The Ultimate Football Crest Tournament: Europe vs Rest of the World

normanoffside

Minsk, the bird is pure evil looking and that makes it stand out.
The Badge also looks more Soviet than it's Russian Counterpart which is a plus in my eyes.

Feck it ill go Torpedo. Its a unique design, there is good detailing; and that crow is a scumbag. He stole a fiver off me several years ago.

I wonder what "HØK" means? Is it meant to be the sound the crow makes?

Think it's Russian for hawk.

Minsk's old logo (2011-2019) is nearly even better again

Baggly

Id vote for the old one.

Not just nearly better. Definitely better.

The other name of the team is NFK Minsk.

Нфк is simply the letters NFK in Belarusian Cyrillic.

Well, in any Cyrillic script.

FK = Futbol Klub.

Sorry - a vote. I'm torn on these two - though I guess that should happen at the quarter-final stage.

The Torpedo crest is unique and is ideal to the club. Yet Minsk not only has a nasty-looking raven on the club, the club is called Ravens. And it was only formed in 2011.

So I can picture these guys looking out the window at a typically nasty Belarusian raven and getting the inspiration for the crest, and then deciding to go the whole hog and name the whole club after it. Edgar Allen Poe would be proud!

So Minsk, just about.

It's NFK, their previous name.

Minsk play in the Belarusian league which was possibly the only half-decent sports League on the planet to laugh in the face of the Corona Virus, before challenging it to a fight. The judges scored that
COVID 19 : Corvids 20

I will therefore pick the crows over the car, but I suspect I've missed the cutoff.

If it still counts, I'll go for the crow. It just looks badass, like it wants to .......



murder you (ta-bum, tish).

And I cant get Hillclimb Racing out of my head for the other

eire4

I go with the Minsk Hawk just like the smug grin the Hawk has on him.

Hill St Blue

I'll go for the crow too. I'm not a huge fan of the other one. I'd prefer it, if it had a more definitive border and perhaps another colour in there, I think.

Arghus

Torpedo, because it looks like the silhouette of some time travelling dandy from the early days of the motor car. And, to my eyes, he appears to be travelling backwards.

Omackeral

I had a controversial nap that had a lot of unforeseen extra time. Anyhow, I can reveal that the victors of the last battle and our fourth semi finalist are;

Krumkachy Minsk

I hope the semifinal draw is kind. A Juarez/Chiangmai final is what the neutrals want.

We are gonna have to make the choice eventually I suppose.

Omackeral

Semi final draw is coming up right now...

Omackeral

The Final Four. Perhaps fittingly, it's a fifty/fifty split between Europe and the Rest of the World. We have two beautiful crests from each ''conference'' ready to stake their claim. The draw God's have seen it that we will have a participant from each taking on one another in the final... but before then... let's see who drew who...

Omackeral

This match will have a time limit of 45 minutes, with no quota required. Basically, most votes wins. In the event of a draw, reasons will be used as a tie-breaker, so do try to think about your choice. If the teams still can't be split then, I will cast a deciding vote.

1.FC Koln (GER)



VS

FC Juarez (MEX)

Arghus

A tough decision, both two evenly matched crests.

I think the psychedelic equine from hell will have to get my vote. It's just undeniable galloping badassery.

Jaurez.

Skylinehead

Ok Demon Horse is cool, but no chance here.

Here's why.

Hennes.



A logo, personified (goatified?) on the pitch. Glorious. And look at the beard.



Majestic beast that he is.

He's even a da, in between being awesome.

https://fc.de/en/fc-info/news/detailpage/details/hennes-is-a-father/

Aside from Hennes, who features prominently riding the logo :pac:, there's the cathedral in the logo itself:



Very evil, and therefore very cool.

Vote Hennes, vote Koln.

Does Juarez have an actual demon horse? No. I rest my case.

quickbeam

Yeah the more I see it the more I like Koln (only one I've liked more was the antlers one). That goat has an attitude to him. Juarez certainly isn't bad by any means, but Koln just has a cool vibe to it.

Hill St Blue

Mmm...'tis getting tough. I'll go for Köln, and it's up to (and on) something goat.

I prefer the colouring... something about the electric red and green combo on the other one doesn't quite do it for me. Love the horse, but I'd prefer to see other colours used I think.

Necro

I vote for the randy goat of Koln.

Humping his way into the final

Wuff Wuff

Koln

Think it's a much nicer crest, I like how the goat is over the badge

Also had a good save with them on fifa one year

That goat will die one day. Probably soon.

The Juarez horse will live forever. In our hearts.

Its the better design. Better crest. Better concept. Better animal.

Vote in for Juarez.

Koln the Juarez one looks like a dodgy nightclub sign in a seedy city.

Koln is classy

Hence why he's Hennes IX. The concept lives on.

Your fictional horse doesn't even exist, bah.
