Discussion State of our jumper

[George]

Funny you say that, I’m 3 days into my first ever fast and struggling a bit

Intermittent? If so what hours?

 

[phantom13]

I did a 4 day juice cleanse once.

Never again.

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

Got one of each (short and long sleeve). Might be the first time I've bought the home strip since early 2000's lol

They look so good - I wanna get a few. Whats the vibe with sizing? Am I gonna need some 4XL so it's not stuck to me like a glove or what?

I like them loose and I remember the way they were designed a few years ago was terrible, you'd need to buy them 2 sizes above what you normally wear just so they'd fit lol. I think that was the XBlades years though. Haven't tried this one on yet.

Nah full fast, waiting to see sounds and hear colours

****ing hell that's rough How much weight have you lost?

I've done water cuts before and that stuff was hard. It's hard to pump that much water into your system in the first few days but then day 5, 6 and 7 on little to no water at all is the toughest.

Haven’t weighed yet, I’ll be finished tomorrow. Can’t see a difference, but we’ll see

Looks a little small for you

I did the 4 week calorie drop for a pro fighter and the 3 day water cut for a pro fighter (seperately) and genuinely the water cut made me worried I was going to die.

Yeah the water cut is scary, I did it about a week out from competition and the first and final couple of days are really bad. Water intoxication into bad dehydration lol

Long time lurker amongst the bush's jumping in for a chat.
As a lover of long sleeved jerseys I've always prefered a different colour cuff trim .
Such as the red as modelled by these 2 champs.
Even the white cuff looks ok IMO

I'd love to see us do something like the French football team this world Cup and have red socks, white shorts and predominantly black jumper. Probably look too much like the Demons but it could work with other clubs with completely different strips.

 

[Highlander35]

I'm the weirdo who thinks we should go a bit experimental for our clash strip again instead of retreading old ground or just going full white.

I reckon we could pull off a predominantly white heavy version of a Harlequins style guernsey: (No Photoshop skills,but replace blue & grey with white and use your imagination)

 

[austinnn]

I agree that we should be more experimental with textures and design, AFL strips are really conservative. It’s as if we still have to knit the damn things lol

There is a whole BF board of design freaks making hundreds of different stripes, it's a shame very little of that creativity finds its way into official club marketing departments, but I suppose if clubs did stray too far from the century old designs you'd get a bunch of whingers arcing up that you're shitting on their club's heritage.

Yeah, Hawks came up with a few off script designs and got laughed at for it. I think some really simple ones as you said, full black with a crest. Black top white shorts red socks works too. Full white and red for clashes. You get three kits out a year, you can sell a lot more of them. Retro is back in all over the world now but perhaps have a couple of special round additives. They are super cheap to make now so number limit run ect as a collectible even. Carlton made over $1 million in merchandise sales this year. If we get it right it could be very lucrative.

Just gotta be careful you don’t end up like league where half the time you can’t tell who’s playing at a glance.

Lord that's nice.
Love the patch crest and the little collar. Big fan.
Also love the little pinstripes on the red and black.
