Why do we have to be the only Victorian club referred to by their full name?

It seems to be the way you're registered. I've noticed it on fixtures and stuff it's always "Geelong Cats".

Goes without saying

It's annoying - we sound like an American sports franchise, not the second oldest professional sports club in the world.

Just noticed this on the Geelong wikipedia page. Collingwood, Essendon and Sydney also have this feature on their wikipedia pages. Although, you can see the away kit has the hone jumper on white shorts, when it should be navy shorts. And the designer didn't bother trying to get the yoke right for the Sydney design.

It's probably primarily a basketball template.

I heard a soccer club registered the name Geelong Football Club from under the AFL team, despite the Cats being much older.

The Cats had to register the longer name and now have to use it for all official purposes.

Anyone got more details? (If I'm wrong can someone please correct me)

Generally don't Geelong do wear the home jumper on white shorts when playing away? Except against Sydney/GC.

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

So the image of the home jumper with white shorts for the away kit would be right?
It seemed you said it should be navy shorts for the away kit?

It's the clash jumper. Notice the upper most stripe, it's navy; which means the jumper is a navy one.

So....then it's not the home jumper on white shorts
Anyway

The home jumper is white, remember. They've gone Home / Navy for home, and Clash / White for away. Geelong have never worn that away combination.

I think this was proven to be a myth. The other myth doing the rounds was that Geelong wanted to distance themselves from the GFC initialism because it had negative connotations due to the global financial crisis. But they changed their name before that all happened, so that clearly wasn't the case either.

In reality, the club for whatever reason just decided it would be better for their "brand" to call themselves Geelong Cats. Unfortunately for me, Adelaide also made a similar decision which is why we are officially referred to in most parts as Adelaide Crows. The Crows decision was made under the old administration and I've been hoping the new one would reverse this decision but so far no good.

Either that or they knew stuff they shouldn't have

Can't imagine that, they would have registered under both names to be sure.

GeeDubs are really pumping out jumpers this year.

 

[Timewaster]

GWS giving Hawthorn a run for their money in the crappy jumper stakes. Also nice to see the UNHCR is helping assess and protect vulnerable or persecuted people by, um, sponsoring sports teams in first world nations.
