Before confirmation of the Dutton sponsorship, presumably.

 

[jcmelb]

its weird they've made a point to say black trim but then the retail ones have the red on them...

 

[SC26]

Are UA subcontracting to ISC for Essendon's jumpers? Looks like the previous ISC template

Question
View attachment 1849154

Away jumper or training jumper?

I’m guessing they were planning on going dual Fujitsu (but obviously whatever that other sub-brand was) at the time of printing and then this Dutton brand came on board after retails were printed. These sorts of things probably happen because I imagine they have to finalise the retails really early given how many they need to print. Port had something similar happen in 2020 where you couldn’t get MG on the retails because they came on late. So late in fact that our Round 1 jumpers had a horizontal MG patch ironed over the GFG logo. The season shutdown gave them time to sort out proper MG branded jumpers but Round 1 looked like this.

I’m not sure if the Indigenous jumpers were sold with two GFG logos but the ISC mock-up has two as opposed to the real thing which had MG.

In short: don’t expect to see Dutton logos on any retails if they’re already being sold with that other logo instead.

Hey, you were right!

Maybe it's just for the player issues as the retail jumpers still using the UA design: Under Armour Essendon Football Club Gear & Apparel | Bomber Shop

And it already looks 100 times better because Dutton didn't go with a box!

Meh, show me the back.

It's boring but it won't clash with some teams like this years clash jumper did.

2024 clash

Not a huge fan, if we wanted a white clash I would've liked to see the return of the 2017-2019 clash kit.

 

[Billy ray]

Will it be worn v Carlton, Collingwood or Richmond when Essendon is away team?

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I pitched the reverse of that years ago. I ended up settling for a double sash version with a thinner black sash underneath.

Probably would look better just with that contrasting red sash, and no black on it at all.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I know, but from a visibility perspective, I think you would probably have the same issues

There's different shades of red, though, they never tried using a different contrasting red. Even some sort of gradient for the outlines would help make the sash stand out. It doesn't require using black at all. This is close to what I was imagining.

Of course being a hawks fan I didn’t buy anything but the wanted to check out what the Essendon store using fanatics is like and the fanatics customisation option definitely seems to be better then hawthorn atleast thay makes you click on a link in the description section

What the hell are Essendon doing. Always resisted the black sash on red even though it works and would look good. Only to then have 2 black sashes on red for no reason. Should be like Richmonds

Something in their constitution prevents them from using a black sash for some reason.

Constitution also requires them to wear black shorts, but they wore red for a period of time. Their constitution is flexible when they can be bothered.

Would love the Bombers to embrace red shorts with their clash.

I'm not sure they've even had the chance to make that choice.

 

[Hamez]

Dutton on the away looks better than the mock that had Fujitsu

 

[Freshwater]

Would love the Bombers to embrace red shorts with their clash.

If they used the red shorts they wouldn’t have to use a clash guernsey in many instances. Eg I don’t think they even need a clash guernsey v Richmond if they had the red shorts. And would make games v Melbourne, Freo, Collingwood and Carlton much better and can still be in home guernsey.

Like this? Or, with thinner sashes?

Definitely with the normal sash like they wore in the late 70’s early eighties. And neither ever really work with StKilda.

2024 clash

Does this mean that St Kilda will not wear a version of the crusader jumper in 2024? In my view, that would be disappointing given what a great design it is. If the saints wanted a good white clash jumper, the 2017-2019 design was always an option.
