Workshop GWS Guernsey Designs

[Mr Eagle]

What about the Brumbies? Navy Blue, Gold and White?

Variation on a theme. And they're not strictly an ACT rep team so they're more likely to get creative with the colours (hell, the Raiders are green!).

Kerr4PM I was under the impression that the Guernsey will also be announced on Monday night?

Yep but the competition will be to design an alternate jumper, as chances are what they reveal is gonna be a crock of shit

the brumbies also represent Southern NSW

Have kept a really close eye on the GWS Name/Jumper issue. Although it is still a few hours from being official, I am disappointed about:

1. Greater Western Sydney as the official name - it sounds like a street directory, and it's too bloody long. Fingers crossed they change it to simply "Western Sydney". Why on earth have "Greater" before it?

2. Giants - WTF? Did anybody actually vote for it? It sounds WAY too basketball and American. It's not worse than "Suns", but it definitely isn't any better.

One of the best aspects of this game is that a bloke the size of John Platten can be every bit as good at the game as an Aaron Sandilands. Giants is just not right. It describes a physical aspect, and does NOT capture the spirit of a team or region. EPIC FAIL IMO.

West Sydney Rebels, West Sydney Wolves, West Sydney Warriors, West Sydney Stallions...I'd have gone with WS Rebels, or WS Stallions (if the AFL wanted a graphic design angle) but I'm not an overpaid image consultant who apparently knows better.

3. The Jumper - I'm okay with the colours of charcoal/black and orange (with white or whatever) but what is with the big ugly G? It's effing woeful and it means NOTHING...

I am hopeful that we have been deliberately mis-informed by GWS and Crazy Vossy's Mentor, Crazy Sheedy, pulls out SOMETHING....

And, because this is a footy jumper forum, I can't just throw crap and not put alternatives forward...this took about 20 minutes - simple, distinctive jumpers...

^ The designs themselves aren't too bad, but I can't see a team who are looking to entice a lot of non-Christians in a non-Anglo area wearing a cross on their jumper, a clear sign of Christianity. Plus it looks like a sideways Scandinavian cross.

Under 4 hours until we see the jumper and colours! cant wait.

Unless we've all been stooged, the pics posted today ARE the jumper and colours.

I would love it if we've been given the iSnack 2.0 treatment, but I don't think the AFL is clever enough to orchestrate it.

But you just never know...

The one on the left isn't great but it's not bad either. The one on the right is too plain and too much like GC's one. I don't know how I feel about their logo, I feel like I'm missing something clever about it because it's just... a misshaped G.

 

[Spire]

As far as I can see, there are no gradients; I like it already.

The man speaks sense!

It is plain but I would take the big G over GC's pathetic Sun logo any day of the week.

Methinks it's the Parramatta River cutting in to the Sydney coastline. With them at the west of it.

Very Brisbane Bears.

Design wise, they're quite good for a 'modern' design. Nice and simple at least, and the logo's not terrible.
That charcoal one is essentially the unholy union of the Bears and Port though.

Yeah I can see it!

The orange part is like the teal on the old home jumper, and the white offset G is similarly placed to the SBS stripes (but on the opposite side). If they track like Port did with their jumper they will look like this in 2025!

I wonder what the ACT jumper will look like (or if one of those IS the ACT jumper)?

 

[LeeARM]

I just got an email from the club that mentions the 2 jumpers will go to a vote to decide which one gets worn.
I hope it's the one with the white G.
Also here it says they'll have a pale blue away jumper. It could work.
