After Panathinaikos and Olympiacos follows A.E.K. Athens, another important Greek club. This first version of home kit is based on design of the kit used in the firs years of the club's existance besides the horizontal stripes on socks.
A version more similar to the kits used this days.
An all yellow home kit suitable for games against teams wearing black on kits.
The away kit is all black with yellow stripes on the sleeves and the sides of the short.
The third kit is similar with the away one, in two shades of grey colour.

Panathinaikos Athens fantasy kits

Full name: P.A.E. Panathinaikos
City: Athens
League: Super League Greece
Stadium: Olympic Stadium Athens
Fouded: 1908
Shirt sponsor: COSMOTE/OTE
Kit manufacturer: adidas

20 times champion of Greece, 16 times winner of the Greek Cup and 4 times of the Greek Super Cup is the list of the Honours for Panathinaikos. Last year they celebrated 100 years of existance. For them I made two sets of kits, one for domestic competitions and another for European Cup. The design is based on the template I made for Ajax, the front orizontal panel was chenged into three stripes (darker green for domestic kits and white for the international). The traditional combination (how is presented on Uefa official site) is green shirt, white short and green socks although they play very often in all green.
This variant is used more often then the previous one.
Another variant with white socks.
The away kit is opposite to the home kit, white shirt, green short and white socks.
An all white away kit is used often.
The third kit is all black with green collar and trims.
The European kits are almost the same as the domestic one besides the three white stripes on shirt and the Uefa logos on the sleeves.
A second variant for the home kit, all green.
Another variant of the home European kit with white short and socks.
For the away kit I combined the white shirt and socks with the black short from the third kit.

The third kit for international games is a mix between the home European and the third domestic kit. I made green turnovers for socks only for this version.

AFC Ajax fantasy kits

Full name: Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax
City: Amsterdam
League: Eredivisie
Stadium: Amsterdam Arena
Fouded: 1900
Shirt sponsor: AEGON
Kit manufacturer: adidas

Ajax is one of the most successful club of the world. Their kits are white with red vertical band on the shirt, and it is little to change about it. I choose a simple design not alterating the tradition of the kit, and inserting very subtile the three stripes of the adidas. Last few years Ajax used two kind of kits, with adidas three stripes for international games and without stripes for domestic league games or viceversa. My design is something between.
The version of home kit with black socks was worn as home kit until the late sixties, and few years ago was worn again.
The away kit is all black, used from begining as change kit. I kept the red trims for the black kit, only change the collar into black. For the away and third kit used as watermark for the shirt the three x instead of the Amsterdam crest.
The third kit is light blue and blue with white stripes. This kit is useful for games against PSV, Sparta, Feyenoord, and generaly for red-white-black colour teams.

Middlesborough Futsal Contest (kits 8, 9 and 10)

For the next three design I created a feature consisting three errea logos and put that on the arms, short and back of the socks. The shirts fabric (besides sleeves) has a watermark with errea logo all over it.
The 8th kit is all blue with red trims and V neck and red errea shaped lines on the sides.
The 9th kit has a little agressive combination with red arms and red short.
A softer version (10th) only with red arms and red turnovers for socks.

Poli Timisoara

Full name: CS Fotbal Club Timişoara (Poli)
City: Timişoara
League: Liga I
Stadium: Dan Păltinişanu
Fouded: 2002 (1921)
Shirt sponsor: BkP
Kit manufacturer: lotto

Finally made the kits for Poli (as we called) team from the city where I spent almost 7 years of my life and team wich I support. Usually Poli play in purple and white colours, but after a controversy about the ownership of the club and record (history) last year Poli played in yellow and black kits and white as change colour. I made the home kit purple shirt, white short and purple socks. This is a tribute kit for this year participation in Europa League.
I watch their games since I was little kid, but I can't determined wich is the standard home kit. They play almost in every combination at home or away. Therefore I made four variants for home and away kits, combining the purple and white.
The away kit is opposite to the home kit. This combination was used often as home kit.
All white was used also as home kit, aspecially last year when Poli was not allowed to use purple colour.
The third kit is yellow and black with little white (current clubs colour).

Middlesborough Futsal Contest (kit 7)

Restart the work for this contest and came with the 7th design. Changed the colour shade and used a simple design, based on association of three errea logos (used instead of stripes on short, back of the socks and below arms. The red parts are made from different fabric (perforated for good ventilation).

This is the team that win the argentinian league 33 times. Their traditional kit is white shirt with red diagonal band, black short and white socks. For River's kit I made an atypical design with the three stripes as a continuesion of the diagonal band. The three stripes on the short follows the shirt's design. The socks I left simple only with red turnovers.
A very often used version of the home kit, with white short.
The away kit is opposite to the home one, with black shirt and socks, white short. The red parts from the home kit can be found here, the only change is the red V neck and the trims.
An all black away version.
Following the advices from FSC site where I posted initialy as red shirt with black band, I made a different third kit, red shirt with three black vertical stripes, red short and red socks.
