News Geelong to unveil 2019 home guernsey vs Suns

[Sparkle]

Quoting from the Cats website:

"It’ll be a taste of things to come for the Cats on Saturday against the Suns at GMHBA Stadium.

The Cats for the first time will launch and wear their 2019 home guernsey in their final 2018 home and away game.

The guernsey’s changes include the addition of the watermarked “G” logo to the collar and a new cut that includes ergonomic seams and a new sport tech design that allows freedom of movement and reduction of underarm irritation.

Fans will be able to pre-purchase the guernsey on the day from the Cats Shop and online via shop.geelongcats.com.au"



The new 'sport tech' seems to cut into the cuff on the back, making a part-white, part-blue cuff. Numbers seem a little darker as well. Other than that, looks pretty good. I like the incorporation of the 'G', works well as our tertiary logo. Will wearing new guernseys at the end of the previous season become the norm? Not sure if this has been done before

This happens a lot in European football, never seen it happen in Australia before, probably because AFL home guernseys by-and-large don’t change much from season to season.

Looks like Nike's NBA cut on the back around the shoulders.

Hawthorn did it with their clash jumper a few years ago, used the next years clash jumper int he last game against the suns.

 

[lionbear]

If they win tomorrow and qualify for the finals, will it be worn in the finals seeing it is better technology?

Hopefully it look better on the day, but the back looks like they are wearing a tanktop and their navy bra straps are showing.

Hate it in the NBA. Not feeling it on the Cats' jumper either.

So it’s a 2018 geurnsey then.

That GWS G is fine

 

[Dylan8]

A pointless marketing exercise.

 

[magpienato]

Okay then

 

[Chuckie357]

The special material might be a bit too tight and not fit over certain players heads

Looks farrrrken terrible from behind.

 

[The Cheesecake]

I really like the idea of next year's jumper in the last round, but there's no point when the design stays the same. Noone in the crowd is gonna notice that tiny G.

 

[Willo_]

Blatant marketing grab to lure people into buying them now.. but that is the same for most new jumpers anyway I guess

 

[Prison bar Pete]

They could have promoted the heck out of it and sold them at this game without actually wearing the thing - naff

 

[The_torpedo]

Hate the back of the jumper but the collar isn't bad - it's like the star one from 2013

 

[TheBug]

At first I thought some of the players were folding the cuff in on the back.

 

[Red Crow]

Looks like Nike's NBA cut on the back around the shoulders.

Seeing it in action today I’m convinced someone at Cotton On designed it this way for this very reason.

It's a complete rip off and looks rubbish.

Hope they don't tear as easily at the seams as the first batch of NBA jerseys last year.

Wish the would get rid of the shitty Cat emblem on the jumper !!

More pics of the new jumper from this press release. I'm not sure why they persist with the G when it's the main identity of a rival club.

It's a good looking G. It is very much inspired by MLB cap logos but I like it. It is like Collingwood with the CFC logo on the back of their jumper, they are still distinct.

 

[TheBug]

I hope this template/style does not catch on. It's horrible, well the back is.

 

[Chuckie357]

The G looks like Gatorade

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Wow the G and the back of the jumper are actually terrible. Can they go back to GFC considering the financial crisis was ten years ago....

The G does look nice. But GWS have marketed their brand around the “G”. Geelong have just picked the G from the CURRENT logo, where the G IS the logo for GWS.
