News New Jumpers for 2024

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Sort of a shame that some clubs may run out of retro guernsey ideas before the AFL decides to implement an actual 18 team retro round.

Who's to say clubs can't reuse jumper designs? most clubs wear the exact same kits every year with slight tweaks and sponsor changes. Sydney & West Coast recycled their indigenous jumper designs for several years without change.

 

[Mr Eagle]

That's a very thick centre part on the anchor.

(I'm sure there's a technical term for it.)

 

[MKMatty]

-top section of the anchor is too thick.
-collar and cuffs too thin

 

[errant bounce]

The club has such a shit identity at the moment.

It wants to appeal to the kids with disposable income and then realises it needs to maintain the current corporate look because... it's embarrassing to go back.

It also loves to connote itself with Indigenous connections and then proudly leeches itself to Woodside.

Genuinely horrible admin.

elbow too pointy

Don’t understand the negativity around this release, tbh.

Last time they wore this guernsey was five years ago (which is a decent chunk of time), it’s the club’s inaugural home guernsey as they celebrate 30 years since their foundation. It’s also Sekem’s first crack at it, given they wore it last during their last season with ISC.

It was the right choice, and the guernsey itself looks fairly accurate, aside from the purple but it’s really the smallest of issues.

They should call it The Chode.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Bring it back permanently. The chevrons are so boring

It should be the full haze version of the guernsey with the white anchor brought back full time as it is their best. They made an unused prototype recently.

Nah, they should have brought out their full haze guernsey with the white anchor, they haven't used that yet for retro round.

Sort of a shame that some clubs may run out of retro guernsey ideas before the AFL decides to implement an actual 18 team retro round.

They should use past prototype or past training uniforms if they've completely used up past home or alternate/preseason uniforms for retro round.

 

[Freight Train]

I don’t disagree with this, but if they’re focusing on 30 years, makes sense for it to be the inaugural home guernsey.

Purple Haze will have its moment.

 

[Rubber Arm]

They probably used that shade of purple to match the purple of their shorts, eliminating the need to get a whole set of slightly lighter purple shorts?

I thought next year for 30 years would be more fitting for it, as opposed to a 30 season anniversary.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Freo should bring the OG back permanently and Port should do likewise.

Oh, and return the old logos too.

Yeah I kinda agree with this, have this one as our home, the inverse as the away/clash and add the red/green for derbies (I feel our classic home jumper just better represents the history of the rivalry)

 

[Fizzler]

Will die on the hill that the modern anchor is far better than the original. Could do with a redesign possibly if the haze was to become the home jumper though, just so it’s its own thing rather than a rehash. In this case though, the original anchor makes sense. Just a shame how some manufacturers (mainly Sekem and Macron) they’d to put the AFL and sponsor in line with the manufacturer. Shits me to no end I’m afraid.

 

[jumperfan]

Unpopular opinion - the chevrons are a much stronger design than the anchor. Would be an improvement if they used the lighter purple though.

Port AFLW to wear the PB’s in Round 1 v Adelaide

The chevrons look good but the problem with them is that it’s just generic, same as Port’s V jumper, there’s nothing unique about these designs that represent the team like the anchor or the lightning bolts.

Sure, most AFL guernseys are generic but I think that mostly works for teams that came up with their jumpers 100 or so years ago.

While I'd love to see the anchor continue to be worn for the occasional Retro game, the chevrons are a much stronger design. As many posters have suggested already, all it needs is a fresh more vibrant shade of purple.

Agree with this, but personally (& I think it may have been proposed on this board) I'd love to see the chevron in each of the colour's, Red, White & Green

What’s the reasoning behind that? Doesn’t really resemble any of the old prison bar kits?

Have been different variants over the years.
