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

[QS]

Being able to buy these jumpers is one of the least important parts of them IMO. If that's why they need a new one every year they've got the idea of the whole round wrong.

Which part of my post suggested that? Sounds like you are on a frolic of your own there pal. Dial it back. I just think its a rort that you can be lucky enough to own one of the West Coast 2016 indigenous round guernseys for $120 when the 2015 (and identical apart [maybe] from some minor template tweaks) could be had for a clearance price not that long ago.

Thanks for asking. My view is that since the
clubs ask their troops to bleed for the jumper, the jumper should not be defaced too much.

I like the Crows artwork but wish it had the hoops as a prominent element.

WCE is a cartoon job like the Dogs' clash effort. We all bagged that one, so I'm surprised we don't all bag the Eagles' one.

Dons are looking good btw.

Richmond colours looking good, and not one, but two blokes in sleevers tonight. The Essendon jumper looks fantastic.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

Make that 3 blokes

 

[Mr Eagle]

Adelaide jumper blue is not matching the shorts. Looks a bit odd. Lighter blue pattern on the back makes it worse...

 

[Hank93]

Crows jumper is sooooooooooo faded

 

[Timewaster]

Dons jumper looks great with long sleeves

The parts where you've suggested the WA clubs are being lazy due to having large memberships already and especially the parts where you're decrying the fact that you could buy the exact same jumper for $50 not long ago coz it was last year's...

Essendon's sash looks like its made of voleur with pink lining.

What could have been cool is if the Left side of GWS' G faded out with orange dots, so it could look integrated with the back.
Just looks so dysfunctional.

Adelaide's indigenous guernseys are very well done. 2015 is my personal favourite, 2014 and 2016 are also very good.

Went to the Saints - Freo game. The interview with a bloke before the match seemed to imply all clubs put their hands up to get Recognise 100% on board, and the implication was every club would 'visibly' show support (so I'm guessing a patch). I suppose this only happened lately, thus some clubs not having it on the jumper in the press images.

Well, they are and WC does have a waiting list (I didn't talk about Freo). I take umbrage to the fact the club is flogging an identical jumper to the discounted version to full price.

In any event, I'm not sure how this furthers our points so I will leave it there.

Better than ours?

It's like the G was an afterthought as someone else said earlier in the 'fred.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Fairly sure our numbers are heat pressed.

Isn't the back supposed to be considerably lighter than the front due to the extra design on the back?

Rhys Palmer in the longsleeve for the Giants. It has large-ish dots where one of the cuffs would be.

The gold is what's annoying for me. I'm not overly fussed by the navy.

 

[Gibbsy]

The Essendon jumper doesn't have the Recognise logo, nor does their shorts, which is odd. Out of all the teams I thought they'd be the most willing to promote it.

 

[MKMatty]

I sorta agree with your point QS. Typical WC money making scheme in regards to our indigenous jumper this year. I'm happy I can trot mine out this year and feel like I'm current, but it's a shame we don't see a unique design each year. Especially since I imagine there's many more stories that can be displayed on the jumper.

Taylor Adams wearing long sleeves.

No hoops. I am disappoint.

 

[Cory]

Long sleeve looks good

 

[hitthepost]

The Torres Strait Island flag on the 50m arcs could do with a stroke around it, coz you can hardly tell there's a green line at the top and bottom of the flag.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Do the sleeves have the pattern on them as well? It looked like they did earlier on a close up but haven't been able to see since.
