News New Jumpers for 2023

[Fizzler]

Me wearing my Essendon jumper so the police don’t pull me over for not wearing a seatbelt.
Straight sash is more anatomically correct but it doesn’t feel like proper Essendon jumper. And the part the seatbelt buckles into doesn’t come up that high, as opposed to the last one they wore which just had the one part of the seatbelt which has to cross to whole body to reach the slot.
Yes I’m nitpicking the seatbelt on a footy jumper that’s for a good cause, work is slow today.

At least this one is buckled and doesn’t look like a penis.

There's a joke somewhere about 'strapping yourselves in for a car crash of a game'

That collar looks like a worse version of our the old ISC collar. I'm wondering if another manufacturer made them or if they're a preview of what Under Armour will be making next year.

Could it be ISC?

I remember the original buckle up jumper. They had one up on ebay for ages and when I went to buy it it was sold.

I want Richmond to bring back their "Drink, Drive; Bloody Idiot." Sponsorship.

I think there’s room for red and green in Freo’s colour palette but probably not on the home jumper. The purple and white identity is very strong IMO. You don’t need to use all colours all the time.

Purple chevrons home
Green base for away
Red base for clash/extra sales

The chevrons look great but you could weave the anchor into one of the alternates for something different.

A Green based chevron guernsey would give me 2012 Canberra Raiders vibes

 

[LeeARM]

Could it be ISC?

It wouldn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure they made our VFLW jumpers this season and we already have a relationship with them so if we needed some jumpers quickly made up they would be a likely option.

 

[GreyFiveNine]

Could it be ISC?

Very much could be. Under Armours hem tags are stitched or heatpressed on. The hem tag on this guernsey is printed, as ISC does.

 

[LeeARM]

Here's the 2019 jumper for comparison. The colours of the Amart logo look very similar too.

I originally thought Nike came up with the design until I found about Ian Kidd. I wonder if Cunningham has any early concept designs.

I had an online call with Brian last night.
He is, as you might imagine, an absolute legend.

He went through their process, which was to deliberately have something modern at the front, and the Port Adelaide traditional back, to signify the past.
The brief Ian Kidd was given was to come up with something that represented Port Adelaide's history, but was modernised.
He came up with the three designs. The club then decided which was Home, Away and Pre-Season.

Re:collection | Ian Kidd

The Home jumper was part prison bar, part lightning bolt, part magpie feathers.
The Away jumper was lightning bolts
The Pre-Season jumper was a more obvious lightning bolt.

The NBA had done studies on which colours appealed to the market and of them (Teal, Purple, Black, Silver) Teal was chosen as it represented the ocean around Port Adelaide.
(Vancouver had an expansion NBA team and they had adopted Teal.)

Another interesting point, the club never referred to Port Adelaide's traditional jumper as the Prison Bars.
It was always the wharf pylons.
However, as happened with South Melbourne & North Melbourne, a nickname meant to be disparaging has been adopted and seen as a positive.

There will be an interesting podcast on the history of the Port Adelaide jumpers released very soon.

That's what I had thought, because of the positioning of the black yoke it's in a similar position as the bars. Will be very interested to hear that podcast.

Not sure what is happening at Essendon at moment- 60% off the Under Armour gear that has sponsors on it, 30% for UA merch that doesn't have a sponsor- either UA are finishing up a year early or a new major sponsor(s) are coming onboard

With UA (as with Puma, adidas, nike, cottonon) they are most likely using a locally based manufacturer for the PI gear as not sure the Australian market would be big enough to do in their own facilities

Don’t know if aflw is technically on a separate thread but

Amart is in the final year of their 5yr deal-must be a new company taking over them as joint major sponsor

 

[Bjo187]

Well good news is if the giants make the grand final, they won't be wearing the crappest clash jumper ever made, like they were forced to do in 2019.

 

[Mero]

No to photographs on footy jumpers.
No to that mis-shapen 2011 Hawk, now available in Pride colours.
So that's a No from me.

So the question is which guernsey will Brisbane wear? The game isn’t a clash but they always wear the Fitzroy colours in Melbourne. Will they wear it?

 

[Billy ray]

Same as 20 years ago?


If they do that please dont make brisbane wear white shorts

 

[aCunningPlan]

Can see Brisbane wanting to use their premiership jumper and the AFL saying yes but insisting they wear white shorts, so expecting this...

21 years ago in that one.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I just want to see the Lions in a red fitzroy kit with blue shorts, please and thank you

 

[Roylion]

That would be nice. Any team with the greater amount of white in their guernsey should wear white shorts.

Would look great but don't think they have any blue shorts and they won't be able to be made in a week
