I must say I'd struggle to pick one of those if I was offered a free one.
Maybe the designers at Umbro chose the finalists and ignored the good ones so as to keep them in a job. Someone higher up could have seen the real quality ones and thought 'why are we paying these designers so much when we can get people to do it for a free t-shirt and bragging rights. Sack 'em'

BtW the OP's effort definitely deserved to be in the top 5 at least!
I'm guessing that you didn't stay within the red box had a lot to do with it as well.
On a similar note, my friend had to sort through hundreds of job applications every year. Well over half were binned without her even reading them as the applicants simply hadn't followed the instruction 'Black ink and capitals only'. Looks like you fell into the same trap ;-)
