News New Jumpers for 2023

[magpienato]

new pies pre-match top is very nice.

It's nice, better in concept than the 'Neo-Swoop'

but my question is why not just use the design from Nike's first training guernsey which, in my opinion, is the best and most innovative thing Nike has produced for this club. Could honestly be an alternate strip it's that good.

Was most likely his own guernsey

I caught that bit of the show, it was actually a number 6, the others were questioning why it didn't even have the right number given JHF wears 18 like Kane did, anyway apparently Kane decided to do this last minute and Gus Monfries leant him the Guernsey.

I feel like if they had gone with the Teal bars they would have eventually 'modernized' it around the 2010's in some way as our timeline, perceiving it to be a dated design. And like many have said the novelty of the bars would wear thin if they were to wear it as a home full-time and I suspect the same would've happened with the teal bars.

Alright. What you said was so wildly stupid and bizarre that I didn't think it deserved a response in text.

I couldn't even begin to understand why you'd think the thought that you did, let alone type it out for people to read.

Well clearly enough people resonated with the original post that it was worthy of a reply that attempted to understand the point and wasn't just trying to cash in quick reaction points?

It makes sense too, it's fine to disagree that that's the way they would've gone about it, but there's plenty of precedent with it - Collingwood going to black base to "modernise" the design, North just a few years back and not paying off.

If you didn't think it dignified a response then just don't respond at all, otherwise it just comes off as immature which I know isn't you because your contributions to this discussion up to that point have been of high-quality

I don’t reckon the teal bars would’ve become dated over time. There’s some shades of teal that we’ve used that’d look awful alongside black (namely the blue leaning shade ISC gave us for a bit) and it certainly wouldn’t have been as good as the OG bars but it’d look nice. The key reason why I think the change to the double vee never happens in this time line is simply because the teal is so much less of an issue on a design that was already being worn. The SBS jumper was so much a product of its time, more so than any other design introduced to the league in the 90s that it had to go in order for Port to have what is in my opinion one of the best brands as a whole in the AFL.

 

[jdeezy]

For what it's worth, I actually think that comment and the thinking around it have some elements of truth behind it.

If Port had gone into the AFL with something closer to the traditional bars, whether we're talking about a teal yoke on top of the bars (think our first logo), black/teal bars (we often suggested), silver/white bars (there's an old drawing suggesting this could be our guernsey), I feel like there probably would've been an attempt to modernize it slightly at some point. Maybe dropping the number panel, changing the thickness of the bars, whatever. I reckon most clubs have done stuff like that over time. Maybe like clubs like the Bulldogs or North, we would've by now moved back to the more well known set up.

But I think we'd still be in something that was definitely bars related. The main reason for the SBS > Chevrons was the perception that the SBS was a bit too nineties and not really traditional, you wouldn't have those issues in a world where we kept the bars all the time. And so I can't see why we would change things drastically. I'm pretty confident we wouldn't. There seems to be a bit of a perception that Port chop and change guernseys all the time, but we really don't, not once we settled on the GOAT design anyway.

One thing is for sure, in whatever timeline we would still have a multitude of terrible clash guernseys either way.

I’m not even being sarcastic—this is one of the best clash/alt guernseys I’ve ever seen. Many will say it’s way too dated and corny early noughties, but I feel like this aesthetic is lowkey cool again and has a weird kind of new appreciation. Waiting for Port to bring it back one day even though I know that’s very unlikely. It’s just so uniquely sick.

I think I'm alone in hating the oversized crest. Looks like a novelty piece. Would hate for it to be permanent like many people call for.

It’s normal these days to do everything you can to not get it right.

I draw the comparison with Carlton’s jumper. The more crude older style CFC monogram looks meaner than the more refined modern iteration. Same here with the Saints imo

I don't see that large thing and think the jumper looks meaner. It just looks sloppy to me with how much it crosses over to the white section and makes the jumper look unbalanced.
