Potential new Collingwood jumper?

Stripes look thinner.
Surely just a random PI/retail from 2023 (or hell, this year given red logo'd kits were all we could get for a time). Stripe width changes based on how much the material has to stretch in cutting it for smaller players, eg. Jamie Elliot/Bobby Hill
 
Watching woman’s tonight Brisbane need to wear maroon shorts with clash, easily does its job still!!!!
 
Will Norf join the guernsey and logo fray itself?
Could see us doing a new variant of the old shield logo like we did for the 150th

The thing is the old logo's been used in a semi-official capacity by the club pretty much continuously, so it wouldn't really be a change.

Women football is consistently showing that white shorts often aren't needed (and should never be worn v clubs with white based jumpers)

It's an interesting one, because even though i don't like that we wear white shorts with our away kits, Fitzroy used to back in the day just to show they were the away team. So it does have some kind of odd tradition even if it looks pretty odd.

I like the tradition of white shorts, but lets when they make it harder to tell teams apart not have them.

I would love to See Brisbane have some Royal blue shorts and use them against the Cats down at Kardinia.

This is the dream for sure - maroon shorts with the gold clash, blue shorts with the Roy kit
 
All Collingwood merch operations to be done by Delaware North.

This means that CFC will no longer have any involvement with suppliers, this will reduce issues of supply issues and poor quality (ie. no gold patches)

To my knowledge, this is the first team to outsource their retail store. Expect more teams to partner with DN.

I've heard Delaware North is an awful employer

The club will still be the one contracting with their apparel partner. Sounds like they're just handballing the admin sideways, and probably increasing overhead costs in the process.

When they ran food and beverage at Sovereign Hill they were an absolute nightmare, incredibly inflexible and didn't treat their staff that well. They ran the cafe, but when they heard shops on the other side of the museum run by Sovereign Hill were selling soft drinks in heritage style glass Bickford's bottles for $3 they threw around their contract and said either stop selling drinks or sell Coke in plastic bottles at double the price. Didn't care about the aims of the museum to feel like the 1800's, just wanted to squeeze every dollar they could out of visitors.

I used to work with Epicure (Spotless) when they ran the food and beverage at the MCG and they had their own issues but overall they got the job done.

Siphoning these things off to other groups happens a lot in England and the US once you drop out of the top divisions and leagues. Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League have a deal where a third party organises the teamwear. the Wanderers wear Adidas but they're not sponsored by them at all.

The middleman makes the money by running the shop.

It's a bit different to the system now where Belgravia make the apparel but put on a New Balance logo. what do Belgravia get out of it? genuinely curious. do they make the money from the collar sponsor? and even more curious... why do New Balance want to get involved? they're not in a prominent spot and the only place their logo sits is on shorts and coach's polos.

Surely Delaware North are going to struggle. they don't produce clothing. it's not like there's 15 manufacturers all trotting out teamwear like in the round ball game.

Are Collingwood going to ship off the jumper to a seller and provider who will get it manufactured by someone else, this someone else shopping around a ghost 'apparel sponsor?' you're dealing with about five different entities here. not sure how that'll slow or improve quantity issues.

Would love to know what the go is.
