DYC Sig Comp: Round 1 submissions

[Oranje]

Liverpool vs. Chelsea, champions league semi final 2nd leg. Penalty shootout. 1st, 2nd and last penalty takers we're all Dutchmen. This gave me an idea. The theme for round one is:
<div align="center">
The Orange Revolution</div>

IN the 1970's, holland revolutionised football and helped shape the game into what it is today. Known as ‘Total Football’, this system brought the dutch to two consecutive world cup finals in ’74 and ’78. Since then, there have been many famous Dutchmen from the school of total football. Some of which are:

Johan Cruijff
Ruud Gullit
Frank Rijkaard
Macro van Basten
Dennis Bergkamp
Ruud van Nistelrooy

So, for round one, choose one of these famous Dutch strikers and capture ‘total football’. Also, notice the theme is not Famous Dutchmen playing for their league sides, so the judges do not want to see any league kits whatsoever.

The dimension of your sig must be 400x150 pixels.

Group A is:

Chopper vs. Hellfire

Group B is:

Flight vs. twofivefive

Group C:

12thman vs. retardx

These groups were randomly drawn (basically I put all your names in a hat).

If anyone has any problems with the theme, who you're up against or anything to do with round 1 only, post it in this thread

Finally, remember your sig is due by 9pm AEST on the 9th of May (12pm in London) in this thread.

Good luck everyone!

 

[twofivefive]

Nice topic. Good luck to everyone.

 

[The 12th Man]

Good luck glen...ur gonna need it

 

[twofivefive]

I know lol. Didn't Oranje say there was a bonus round where the losers play for a place in the semi-final or something like that?

Oranje, could you show us the format please?

OK, basically 3 of you from this round will go through to the semis. But seeing as we need 4, from the 3 'losers' the 2 who score the highest will go into a playoff for the last spot into the semis

 

[twofivefive]

Can't wait. Nice work on this, Oranje.

thanks buddy. I didnt think it wouldve come this far in the 1st place.

Also, if anyone wants to know more about total football and some of the players on the list, check out this link:

Netherlands national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

this will give you good background knowledge about the theme and the players in the list above.

Everyone knows who johan cruijff is...right? right?

thanks headcase, good thinking

 

[Flight643]

Just to ask Oranje.. how are we going to show Total Football in a sig?

 

[Oranje]

<div class="quote_poster">Flight643 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Just to ask Oranje.. how are we going to show Total Football in a sig?</div>

Its entirely up to you, something that symbolises it etc. I mean any of those players are symbolic of total football, especially johan cruijff

Also, there is a new judge: maxdaman

If anyone is having trouble with the theme, a sig about one of the players on the list is wat round 1 is about. "the orange revolution" is meant to force creativity from those competing, as total football itself was sumthing never seen in football during the 70's. basicallythe judges want sumthing not so typical

 

[Lennon 18]

Good luck everyone.

 

[Oranje]

Update:

everyone seems to be having problems with the theme for round 1, so ive added another player to the list:

Arjen Robben.

Now, i disagree with this since he has yet to prove his greatness, unlike the other players on the list but finding good pics of robben will not be difficult. remember the judges dont want to see pics of chelsea logos

thanks

 

[Flight643]

Its just finding decent pictures of the players is the problem, sometimes they are too small or too crowded.

yeah robbens inclusion should make it whole lot easier, but well probably see about 4 sigs of robben but

 

[Lennon 18]

What about adding these players

Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Edwin VDS
Van Bommell
Van Der Vaart
Edgar Davids
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink

[Flight643]

Its really up to you and the judges

 

[CK Clefton]

nice thinking oranje, I hope some one goes for a gullit sig, he is awesome.

 

[Hellfire]

ARRRGHHHH

I havent been around, really sorry. Now i find out i'm against Chopper?

All i can do currently, is pray to God that Chopper hasn't submitted a sig and get right to work!


Awh feck. Bad news. Laptop at school -.-

Help?

 

[twofivefive]

Chop was never going to submit one, so if you get one in and retardx doesn't submit one maybe you can go against The 12th Man.

 

[Hellfire]

shoooot


lmao., ima stick a orange background, with robben on it. no cutting WHATSOEVER>


like a 20second job, and hope i can get in to beat Chopper.

which means, the next sig is against retardx?
