News New Jumpers for 2021

[Rubber Arm]

the numbers are probably that low so they can stick on a sponsor there in the future

 

[Nickimus Rex]

Lions new reversible training kit. Dont mind but a bit going in in the collar/stitching department. Numbers very very low

Anyone else becoming more and more impressed with classic?

The first should be their clash, and the second pre-season Fitzroy tribute

100% the first should be their clash. So simple, so perfect. I’d have white collar and cuffs too

I really hope they wear that for their VFL side

Didn't even think of that but it makes so much sense to have their reserve side as a faux Fitzroy (recognising that Fitzroy also plays in other competitions today).

Anyone know what the go is with this logo on Sydney’s training jumper? Swans x Nike swoosh?

Swans Acadamy logo
Even more questions since the senior boys are wearing it

Looks like an old ISC template and with the sports tape over the right hand side and his player number written on it, I wonder if it's old ISC gear with the ISC logo taped up as Nike haven't got all the new gear up there yet

Not that there was a lot of doubt, but Ford isn’t leaving geelong’s jumpers anytime soon.

Ford Australia and the Geelong Football Club Make History: The World’s Longest Running Sporting Sponsorship Punts for its Centenary

Ahead of the 2021 AFLW and AFL season, Ford Australia and the Geelong Football Club have announced the next chapter of what is believed to be the longest sporting sponsorship in the world, with a historic signing today that will take the partnership to 100 years by 2025.

Ford Australia President and CEO Andrew Birkic and Geelong Football Club CEO Brian Cook signed the contract at the GMHBA Stadium, securing the deal for a further five years.

First signed in 1925, Ford and the Cats are believed to have the longest-running partnership in sporting history. This milestone demonstrates the long-lasting bond between the two Victoria-based organisations, and Ford’s ongoing commitment to Geelong, with its global research and development hub in Norlane, Geelong, the Ford YouYangs Proving Ground, and strong roots embedded across the community.

“If there’s one thing footy and Ford have in common, it’s the dedication and passion of their fans right throughout our histories,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Motor Company, Australia and New Zealand.

“To put it into historical terms, Ford first signed on when we were making Model T and we’re still here with the Club as our Australian team works on advanced technology and engineers vehicles of the future. We’ve gone through nine Geelong Premierships, 18 Grand Finals, and 52 finals series together,” Birkic adds.

Following the upheaval of 2020, which saw the relocation of the AFL competition season and Ford Australia transfer most its team to work from home, resilience and mateship is yet another theme the Cats and Ford have in common.

“There is a lot of uncertainty in the world, but one thing we can all count on is the ongoing successful partnership between the Geelong Football Club and Ford,” Geelong Football Club CEO Brian Cook said.

“As the club’s sole major sponsor, we are thankful for the support that Ford has given us over the past 95 years. We believe this is the most enduring partnership in sport, and we see this partnership surpassing the century,” says Brian.

A significant moment for Ford Australia, the milestone has made its way to Ford’s Michigan headquarters, with Executive Chairman Bill Ford sending his well wishes Down Under in a letter to the Club.

“Community and commitment are important values that guide us at Ford, and our 95 year partnership with the Geelong Football Club is testament to that commitment. Geelong has always been a very important place for Ford, with many of our 2,500 Australian designers, engineers and specialists calling it home, and our extensive proving ground and engineering facilities in the region.”

“I am thrilled to see what’s next with the Geelong Football Club, and look forward to continuing to build on our strong partnership. Go Cats!”

Today’s announcement, held at the Cats’ home ground, GMHBA Stadium, saw the official commemorative signing of the contract to take the sponsorship through to 100 years.

Flanked by Geelong superstars Joel Selwood, Patrick Dangerfield, Meghan McDonald and Becky Webster, the signing was shared by Ford’s own showstoppers, the all-new Puma SUV and all-new Escape.

Ford’s long-standing commitment to the Geelong community is not just with its home club, but also the many retired and current employees from the region, many of whom are employed at Ford’s Research & Development Centre in Geelong and its Proving Ground in the YouYangs.

As part of Ford’s ongoing investment into Australian innovation and STEAM education, Ford Australia is also a close partner of Deakin University Waurn Ponds campus, funding in part the Ford Australia Women in STEAM Scholarship.

Good spot. Nice touch by the Lions.

Ford and Geelong should never split.

Lions new reversible training kit. Dont mind but a bit going in in the collar/stitching department. Numbers very very low

These should be great but they're completely ruined by the stitching and super low numbers.

Interesting to see different number fonts on multiple training jumpers though. Maybe the AFL number font won't be standardised anymore.

Some of the photos I've seen of Collingwood's trainings they're still wearing ISC for some of the practice matches. I guess there hasn't been enough Nike training guernseys sent over yet.

 

[Bjo187]

In addition to the number fonts, watching some of these old replays from the 90s early 2000s the shorts were a lot cooler then too. They actually added to the guernseys with a decent side panel on the shorts.

Brisbane bears one on the other side too, have a look below the lion

Don't get me started on the change in 2008

That one looks a bit shit due to the lion from the other side showing through. But great idea, terrible execution.

 

[Freight Train]

That one looks a bit sh*t due to the lion from the other side showing through. But great idea, terrible execution.

Ehh, just a reversible training jumper. Especially for a reversible footy jumper, it’s kind of inevitable. Not really made to look good on game day.

Brisbane Lions Should play one Preseason Game at Brunswick St. Oval next Year.

You aren't familiar with the condition of Brunswick St Oval these days are you?

Would need a significant amount of money spent on it before it's even fit for a state league game let alone AFL standard...
