Why not just wear the home jumper?

Why the push back against throwing in some other jumpers?

Have a look around the world at some of the biggest sporting franchises and what they do.

Is the red kit still getting used? Not in the player model pics, but looks as if it’s in the locker in the video (or is that meant to be the ressies jumper?)

I like the design of the jumper, but it's not a clash jumper.

If we don't actually care about clashes we should wear our home jumper as much as possible. The big Vic clubs fight to use their home jumper and ignore the clash rule as much as possible for a reason.

Having a few other options instead, sure. The gather round option worked quite well last year. As does the indigenous one. Use them sparingly.

I know it's not a new design but....

It's giving me confidence that when the new logo comes in, they won't do anything stupid. Someone there has an idea of what looks good.

Yeah the penny has dropped. Use the hoops and popular retro designs. They’ll resurrect the first away jumper next.

Why?

I'm completely fine with having a home guernsey and an away guernsey. Especially when it's schmick like this one.

Looks to me that this is the 'red' clash, with an entirely red back, and gather round will be the blue.

I think so, just curious why they would have left the red hoops jumper in the promo?


Can clearly see on the left the red hoops jumper in the locker.

Is that our SANFL jumper?

 

[Gtowncrow]

I get what they are doing but if the AFL were fair dinkum they wouldn't allow that as our clash. It's very similar to our main jumper in color

"Remember my point of the year. AFL be like my bi*** till I say we even".

 

[Gtowncrow]

That's true but its pretty hard to watch matches on TV when you can't tell the teams apart. I'd prefer a clash that makes it easy to watch the team

100%!!!

Ultimately, its about sales. I dont mind the club changing the look, recycling old looks in the away jumpers / clash. Its a good way to raise some coin.

There is jumper idea i would love to see us use again.

Love that clash jumper.


A somewhat timeless design.



Clash, who cares.

If they brought this one back it would sell out quicker than the gather round guernsey did.

They did it, son of a bitch they did it!

That's gorgeous!!

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Maybe another small sign we finally have people in charge of the club that get it.

I do t remember that many bad clashes in 2009, but maybe I don’t remember them

Our home guernsey is our identity and has been since the start. In a world where clashes don't exist or matter, I don't get the point of changing our identity when we play away (aside from marketing dollars of course)

It is all about marketing.

How is this jumper not our identity?

Yes! Loved this one.
But without red collar and sleeves.

I've never been a fan of this one.

Seems too much try hard (faux) heritage. Also, the reason I am not a massive fan of the AFC monogram.



Our club was born in the 1990s.

That is our club's heritage.


Something I think the 2024 clash jumper and heritage round jumpers capture quite well. Throwback to the 90s preaseason jumper.

90s enough without being neon happy pants.....

The club embracing our traditional logo which is actually a crow makes me feel a lot better that the club finally understands its identity.

We come back up the ladder wearing actual Adelaide Crows garb and I'll just pretend the last 15 or so years didn't happen.

You're not a fan of it because they beat your treasured Port Adelaide football club in it
