Yeah, I just didn't like the numbers being so low. Irks me for some reason.
Really?

It's not a smooth jumper like Collingwood's.
Our's is awkwardly cluttered with so many gaps it's ridiculous.
I'll send a pic of what's acceptable and what's not in the next few days.

Wish they would put names at the top of jumpers. Yeah, I know it's sacrilege, but it makes it harder to tell the names of the opposition without them. They already do it for almost every pre-game warm up top for some reason...
Plus think of the marketing money it would make!
Oh, speaking of warm up tops...
They really want to push that odd crow background...

2015 was the best our kit has looked in years, imo.

You can't read a thing on the tele and players move too fast. And it makes the numbers smaller so it makes it harder to identify them that way. It's just too cramped to have names.

GPS pockets made some names unreadable anyway.

Interesting given the initial 3-year deal expired on October 31st (end of AFL club's financial year).
No indication of renewal as of yet. Maybe Hawthorn are stalling on the Audi trigger in favour of a dual 2016- sponsorship announcement.

Well yes, but they've yet to be added to our corporate sponsorship page.
The lack of news RE any iiNet renewal (which is unlikely given TPG's acquisition) or a new principal partner for 2016- beyond has me thinking any update to next season's page will include all new partners at once.

Nah. Only starting watching several games per weekend again this year. Could name most players in each team's best 22 each week. Really ugly and is the final frontier of american invasion into footy.
American? What about English. Pretty sure they have names on the back of their jerseys too.
As for naming every teams 22, not everyone can or wants to. I enjoy watching games, but I certainly can't name an entire squad. Sometimes it's easier to have the names there for quick convenience.

Not if you can't make them out anyway.
When they experimented it last year, almost every camera angle was impossible to make out player names.

I've been waiting 6 months when it first got confirmed to me.
Can't wait to see it for real.

In before this gets deleted. So no one knows that shit got deleted.
I've seen 1984. I know what's coming.

Are you the T-800 Model 101 sent back to kill Sarah Connor?
(those who have seen the Terminator films will get the 1984 reference). Lol

That's fair.
Personally, the shoulder panels are a non-issue, as they're a template thing and not really impacting much, the cut off-stripe should have been rectified last year, if it was going to be at all within the next few years, the collar will be fine if it remains the same or goes all blue, and as for Mazda, getting rid of the black box for all blue would be much better, but, they're not going to revert their logo to one from almost 10 years ago for us.
Anyway, I can't wait to see what Canterbury dish up for next season.
Also, while I'm talking about North, people tend to forget that the Canterbury template DOES have a collar that goes around to the back. If you don't believe me, look at Boomers 400th game jumper.

Just print stripes on the top-back of the guernseys for continuity. How hard is that?

Thanks for spelling out the joke, buddy.

I think I prefer the "acceptable" to the best case scenario. The Mazda logo on the front looks the best with the cut off stripe. Everything else is fine either way.

Try reading the book Nineteen Eighty Four
International rules tops same as last years I assume? I do wish they played in real, sleeveless/long sleeved footy jumpers.
