Is there a thread for 2019 (man)?
Aside from manufacturer changes, we could have an interesting year. Doubt they'll do anything notable as they didn't play games of any sort for a while after, but GC17 and GWS were announced 10 years ago. The Suns will have a new identity apparently and fingers crossed the Giants trot out a decent clash strip for the first time ever, Lions probably a new clash jumper, Geelong might update theirs.
Hawthorn have a history of bringing out their next season jumper late in the current one, a bit like Premier League sides do. So we could see a newy this year.
Carlton's monogram also first appeared on a jumper 110 years ago next year. Sort of vague anniversary but if done well doubt we'd complain... could be a cool idea for a clash strip somehow?
Also could be a chance of Collingwood bringing the pin stripe as their home?
Freo were also confirmed 25 years ago next year but I doubt we'll do anything, especially in our second season at the new stadium. We also tend to be seen as a 1995 team which I agree with; think our colours were announced pretty late on and the first game has always been a tangible date as opposed to anything else.
I don't know if Mero has updated a few jumpers on his website but I hadn't seen this Saints one before. They wore it for one season, a hundred years ago this year. Could have been a pretty solid idea to base a clash around. The shoulder panels are like a century old look into current trends... but I think it works pretty well as a white jumper and it's definitely heritage feeling but is also not that different to the home. Could look cool.
Maybe someone could mock it up.
