The following are the signatures created for the winning teams. By the recommendation of others, I asked Windflower to create a set of signatures for
both the LG and the AEF. He provided me with his work on Tuesday last week and I made some adjustments to it. The general layout and images were provided by Windflower. We overlooked the inclusion of "Season 7" in the original design so I had to find some space for that. In the end, I decided to rework the text completely and include the official NANWL text. I'm very happy with the design that Windflower created and he deserves a big thanks for spending time to assist me with this.

It is my understanding that in Seasons 1-3, signatures were only made for the first place team in League 1. The reason for this was that the regiments that win League 2 were promoted into League 1 in the following season as their prize. The problem with this is that the NW community is not a professional sports league where the same regiments are guaranteed to be participating in NANWL the following season. Many regiments that participate in one season did not exist by the time the next season came around. As a result, the composition of both leagues became unstable, especially after Season 4. As far as I can see from Seasons 1-3, the progression system has never functioned as originally intended. So, each league became self-contained tournaments in of themselves.
In Season 6, we made an effort to try to return to the previous progression model, but the aforementioned issue of long-term participation came up again. In Season 7, it just became a matter of trying to separate the regiments into two different groups to prevent a vast disparity in balance. Therefore, it is only fair that the winners of each league are rewarded with signatures. To exclude League 2's winner would be to ignore the contribution and efforts of the League 2 regiments in Season 7 of the NANWL.
