Discussion Finding your 'whale'

[Feraligatr]

Not a jumper whale, but my most wanted piece of Richmond merchandise ever. This exact 90s headband. If anyone can help me out with getting one of these, you have no idea how much I will love you.

I had/have one of those! Will have a look for it next time I'm up at my folks house!

Found a new whale.

In my opinion, perfection.

I've got the 2007 prison bars, signed by the 22 that played on the day though.

 

[Adz2332]

Oh nice! how did you get the sigs?

 

[BILC]

No idea as I'm not the first owner.

I assume it was signed on the day.

Oh ok damn that looks great!

The lion in general is growing on me (what is wrong with me Everton). Obviously I think the design is shit, but there is something about it, and it's growing on me, much like the GC wave, which makes me want to buy one (perhaps one from that very game that is up for auction on the Brisbane site right now)

I'm with ya, Essee Cross

I actually like Brisbane's Vic jumper...

 

[Sam_23]

In my opinion it is a very good logo, very bold, new but still got that classic sort of touch and is much better then the Fitzroy lion, the jumper doesn't do it justice.

 

[Adz2332]

Has anyone actually EVER seen any of these going around?
Better yet anyone got one of these?

A Troy Chaplin match worn planet teal jumper sold on the bay a couple of months ago for a touch over $200 I think.

...Which Planet Teal one?

Well, it looks more realistic and modern.

But I hate Brisbane having the bloody "lion head" for a logo. Just use the lion on the guernseys or something like that.

The one with just the lightning bolt.

On its own its not a bad logo, but the head just looks like its placed onto the body and not actually a part of it, which is why I think its the right choice to just use the head for their main logo.

Compare the lion to this:

Now does it look "placed" onto the body? Looks fine to me.

Now does it look "placed" onto the body? Looks fine to me.

It still doesn't look right to me because the mane/head is large while the face is quite small. The face being on a 90 degree angle also looks odd to me.
