So, we've now reached the off-season and things are getting boring. So let's spice it up with some good old discussion.
When Fremantle changed their jumper (and logo) in 2011, there were mixed emotions. Some, like me, thought it looked classy and that it was a breathe of fresh air and signalled a new era. Others didn't.
As time has gone on, my feelings have slightly changed. I miss the anchor. I miss the red and green. They were iconic, and now they're gone. I understand they still use red and green in their training jumpers, but I'd like to see it on the field more often.
What do you think, FJAGD?
1995-2010 design.
Pros:
Has an anchor, which looks great.
Makes use of green and red and the whole port and starboard thing on ships, so they actually mean something.
Cons:
A little cluttered.
Associated with bad times.
No decent clash jumper equivalent.
2011-present design
Pros:
Clean looking, modern looking.
Adds a certain intimidation factor.
Sort of heritage.
Cons:
A little bland.
The clash version is very bland (not to me, but to most)
There's no red or green.
Purple haze
Pros:
Has an anchor, which looks great.
Clean looking, modern looking.
Intimidation factor.
Cons:
No red or green.
A tiny bit bland.
