Sports Polo Shirt Design

I’m launching a quick contest to create a modern, trendy polo shirt for our sports team. The brief is intentionally open so you can let your creativity run, but a few elements are non-negotiable:

• Overall vibe: energetic and on-trend rather than classic. Think sleek shapes, fresh typography or bold graphic accents that would stand out on the field and in team photos.
• Colour direction: bright, punchy tones are essential. Feel free to experiment with gradients, colour-blocking or unexpected pairings, as long as the result is eye-catching and athletic.
• Placement: give equal thought to both front and back; subtle sleeve or collar details are welcome if they reinforce the concept.

Deliverables (please include all):
1. Print-ready vector artwork (AI or EPS) with all fonts outlined.
2. High-resolution mock-ups on a polo shirt template (front, back, 45-degree view).
3. A brief note (100 words max) explaining your concept and colour choices.

I’ll be judging entries on originality, coherence with the modern sports aesthetic, clarity of the artwork at actual size, and how well the colours pop. Looking forward to seeing your boldest ideas!
