Discussion Round 10, 2016 – Indigenous Round: Photos and Discussion

[ManWithNoName]

North's jumper looks like this year's version of Carlton's from last year. Can barely notice it in play.

 

[HTT]

Two things:
1) Norths pattern is just about invisible
2) how good does the red v blue look!?

 

[Hank93]

Awesome match up this, better than Suns v Eagles I reckon.

 

[E92_]

Sydney/Eagles is a better match-up than GC, imo.

 

[akkaps]

I like how the pattern on the North jumper makes the blue look darker.

The Swans jumper has a white stroke that separates the red and the white parts of the jumper

And the Reognise 'R' logo features on North's shorts, but Sydney don't have the logo on their shorts.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Gotta say the Swans jumper looks really nice with that slightly darker red due to the pattern.

Taking the big chunk of white out of their jumper makes it much more effective

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Am I the only one thinking the sides should've put the artwork on their shorts as well as the jumpers? Only noticing it now.

then Mero can have a shorts section on footyjumpers.com too! (and won't he love that?)

 

[Timewaster]

Sydney's fortune cookies are working well so far

Yes. I think some things should be left alone. Not a huge fan of the artwork creeping onto the collar/cuffs on the Sydney jumper either tbh.

 

[Timewaster]

North is the 2016 Carlton, respecting the jumper with a subtle design instead of mismatching scribbles and dots everywhere

Reckon that'd be a late addition from North – either that or they don't want to publicise it as much?

It still seems strange that some clubs are choosing not to have the logo and some are, it's almost a political arms race

 

[Jack Stevens]

The casual observer would be watching this game thinking that all that North have done is put the flags above the AFL logo. The pattern is barely visible in closeups, it just looks like their clash/home.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

Yeah, should have been made a bit more visible, I've been worried about it since i first saw the players actually wearing it.
Shame, because it's actually a pretty cool design.

Swans/North and Suns/Eagles (with both away teams in full royal) are for mine the best matchups league-wide. Somehow the common colour in each of these matchups adds to the aesthetics without detracting from the contrast.

On second thought, close ups on Goldstein show that the design looks a bit like sweat marks over the pecs.
Probably because it is so transparent.

Certainly in the case of north v Sydney the white just acts as a base for the design, without really lightening the jumper as much as black would darken it

Norths Royal kit looks class under lights.

Que?

 

[HTT]

Que?

i.e if you replaced the white with black on their jumpers, it'd be a clash. The White seems to almost remove a clash if anything, making the matchup awesome. I'm reading far too much into it

You're doing my head in Harry (along with the wine!), but I think I get what you're saying: if the white were black on both jumpers there would be less contrast & therefore they would clash.

Basically yeah I have a tendency to do that.

Some nice jumpers this year. Shame the two WA clubs cant even be bothered. Ours is rubbish. Would love a wings version of the indigenous jumper.

"Can't even be bothered"? They both have an Indigenous Round jumper that is now recognisable as that due to its repeated use. If they want to make that jumper/design a small part of their branding/image instead of doing a new one every year, why not?!

I will pay Freo's. I think ours (besides the main colour being yellow), is lip service. i hear what you are saying, but indigenous round is a once off and should be an opportunity each year for a new design giving a new artist a crack. Seems like our two clubs have just settled because it is easier. Gotta remember, WC don't have to do any work for members. We have a 15k waiting list lel, easiest job in the world.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Ours is fantastic, and I'm glad we've stuck with it rather than churning out something new.
