Am I crazy or was there a point in time where Jimmy Bartel was going to work with GC to work on their brand? Whatever happened to that? Or am I sleep deprived and making that up?

Apart from the inner collar, there’s no change (so nothing visibly changing on match day)

 

[Fizzler]

Was Essendon already sponsored by Coles?

I could be wrong but weren’t they sponsored by Coles insurance or something? If so I guess they must have switched to the main brand somewhere along the line.

Became a commercial partner in 2021, before that just an Official Partner

 

[Heardy_101]

Not entirely wrong but I guess at this point it just feels like a step back with how long it's been and how little had been done to evolve the Suns brand. What troubles me is how hey actually would have had to sit down and say "yeah actually let's spice up the jumper a bit, I know, a dash of blue there should do it!" and then give NB the go ahead. The employees and higher ups at the club genuinely believe that this is presentable brand for a professional sporting team. It was hilarious laughing about it 5+ years ago, now it's just sad.

This, this and this.

I've seen country football clubs with better designed logos and jumpers.

Pretty sure most if not all club shops will switch to FANATICS as part of the 10 year deal the AFL did with them to take over from PLAYCORP earlier this year

Does that mean discounts every day like the American fanatics sites

To give you a side by side comparison of the 2016 Gold Coast jumpers, and the 2017 that Jimmy Bartel had a hand in.



Collars, Apparel Sponsor logo and JockTag are the only differences.

I think you're looking at the design from the wrong angle, and have to think about what it represents, Mero. It represents nothing.

The 2024 Suns jumper means that this is still the undisputed greatest jersey of any sport ever worn on the Gold Coast.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

Colours might pretend they represent something, but the design does not

Man I miss the GCU and the Strikers (in the top league)

There was this prototype from their first year that was never worn but it very much leaned into the whole lifesavers thing

Like the logo isn't great, but it is in no way worse

 

[Tandy]

GC logo could similar to carltons monogram and the old Geelong GFC.

It's interesting how they had the actual GC logo on the back of the neck, so maybe this was supposed to be some kind of secondary logo which would've been really cool actually

If Gold Coast were going to become the "Lifesavers", perhaps a jumper reflecting this would suit?

Their team song could simply be, "Lifesavers! Get a 'hole' lot more outta life!"
