News New Jumpers for 2015

[Mero]

BLK/Kooga have more incentive to so apparel for footy clubs because they're in the business of making footy jumpers.
All these other companies, Blades, Nike, adidas, Puma, Reebok, New Balance etc are all footwear companies, that make clothing as well.
And none of them are trying to break into the market of local apparel, they're only looking at the AFL clubs.
If you look at who makes the jumpers in the AFL lower divisions, none of those companies are registered as suppliers, yet BLK is.
Kombat, Cougar, Cooper and Graphpak are others, but they wouldn't have the resources of a BLK.
So the only on-selling the footwear companies get is the apparel they sell.
BLK on the other hand not only get that business, but the also improve their reputation with local sports who then get to wear the same jumpers as the AFL teams are wearing.
ISC is the only different player in the market, having come from seemingly nowhere to make the Australian cricket team's apparel 20 or so years ago, they now do only major sports, and the only ones who do so.
I would foresee ISC and BLK being the companies that do more and more AFL teams, with bigger clubs taking Collingwood's lead and forming partnerships with smaller manufacturers to make their own brands as the future of apparel sponsorship.

not happening

This comment is shattering

The non-cut off stripe doesn't work with Blades because their logo is off centre.

I occasionally work at a school that has some of their sports uniform made by BLK (maybe all of it even, I haven't seen much of it). I guess that goes to show how far reaching they are.

 

[lmach]

Are Blades guernseys still the same material? If they are, I'd be hoping they don't sign on if I were a North fan. The cut-off stripe is shit too.

 

[Groupie_]

Not sure if its the lighting or what, but the blue doesn't look dark enough IMO. Looks really faded.

Standard BLK material. Richmond black looks almost grey in sunlight

Joke

Can North fix up the Mazda logo to be smaller and in the jumper like it was in the early 2000's

Have a feeling Port will leave ISC going by the image below. Showed this to Greater Gattsby the other day.

Except when Eddie lets them wear the PB

Yah. Not sure why the PB has the logo but the BiB doesn't.

Honestly they look like Reebok (our former apparel manufacturer) retails which would explain why the collar logo was removed. However, they have Energy Australia logos shopped on. (EA only signed on this year so were never on a jumper made by Reebok) So if they took the effort to shop on the EA logos, why wouldn't they do that to ISC? And if they made the effort to shop EA onto the teal jumpers, then why not onto the PB as well?

Also interesting at the lack of Renault on the PB. Maybe Renault on the way out as well?
EDIT: It's a 2013 PB. VIP would have been on the front. Makes sense that it was shopped out if they are no longer sponsors.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Shouldn't the prison bars have a sponsor opposite the AFL logo, too?

Shopped 2014 logos on 2013.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

The guy to the left has a different coloured shirt on under the jumper and you can see it's the old Reebok collar.

Just using old images and EA is probably the easiest thing to shop on.

Yah. Edited my post above.
That guernsey is a replica of the one we wore in 2013 v Carlton:

VIP are no longer our sponsor, so it would make sense.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Shopped 2014 logos on 2013.

Close! But, no. Shopped 2014 logos on 2012 guernseys - but no shopped logos on 2013. Inconsistent.

I meant that

 

[Alberton_Magpie]

I think they are the K-mart guernseys

 

[Heardy_101]

Port should go BLK. Everyone else is Lol.

After the extra effort ISC put in to get all the Prison Bar jumpers done in time, I don't think Port should leave them. But hey that's my opinion.

June 2014
PA: "We won't be signing a new contract with you"
ISC: "OK"
September 2014:
PA:"We'll pay you to make these guersneys ASAP"
ISC: "OK"

Both are business transactions. Port or someone will be paying ISC heap$ to make the guernseys quickly, and ISC did it happily knowing they'd get a helluva lot of free good publicity.

 

[Hank93]

Surely those jumpers are reebok that they used in the previous pic?

Plus they didn't photoshop the ISC logos out of the PB jumper.

 

[HiReception]

It's really a formality given that we were already with KooGa, but the Bulldogs' Father's Day email confirmed that they're switching to BLK next year. (And if you look closely at Dahlhaus' shorts, you can see that we're also changing our logo to the one registered in 2012 that was posted here)

From what I have been told GWS will be the only team to leave ISC, not sure who to.

Can't give my sources though, sorry.

 

[Heardy_101]

Bulldogs clearly about 50 steps ahead of the other 17 teams in terms of home, clash and "alternate" kits. Same with Port, Freo, North and Collingwood.

Come on idiots, not that bloody hard!!

BLK, I've also been told that.

Love their three kits <3
Their red kit is purely for marketing though really. Worn vs Eagles and North to give it use.
If they just had blue and white they'd still be covered.

If a team made a fluro pink kit, they wouldn't clash with anyone, and wouldn't need a clash or alternate kit.
So long as they've got a kit that doesn't clash with anyone else, they don't need three.

So Port, Freo, North and Collingwood are also 50 steps ahead of the 17 other teams?
