, they should still pick a good one. Preferably one who knows the difference between polar bears and mountain bears :pac:

Baggly

So do you know many monochrome goats EN?

Actually, since one butted me in the head when I was 6, I can only see in monochrome, so they all are

Touché

KathleenGrant

Gandzasar Kapan for me

Translated from Armenian, ‘Gandz-a-sar’ simply means ‘Treasure Mountain’, and the football team of the area are known as ‘The Bears’. These two details go some way to explaining the bear climbing a footballing mountain of sorts on the club badge.

Who said it was a polar bear? If colours don't matter for a green and red horse they hardly matter for a blue and white bear.

I love the mountain, the bear and the colours.
Like I said last night, I don't get the goat.
