Background's much better Andonis.

I love how it say's 2004 on that Greek jug thing (I'm not exactly sure what it's called)

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

I think it's the European Championship trophy?

 

[jethro11]

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Oh, I thought it was one of those ancient Greek jugs. The Euro trophy would make more sense though.

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but do you have Greek background Andonis? Just wondering where the name came from.

Yeah, I'm Greek.

Andonis is Greek, Anthony in English.

Actually got up to watch the game at 3.30

Yeah, the European Cup

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

ah, ok. Nice touch though Andonis.

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Should this be renamed to 'Soccer Strips' or something. Especially considering Euro is coming up next year.

Well, there's only one man who could do that...

Sydney's and Subiaco's was way better

I think the Swans jumper has been the only decent QBE design. Why must they have a light blue colourway? I associate royal and orange with QBE. Considering the former is a Glory colour, why not have an orange shirt?

How greek? By virtue of a greek grandfather I'd count myself as greek. That and the eyebrows, olive skin and thick black hair. I stick out in New Zealand with the pasty sheep lover boys .

Way worse then the Subi and Sydney ones.

Really poor attempt

Everyone in my family is Greek. Grandparents born in Greece, parents born in Australia, no monobrow or bushy eyebrows, olive skin, Dark Brown hair.

So, fairly Greek...

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Hey! I don't have a monobrow. Just thick eyebrows. I'd stop short of saying they're like Dom Cassisi's . Funny how just a little bit of wog can tip my genetic balance though .

Wellington's kits looked fantastic on Saturday. Much better than the reebok makes.

Is that weird collar part on the normal Glory kits?

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Unfortunately, I think it is. The collar might be a little lower in the top in the home. Haven't seen the away in play yet, so I wouldn't know.

Still, it's crap.

How come Sydney don't have a sponsor on the front?, I reckon it looks great

 

[Gibbsy]

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

They never secured one; Bing Lee didn't renew their partnership. I too think it looks great.

Odd that a big team like Sydney would have trouble securing a sponsor.

I reckon all teams should ditch the front sponsor and have it like the AFL.

 

[Andonis1997]

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

As long as the sponsors match in the kit e.g. Adelaide's kit, keep the sponsors.

 

[Macca_]

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

I don't think it'll be long until we see big sponsors plastered on the front of the AFL jumpers, just like the soccer shirts.

So the financial struggles of each club can be accentuated?

As ugly as it looks, each A-League team needs as many sponsors as they can.

I just don't think the SFC have that much of a sponsorship pull. Citibank offered them 1.7 mil for 4 years, but they knocked it back...

Quick mock-up of a future AFL jumper

 

[Tigerdrive]

Re: A-League 2011/2012 Kits

Looks ok.. but I couldn't see chest sponsorships working on a lot of other AFL teams, our jumper designs aren't as simplified as soccer/rugby to allow large sponsors.
