Ever wanted to design your own football crest? Earlier this year we invited top artists from seven countries to take a fresh look at the culture and character of their nation and redesign their national crest. The results became our World Champions Collection, adding a splash of originality and humour to their national identity.

It’s this that’s got us thinking – what would people come up with if they were asked to design a new crest? With this in mind, we’ve created a great competition, where we’re asking you to design a personal crest using our favourite new toy, the Umbro Crest Designer.

Using our guide and combining the different elements available, you can construct any number of different crests that reflect your school, your workplace, your friends or your hometown. You can create a new England crest, a badge for your Sunday League team or just one that represents who you are – the choice is yours!

You’ll also be able to share your crests with the world via Facebook, vote for your favourites and show off your efforts, but that’s not all – it is a competition after all. We’re going to be checking out all the entries, and we’ll pick one winner who’ll get their crest design made up into a real shirt, Tailored By Umbro. Bringing your design to life, the shirt will be a one-off, never-to-be-repeated special edition.

So, how do you go about entering? Every crest that’s designed using the Umbro Crest Designer will be included in the competition, and you can enter as many times as you like. So, you can go for simple or complex. Anyone with no design experience can use the online templates to shape their designs, or if you see yourself as a bit of a design king you can download the toolbox and let your imagination run wild.

Upload a picture to include in your design, or just use the elements that we’ve created – it’s completely up to you. You can see some of the designs that people have come up with so far on a special Flickr feed here, or just head straight to the design studio. See if you can do better than any of our stellar efforts!
