News New Jumpers For 2018 - All Changes In OP

[Red Crow]

Welcome to the megathread for all things new in AFL uniforms and related merchandise for 2018! This will be the place to post any news, confirmations and whispers about new apparel for AFL clubs for next season, and will run right throughout the off-season.

We're going back to having the confirmed changes in the OP this year, so as they roll in I'll keep this updated. Feel free to tag me to remind me if there is something I haven't got around to updating yet.

Please lets keep discussion to actual confirmations, legitimate news items and credible leaks only. Remember that your any of your own design ideas don't belong in this thread, but are to go in here.

If you do come across some information, please make sure to post your sources with any confirmed releases, and clearly state any rumours or leaks.

Cheers, and enjoy!

Yes sir. I'll give it an update. Plus mods can just add stuff to it.

I would laugh but with North getting the big head, Adelaide almost getting the big head, we could be headed for a disastrous clash

Both of them also have abhorrent logos, our fan art looks classy, I can't see them pulling the same shit with that.

 

[Heardy_101]

Given it's an Alternate jumper and not away or clash, does that mean they're keeping their other white jumper as well?

 

[Klim]

What a time to be alive. This thread is always the best by far.

I don't believe so. This is replacing their white jumper.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

What's more important, pleasing the kids and selling more merchandise by placing cartoon animals on your jumper, or looking like a decent credible football club?

Cody_ I think Norf picked jumper no. 2 (the homer with the V on the front and the stripes on the back):

I have NFI why anyone would choose no. 1 or 2 over no. 3.

unless they rigged the poll........

 

[Klim]

unless they rigged the poll........

Quite obvious they did.

 

[tuckylives]

Do we include sponsor changes in this thread? If so, Richmond's new major sponsor NIB.

That is a blatant rip off of the brothers Rockhampton design done by Mowse from here..... typical norf.
STOP RIPPING OFF OTHERS WORK.

Simple mistake, don't get your knickers in a twist.

Don't get your twists in a knickers.

 

[Fizzler]

Don't get your twists in a knickers.

You're not you when you're hungry. Twist a knickers. Better?

 

[MKMatty]

Don't get your twists in a knickers.

Jokes on you, I don't wear knickers.

+1. Was about to say the exact same thing!

 

[justlookingaround]

Is the Gold Coast rebrand a substantiated rumor or just speculation?

 

[Chuckie357]

What's more important, pleasing the kids and selling more merchandise by placing cartoon animals on your jumper, or looking like a decent credible football club?

If they haven't realized by now that cutting off stripes or chevrons or specific guernsey elements to make sponsors stand out is extremely unprofessional then they never will
