It would be hard to completely parent that person as it genuinely seems as they do actually live in a tent.

Full reveal at 9am

Shhhhhh only members are supposed to know that

Signs you are getting old: annoyed they picked 3 dudes with long hair for a merchandising shoot. Get a haircut!

 

[Spirit Level]

Disappointing, I was hoping for a good hoodie with the green and red.

Wonder why they didn't do the purple haze

 

[BStaff17]

I assume the AFL has approved us wearing the old AFL logo on the strip when we play Geelong.

Streetwear collection coming later this week. May get it then

Wonder why they didn't do the purple haze

wonder if they’re going to do the original every 5 years for the ‘milestone’ years (25, 30 etc) and save the others for the intermediate years

How many more retros could we use from the 90s.

We have gone through most of them that ain't our current design.

Since we started doing it in 2019.

remaining ‘fresh’ options would essentially be the original haze jumper (purple jumper with white anchor), the old away kit (white jumper with purple anchor) and then maybe the old kits they wore when the AFL did league wide heritage rounds

That Sekem collar and the myriad sponsors everywhere really gets exposed on a design like this.

Kind of over the whole retro thing. they execute a few too many things just slightly wrong and makes it all feel a little cheap. and the whole 'I'm a zoomer and think the 90s looks like the 80s and also 2002' thing they've been doing for photoshoots shits me as well.

Bring back a good manufacturer, better sponsors, and go back to the anchor full time (purple haze with the woollen seagull-anchor) and I'd be happy.

 

[Grape Bear]

Sturty pretty level headed dude.

 

[doppo]

Yeah I don’t hate it, but a little underwhelmed I guess. Would have loved purple haze anchor - but I suppose they’re running out of options otherwise. For real esoteric value - loved when they used to train in pure green or pure red anchors.

They're doing something wrong if they're trying to keep people like you happy.

Yeah they were great, the shade of green the club used un in the late 90s/2000s adidas/Russell Athletic was really highlighted and was a crackin look.

I wouldn't mind seeing the club experiment with the anchor for Gather Round. their attempts with the chevron have been shockers. what relevance does black have to the club?

Nice personal attack. not sure what relevance it has.

The club also just appeals to numpties. most proper Freo fans from the 90s can't stand the administration or operation. it's bland and corporate but amateur and clueless in its build and outcome.

Don't know how you come to this conclusion.

Is it just new = bad?

Club is aligned on all levels, experiencing it's most profitable (and relevant) period off-field ever, and looks like they're about to translate that to on field as well.

It's a far cry from the back sheds and portable changerooms of old, when, checks notes we also didn't have any on-field success.

Think your crew need a book club and read "Who moved my cheese" because right now you sound very much like hem and haw.

So much MAGA nostalgia energy, it’s not funny.

I’m a Gen X immigrant blow in, so I certainly think I shouldn’t be the audience for club marketing and recruitment, but the 18-49 age group is the most pandered to by companies and media for a reason.

Oh… and people like us and the vast majority of fans who weren’t in Australia or weren’t even ALIVE in the golden age of naff that the OG are trying to glorify are NOT NUMPTIES.

Let’s be honest, they’re the ones not covering themselves in glory here.

Every fan has their own story and is just as valid as the next. We're all one tribe.

Who cares what relevance black has? You say they were shockers, but I reckon the jumpers looked awesome. And while wearing black wasn't necessary for us to avoid a clash, more teams should wear colours that have nothing to do with their club in order to fix clashes.

Green is maybe not a good jumper for Aussie Rules. There is a train of thought that it makes it harder to see your teammates at long distance (i.e. not relevant for rugby) due to a clash with the grass. Even if this can't be proven, there's no point risking it with a mostly green jumper.

I like how they slipped the derby trophy into the photoshoot
