Wasn't a direct return to Adidas though. They were with Fila in 2001-2002, and then Russell Athletic from 2003-2005.

Surely the UA jumpers are prototypes?

I like my ISC gear, still wear an ISC footy jumper to the football 50% of the time and also use my ISC polo shirts a fair bit, the collar in the 2013 to 2015 era was pretty ordinary but that is a design not quality issue.
As Cotton On's jumpers all have iron on logos I still use my ISC hoodies and refuse to update them.
If we went back to ISC I would be fine with it as well.
They are very thin, but apart from that I don’t have any issue with them. The retail ones are horrible though. I find the Eagles player issues pretty inoffensive really, apart from some small numbers in 2018 which seem to have been sorted

Are they the wetsuit type shiny material that gets really hot easily and you sweat bullets?
They’re definitely different material to the retail ones, even though both tags say 100% polyester. Not really wetsuit material though, thinner than that, sort of hard to explain, but they’re very thin and shiny. If you hold it up, you can see right through it almost

When Adelaide changed to BLK it was done as Puma had told both them and West Coast they were pulling out of AFL supply at end of existing contracts (2015 from memory) and they could move if they chose to- Adelaide had a bucket of cash thrown at them and signed with BLK whilst they continued to meet other suppliers in the event BLK fell over (oh the foresight)
West Coast stayed put and signed with ISC at end of contract
The next Puma CEO jumped back in to AFL and had already started work on Richmond when BLK fell flat and brought it forward to coincide with the Tigers climbing the mountain

Last time St Kilda changed voluntarily (from ISC to BLK) it was only a matter of weeks until BLK fell over...

Huh? ISC is following all of the AFL teams. Not all of the AFL teams with ISC are following them back though.
XBlades give you one good year, followed by trash for the next 3

The Saints stuff this year was diabolical. Plain black polo, plain black hoodie with two giant sponsor logos on the back, plain crimson singlet. Zero effort.

It's either a "Yes" answer, or anything else you say means "No".

As the group was only commisioned mid this year I would not expect to see an adjusted AFL logo till 2021.
Not going to spend $100,000 worth in 6 months.
Seriously hope its only slight changes as like I have said before, NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL are all built on decades of the same logo with only minor changes (Hardly noticable to the eye)

The current logo - since 2000 or whenever it was, i have always found cartoony and not befitting of the competition. The reason those North American logos have stood the test of time is that they're traditional, classy and not likely to date. A cartoon football with AFL written on it i'm not so certian says traditional.
I wouldn't hate if they kept the 90's AFL logo, but found a way to add a few touches here and there to not make it look completely dated.
No way they’d incorporate the Union Jack into a logo in today’s social climate
