Just out of interest, with WCE changing apparel and home jumper, does this mean the navy home jumper was a Puma directive and not a club directive?

Back in 2015(?) when we met with the club about the RTW stuff, we were told the navy had to stay 'for the time being' e.g. there was a hint that it was on the cards it may go, but was more a corporate decision than Puma's I would imagine as they are quite capable of producing royal. The club knew our intent was to rid the navy, but we accepted it.

The rebrand and ditching navy and white altogether was a nice surprise none of us really saw coming save for some bigfooty conjecture.

Good to see the meme used outside of The Simpsons facebook group I'm in

That thought had occurred to me too. If you asked the club I'm certain the official line would be "Our choice, rebranding, getting back to our roots, blah-di-blah." But it does seem coincidental, doesn't it.

We will never know the truth.

Puma wouldn’t be directing shit. They’re the supplier, not the client.

Although it seems unlikely, could this collar be used on the guernsey? Since Canterbury like having a range of different collars for their kits.

That makes sense, because the stakeholders here are the merchandise manufacturers.
They're the ones making a certain number of Navy Blue t-shirts etc with the plans of putting West Coast logos on them.
They need to be advised well in advance that West Coast will no longer have Ochre or Navy as part of their colour palette.

Wasn't it Adidas who gave Collingwood the idea of swapping their Guernseys around?

You'd be surprised how much power manufacturers have.

I was always of that opinion but I have a feeling someone on here wrote a huge thesis to the contrary.

Lol yeah that was me. The official reasoning from Eddie was that the club was going back to its 'Machine' era guernsey of the late 20s that was apparently white stripes on black.

The other aspect to it was they were trying to avoid having to wear a Clash jumper.
North and Geelong's jumpers were mostly White, StKilda's was mostly Red at the time.
By changing it to the mostly Black jumper they were choosing a main colour only Essendon, Port & Richmond used.

if Adelaide go back to the cartoon bird on their clash jumper, they'll get a strongly worded email outlining my disgust that they will totally disregard

No mention of contract length.

I was digging through the AFC site code and found this by itself. Does this mean its the winner? Code url lists it as clashvote.

I hope clubs sell their playing shorts next year. Anyone know why so many didn't bother this year? I know the Hawks did, but that's all I can remember.

Drop this whole POS, stick to the Navy home and gold away.
