I don't mind Melbourne City FC's guernsey. I would have one if not for the fact that they'd sold out before the first game.

I think that Brisbane clash jumper looks good. The gold lion looks good as it is, wouldn't want to outline it.
...and you hate ours? I dont get that.
Yes ... because they look exactly the same.
wow I didnt pick that, you sure?

There are people who like democracy, but reject communism, I don't get it?
Both ours, and theirs look substantially better just by darkening the claw colours or the outline.
Something so simple, wonder if they tried it, but decided on the brighter option.
If I followed Brisbane, maybe I'd like it...who knows.
As a crows supporter though, I think the new bris one looks crap.

Let's argue about it until we changed each other's opinion ...
I photoshopped the Guernsey with our actual colours and it looks much better. The darker blue and richer yellow stands out more and looks classy. The colours as they are now are totally hideous. I put a side by side comparison on on pg20 of the thread if your interested. I just can't understand how they could have thought that was a good idea to go with bright blue.

Went down to the club today to take some photos of the new jumpers. As you can see, they are behind glass in a case so I couldn't take a photo of the back.
If this is the official player jumper (I think it is), then I think the side panels are more ridiculous than the clash jumper. They are totally unnecessary, look poor aesthetically and aren't represented of the official design of our club (Navy base with Red, gold and navy HOOPS). It's not bloody hard to have full hoops on a design, especially on one that doesn't have mesh panels like Reebok, Puma, Nike.

Agree 100% with that. You like it, that's your viewpoint, I disagree. You're not wrong, you stated you liked it, which I presume you do, it's impossible for you to be wrong unless you don't actually like it. However, there have most certainly been some posts that imply that the nay-Sayers are out in force and don't concern yourself with them. I don't, but if I was to post (not a response to you), "hey Fages, don't listen to the posters who like the design, they agree with almost everything you or the club do and it's a slow time of the year and they don't have anything else to be agreeable about." It's fair enough to call out posters who unreasonably attack posters genuine thoughts, but mocking an entire thought line, like one here has done is out of line. Especially considering the factors, off-season, with guernsey designs are always in play, so it's hardly a contributory factor. There has been a consistent 'miss' by the club for quite some time on this. Well, at least with those with the ability to voice their opinion.
Surely there's two paragraphs in that, but I can't be effed reviewing it. I don't like the design, but I'm a zero kid family with 2 bulldogs who purchased a 9 seat vw caravelle as their first ever brand new car. I don't have a single friend who thinks that makes sense.

Wow. Looking at that photo my first reaction was like. Much better in this photo than the picture on the email I saw. I have never liked any of our away jumpers apart from this one.

I actually thought that looked horrible on field, seriously ugly, worse than GWS' jumperWow. Looking at that photo my first reaction was like. Much better in this photo than the picture on the email I saw. I have never liked any of our away jumpers apart from this one.
This is nice side panels. Pity about the football jumper getting in the way of the side panels. I know they used to be hoops, but there is really no excuse for those red and gold bars limiting the side panel glory. Room for improvement. Needs more side panel.
Will do.

Hey guys, name's Luke, long time reading big footy but first time to actually post anything. So hi 
Anyway, was excited to read that there was a new clash guernsey the other day, only to have a fairly neutral response. It's actually slowly growing off me now, realising that it has no real connection with the crows at all, being something more suited to richmond. Have had an idea for a clash guernsey in my head for a while now, something that works off our most recognisable design, our home guersnsey, except sticking with the AFL's (interstate) rule on being predominantly white.
Anyway, quick do up on photoshop so a bit rough, but any thoughts?

I don't mind it.
I'll give you a like for the effort, but it's too much white I think.
That is very contradictory post there Alex.
You basically say he could then outline why he couldn't? Not to mention the fact that he would basically have been showing no confidence in a heap of staff with nothing more to go on than the early screams from a minority of the supporters.
He couldn't, it would have been financially inept, and poor leadership.
You cannot fight every fight head on like that in the corporate world, and Fagan will know this.
Learn from it - yes. Have tight reigns on the process next time it comes around - yes. Walk in and make a d!ck of yourself by trying to wield your power at your first opportunity - no, that would be amateur hour.

They wouldn't stop it, not couldn't. Massive difference.
Budgets are only things on paper. See many AFL clubs who lose money every year.
They could have stopped it if they knew ther jumper wasn't good enough. But they chose not to.
