Cons
All white guernseys don't work unless you're using a traditional design.
err... Guernseys don't work unless you're using a traditional design**

The fact stands that a Grand Final could be played, even won in such an atrocity of a design, it's bad enough that they wear this in away Showdowns.

The crow-head is a bad rip off of a mediocre logo. (more a critique of the logo, but still)

Doesn't use yellow, a traditional club, and South Australian colour as the base of the guernsey, when that would be a suitable clash strip in its own right.

1/10 worst guernsey in the league.

Review for the Eagles away jumper is up on the blog (link is on the first page of this thread). I think it turned out ok, trick is just balancing any conflicting opinions. Out of all the scores provided, the average was 7.78 so I bumped it up to 8/10 just to round it out. Thanks to those who chipped in with their two cents.

If you guys are willing to go another round, jot down your thoughts regarding the jumper below (a couple things you like and a couple things you don't like about it), remembering to give it a score out of 10 as well.

1/10 for me.

The crows logo is incredibly ugly on it's own, let alone splashed across a white guernsey.

The logo becomes even worse when worn. Worst guernsey in the league for mine.

Our Reebok contract runs out this year, and if the rumours are true about Reebok getting out of the AFL, then hopefully we can get a new design and a new template.

Hoping for a similar design to the 2005 heritage jumper.
 
Pros:
It does it's job as a clash
Scott Thompson's 51 was in this jumper.

Cons:
Worst Birdhead jumper in the league and that's saying something
Stupid swirls all over the jumper that don't even line up
Ugly logo.
Side Panels that don't help the jumper

1.5/10 from me
 
Our pan of the Adelaide clash jumper is now up on the blog.

I'm currently working on Carlton and St. Kilda pieces. Does anybody want to write a review for one of the following jumpers?
Brisbane Lions Home
Collingwood Home
Essendon Home
Fremantle Home
Gold Coast Home
GWS Giants Home

It can be as brief as 150 words, but you can go up to 400 (roughly) if you're keen.

The collaborative method has been working well, and I'd imagine we'll do a few more like that (supposing we can get the same volume of input as the first two) but it's not the most efficient way.

Just need to churn out a few more reviews at the moment, so if anybody can help, that'd be great.

Brilliant summary - I hate the Crows clash strip and I hate the current logo - i even emailed the club the first time I saw the new cartoon crow logo to let them know of my disapproval. They replied and said they appreciated my feedback - They haven't done anything with it though...


I am sure there are plenty more Adelaide fans who hate the current logo and the clash strip as much as I do... Hopefully the club listens very soon -

Ripper tumblr!

The Crows review is spot on.

One of the most poorly rendered sports logos going around. It's like they traced the Baltomore Ravens NFL logo with a blunt t*rd.

Amazingly not the worst jumper ever worn by the Crows... their SANFL heritage shirt had more colours than a Magic Eye monstrosity.

Don't understand why every jumper nowadays needs basketball-style solid colour panels running from the armpit to hem. Totally breaks whatever flow this jumper had going for it.
 
man that eagles jumper is sweet. that must have been why i "liked" the eagles when i was a kid. blue and yellow are just sensational together.
