The Jumper Thread

[Bleedblueandgold]

If you're gonna go retro, go FULL retro. Either of these two please -

Too similar looking to our 2 current jumpers.

More the combo with the shorts I was going with

 

[Dazzler9]

Speaking of jumper related things, both Brisbane and Collingwood will be in their home guernseys for the GF, with the Lions to wear white shorts for some reason.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Let's not go all Boaty McBoatface here. Just vote for '95 and step away quietly.

Brisbane are the away team. Collingwood finished higher on the ladder.

2002 and 2003 GFs had both teams in their coloured shorts, no problem. It's better than putting Brisbane in white shorts, which is a major colour of Collingwood.

I agree. But that's just how the AFL rolls. It would be nice to see some changes to uniform policy with the women now wearing dark shorts. I understand it is for non-design reasons but it looks good and it works so why not let the mens teams do it too.

The ochre is puke and has been one of the most derided and loathed guernseys in league history, let alone club history. Why the sudden love??

Everyone else is wrong.

Our home guernsey in 16-17 was identical colour wise to that 95 one so I unfortunately only associate that colour design to those dismal disappointing years.

I’d take 16-17 in heartbeat if thats what we consider disappointing years

Times have changed Dazzler and the AFL are strict on clashes (unless you’re a big vic side).

The thing I found funny this year was AFL allowing us to wear a royal indigenous top against the lions at the gabba when they usually make us where the peril

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Gonna be a nervous wait until the announcement of the winner.

Disappointing in that there was so much expectation yet so little was delivered.

The eagle on the jumper is fierce. Time to hunt?

The all yellow kit mightn’t look that bad with modern guernseys.

Hope not, would be a very dull retro kit.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Nobody that was around at the time wants to remember the Ochre - it’s a symbol of finding out the club wasn’t immortal.

Bit like when you realise your parents are human or pro-wrestling isn’t real.

I had shared a photo of the email newsletter to several groups earlier this evening since it hasn’t been spoken of over there yet.

It’s not surprising to see so many older members oppose to a one-off Ochre return, but unfortunate that people don’t see the fun/novelty side to this poll, considering the navy wings already had their brief triumphant return between 2016 and 2017.

It could have a possible chance if it wasn’t a Members only vote.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Spoken like a true 20 year member snob here but I don’t think we should be letting non members decide this or at least give input - or anything really.

We have 100k people willing to put their money where their mouth is - we don’t need input from some knob on FB who thinks ‘Nic Nat No Stat’ and not dropping Alex Witherden are the root of all our issues.

Fair enough, I do appreciate that this poll lets Members have a say on the decision.

Just out of curiosity, how was the Club’s poll in 2013 related to the eventual return of the royal blue and gold wings home and away conducted, was that also by a Member vote, or just via the Club website?

Hmm - I have a feeling that was member based also back then - I seem to recall some snail mail to that effect.

Members would cast their vote with an onion tied to their belt, such was the fashion at the time.

There was an online poll. As a non-member I voted multiple times.

There may have also been a member only poll, can't remember.

 

[ioppolo]

I actually don't find the Ochre that bad. If that's considered our worst ever guernsey then we're laughing considering the tripe other clubs come up with.

We'd give anything for a finals appearance let alone an epic finals win right now.

The 95 one brings back good memories.

But also reminds me of the late 90s and missed opportunities as legends got older.

Late 90s and 2016-2017 were similar in a way
