Exactly. Someone who gets it.
To put things into perspective, Adelaide came up with their logo and colours in 150 days. You guys had how long exactly??

The problem with ours is the colours we have chosen..
They're similar to Adelaide and Brisbane and those clubs have been around for ages.
The best thing GWS was went a colour noone else had. they're open to so many possibilities in their design.
With the end of the season coming soon. It was said by Jimmy Bartel, former Geelong Premiership Player and current Executive with Blades, that they will look at the Suns uniform then because they had little time when they took over as the apparel manufacturer for the Suns earlier this year after their last manufacturer went belly up. It sounded like some changes were going to be made.
My idea is to associate the Gold Coast Suns with Surf Life Saving. Surf Life Saving is associated with fitness and fun especially on the Gold Coast. Using the colours of the Surf Life Savers would link the two. The two other football codes that have come to the Gold Coast have used blue and yellow as their colours . These colours have been unsuccessful when associated with the Gold Coast.
Also going with Red and Yellow would distance themselves from the colours of Adelaide and Brisbane.

I made a thread about changing the Gold Coast jumper and logo on their board last year.

There's a fair bit of stuff there.

They need to bring back long sleeve guernseys for sale, perfect for winter!

I have a hunch that they will go with black somewhere in their colour scheme, but whether it'll be used in a big way or not is another thing.

F**KING yes.
Only thing I'd change is to not bother with the roundel around the logo - it's just about perfect by itself, maybe just put Gold Coast Suns underneath in a Gotham or Lemon/Milk style font.

That white alt looks very Swansea, nice.

The Suns would look like a real footy club with these amazing guernseys

Really liking the design, shows that going with a simple logo on the front can work as a footy jumper, but you've just gotta get that logo right which GCS haven't done. The Only thing I'd like to see is some of the black worked into the white guernsey. Red as a third guernsey works well as a throwback too, not they've done enough in red to really warrant it a throwback.

Gold Coast is RED, Yellow, (Blue). Adelaide is NAVY, Red, Yellow. Saying Adelaide and GC have similar colours is like saying NM and WB do, or Geelong and Carlton. The amount of each one and the design they're used in means they're completely different.
However Brisbane being maroon and GC being red isn't ideal. Being called GOLD Coast I was expecting a gold-dominated kit.

yep
sometimes the obvious is too hard to see
gold would make absolute sense and allow for a more sophisticated look than yellow

Gold or yellow - either makes more sense than a red-dominated jumper.

I don't agree with dulling the colours for a club based on the Gold Coast called the Suns, but that logo is easily the best Suns concept logo I've seen.
The deeper red is fine but I'd be pairing it with a more vibrant yellow. The tie in with surf lifesaving is important.

I love this design. I'd like to see it with the official AFL logo and normal sponsors, red as the home with black shorts (Manchester United style)

I tried it on my Macs word processor.
surprisingly, I love the red with the black shorts
it looks manly compared to the all red

I dunno about all this adding of back to GC's kits. They've chosen 'Suns' as their moniker, black is like the opposite of what I associate with the sun. I'd be going for white over black.
