Aside from making a mess, could you imagine the stench?

Yeh it looks like they are first names from a distance. Needs to be tidied up a little.

There's also no reason for the "NMFC" to be there. We know that they're the North Melbourne Football Club, that's what they're called – it's not like they're still trading as the Kangaroos.
"SMFC" (and similar) – different story. Happy for that to stay, even if the back of the guernsey might look crowded.

I agree completely, and I hope this puts to an end clubs crowding the neck of their jumpers with pointless initials.
It's like when every club decided to tack their recently designed logos on the breast of their jumper for no identifiable reason. Excluding St Kilda, which has been doing this since 1932, of course.
It's become passe and tacky.

Officially now a cramped mess. And why make the names a different colour to the number?

Like how St Kilda are really the only club who should have an emblem on their jumper. Because they always have. They'd look wrong without it. The Cats maybe at a stretch considering they've had it for ten years. But aside from that it's just superfluous and cluttered.

I hate that it's going to be a permanent thing
**** Andy D and his obsession with American shit
At least it has the lack outline now.
Isn't he leaving soon? So it may not be a permanent thing, depending on his successorI hate that it's going to be a permanent thing

I can see how this would work in the NRL where players don't have a consistent number. But what is the point in the AFL?

Mini-logo on the numbers is inverted (PI is white AFL on black oval). Weird.

"American" more like "Almost every major sports league on the planet"

Sorry to quote myself, but:
Not to mention that Americans do sport better than anyone. The AFL should basically be aiming to emulate the NFL in as many ways as possible, because the NFL is best run sports league in the world. It's 100% fair in the fixturing, it has a world leading draft and salary cap system, and it's presentation, both live and on TV is the best of any sport in the world.

Heavy consideration for this to become permanent next year.
Lewis Roberts Thompson to have L.R.T on his jumper.

The logo on the hawks jumper looks like the robot hawk from the 80s.

I am so ready for this. I wouldn't have bought a new guernsey next season, but if this comes in I will.
