2019 K League Kit Design Challenge

As we prepare for the 2019 K League season and Seongnam FC's return to the first division, we are kicking off our annual kit design competition! Just as we have in 2017 and 2018, we're hosting the competition on Design Football. After all entries have been submitted, voting will take place on Design Football, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to determine the very best of the newly designed kits. The winner will receive a full write up here on KLeagueUnited.com to explain their thought process behind the kit design and talk a little bit about their design background.

Competition Rules

1. The challenge will begin when 12 people are signed up. Those that wish to do more than one design may do so. Designers must mention they would like to do more than one design when signing up and they'll be randomly assigned a second team.
2. Each of the 12 designers will be randomly assigned a 2019 K League 1 team.
3. If more than 12 designers sign up, they will be assigned a 2019 K League 2 team.
4. The entrants will then be randomly drawn into four groups.
5. The designer with the most votes in the group will advance to the semi-finals and will be ranked 1st-4th based on total votes received.
6. 1st place will face off vs 4th place, and 2nd vs 3rd.
7. The semi-final winners will face off for one final vote and winner will be crowned.
