Workshop 2015 AFL Jumper Ideas

[DoctorPav29]

I'm a sucker for the use of secondary colours are the main basis for clash jumpers, but you need to be just as careful with socks...here's Port in the "turquoise" socks of the '90s:

Looks better than I was expecting.

For those who haven't heard, West Coast is set to conduct a member vote to return the wings full-time in 2016. If the vote gets up, they're considering using wings design jumpers for training purposes for 2015.

Love that Port guernsey. Under-rated.

Love that Port guernsey. Under-rated.

Our away jumpers from then on just went straight downhill

Port can't wear a black and white prison bar

Why not a black with teal stripes?

 

[Timewaster]

I made this a long time ago. It symbolizes the beach patrols uniform.

Beautiful. Once they get properly established and don't feel the need to publicise their logo they should use this for sure.

Port can't wear a black and white prison bar

Why not a black with teal stripes?

There are a couple of schools of thought on this.

a) It doesn't look as good. The black and white contrast really makes it. Not to mention, the white number panel is as much a part of the design as the front, and that wouldn't work well in teal.
b) The prison bars are sacrosanct and bastardising them isn't a good idea.

If we'd continued to run that Planet Teal guernsey design comp that we ran for a few years culminating in the adoption of one of them as our home guernsey, i'd love to have seen some teal prison bars in action, just to see how they look.

What about black and very (very) light silver prison bars? Perhaps some teal on the collar?

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Hey El_Scorcho what about the blackout PB design of yours?

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'd have to see all of these things in real life before I could make a proper decision.

I do know that if it were up to me to choose between wearing our current home and switching to the PBs full time, we'd be in PBs.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

what about this?
or would it just be the same problem?

 

[The_Big_FUNK!!!]

Here's my idea of what a new port clash would look like.

What's the thought process behind it?

 

[The_Big_FUNK!!!]

What's the thought process behind it?

No idea, just sitting at the computer and just did it. I like the clash we have now, and love the PB, this one was just something different.

 

[aCunningPlan]

I was kinda thinking something based off the black diamond.

my first PA AFL jumper as a kid, dont know where it is now

I really hope this gets up!

On the other hand, is the clubs dumb enough to rig the votes?

After drawing this out for so long, you'd hope that they'll actually listen to the members. This decision has gone on for so long, that if they didnt, they will lose a considerable number of their fan base

 

[Heardy_101]

I know, but when you look at other clubs in regards to clash jumpers and vote rigging, it's hard not to ponder if another would do it just to keep a jumper to avoid a change.

Too right. I'll be jumping ship if this vote doesn't go through. Might have to start a chart so I can easily decide my fall to club. ^_^

That's the whole point of this poll. The people that would jump because of a jumper are the same people that would like the tri-panel - fair-weather supporters.

 

[hitthepost]

A few clash jumper ideas:

Adelaide white clash
Brisbane gold clash
Carlton clash - more traditional-looking (IMO) with heritage monogram
Gold Coast clash
Melbourne - red against blue teams, blue against black teams.
Richmond - fauxback of their original jumper (thanks Mero for the image of that one)
St Kilda
WCE Tri-panel converted into a clash
WCE white wings

Closest to a cartoon character or clown-vomit is the Paddle-Pop lion is still there, but in a much-less in-your-face way.

 

[Heardy_101]

Adelaide clash is such an obvious choice yet they still can't get it right

 

[hitthepost]

The other thing the AFL can't get right is that this isn't a clash:

Two stripes of yellow vs a whole yellow jumper.

 

[Heardy_101]

Adelaide's first game in 1991. Adelaide home/navy, Hawthorn brown shorts.

Was never a clash then!
