Everything about this North jumper move is botched
Making the blue strip the home was a pointless selling out of their history and the silver stroke on the numbers looks like an after thought.
Now the numbers on their traditional strip have been changed to blue for no reason. That was something cool and uniquely north that's been thrown away for... uh... I'm sure there was a good reason.
And there's silver on those numbers too. Lol. It's on the logo so we must shoehorn it onto the playing kit!
This on top of the sideways move that was the logo change. If there was anything to change for North Melbourne's visual identity it was to move to a "bounding roo" based logo and the re-introduction of the bounding roo guenseys in some way.

But come on bro, they lost their home shorts identity and they really showed the AFL who's boss with the inverse!

All North had to do was add two more stripes at the side and maybe widen the stripes a bit. That'd make it a bluer jumper and strengthen their hand to get the shorts they wanted.
So simple, and instead they did something fare more complicated and far less appealing.

Two dark jumpers with a logo/monogram on the front? I sure hope not.
Don't mind this for the VFL though.
No idea where to put this but getting in reallll early.

Has the Herald Sun 'whisper' from this morning been mentioned in here? AFL logo could be on the way out for more sponsorship room

Stripes still don't touch the cuffs. That's the problem. The jumper looks way too white. Widen the stripes and the jumper instantly looks a lot darker and balanced, would probably give North more leeway for choosing their shorts.
Instead they flip them around and **** up their original jumper.
It must hurt to be a North fan.

I feel like this gets raised every couple of years or so. Some clubs (Eddie has been a vocal supporter) see it as a good way to obviously bring in more money for their club by being able to sell more sponsorship space. Not sure I can see the AFL giving up their own key branding position too easily though.

No it hasn't, but I don't see the AFL making way.
As much as they love money they also love themselves and personally, I think they know how much it would hurt the fans.
The game is "corporate enough" now to the average punter and they know that.
Silent Alarm has been saying that for quite some time.
I would think so
I second this

I can't see the AFL logo disappearing completely especially after they expanded it onto the numbers a few years back, what I can see is a sponsor logo wrapped around the top or bottom of the AFL logo like seen with NAB on the women's jumpers.
I would rather them sell spaces on the back of the shorts first before even contemplating a big move like that.

A sponsor wrapped on the AFL logo would be Toyota or an AFL sponsor, not a club sponsor, so that kind of defeats the purpose of giving clubs more advertising space.
Secondly I don't think they'd do it because it would mean there'd be teams with Toyota on one side and Jeep/Ford/Mazda on the other side, or other sponsor clashes.

Noticed today that crows home retail jumpers have the watermark on them
The eagles in the sanfl have sponsors on the back of their shorts and it looks pretty ordinary.I would rather them sell spaces on the back of the shorts first before even contemplating a big move like that.

To differentiate the player issued jumpers from the retails in the shops.
Adelaide now also uses watermarks on the new retails.
