Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

[phantom13]

It's weird - I thought the idea of the shade of red originally plus the yellow was to mirror surf lifesaving caps/flags
I do like the logo though

I do still think the GC Guards (or Guardians) and properly leaning into that was a missed opportunity.

In any event, this feels a bit bolder to me. Ill honestly probably get one of those home jumpers for the collection

A rebrand is a statement. I like the timing, like the logo, dislike the guernsey.

I mean given you've read an article on a news site written by him I think he's probably actually a writer

like i said lot of projection from you

I do enjoy how annoyed you are by Patrick writing about his dog though

Patrick is a clueless ****wit though.

Zero projection. 100% real life knowledge.

I enjoy how you're coming into bat for this Muppet. It's like you know nothing about the subject but feel the need to defend the clueless twat.

The logo is 10/10. Works on websites. Billboards. Merch. Brilliant.

The jumper is 1/10. 1 point for a darker red. But slapping on a logo, any logo - even a 10/10 logo-is shit.

It needs a hoop or a stripe or a yoke. Something anything.

Maybe seeing it in a game situation will change my mind but for now im split as i love the logo and branding but feel they focused on that and neglected jumper

Someone posted this on Twitter last night - guessing they've edited the background, but if the club did the inverse on their home guernsey with a yellow logo on the deep red, it would have stood out more & been a bit more eye-catching




But watching this promo video, it's the sponsors logos that pop, while it looks like GC is simply wearing a solid red kit

I actually like the yellow one, I feel like the red one is not only the wrong shade but the logo gets lost a little bit, Not enough contrast.

I do have a couple of mates on the GC who are members but they have kept their Melbourne teams and support GC as their 'second' club. I hope they do well but the GC has been a bit of a sporting graveyard over the decades.

So you know Patrick personally?

I can definitely see why people arent loving it and i assume im in the minority but i just like it. Big bold red with a subtle detail.

It works as being an identifier and being different to the original (Ive posted WAY too much on the jumper clash thread but id like all clubs to have 3 kits, home, away (being white) and clash anyway. GC is basically smashing it for my personal view on kit requirements as they could just do a white EXACTLY like the red with a different shade for the logo.

Anyway, i like the rebrand and the jumper personally but i do completely see why some dont.

I do love the Carlton blackout jumper though so why don’t I like this one. Interesting.

 

[phantom13]

I feel for Johnny Noble... Games in March its gonna look like a morphsuit more than a footy jumper.

Freos haze out (or whatever its called) is cool too.

The NFL color rush uniforms are pretty slick too.

I think the sponsors logos need to blend more, that’s the issue for moi

They either need to match the jumper and blend or become iconic (eg Fords logo on Geelong kit).

Were better than the NRL and NBL (and most soccer leagues) at least

Someone mocked up a new suns eclipse blackout version and its amazing. Ill try find it

The Lithuania basketball team, with a little bit of help from the good old Grateful Dead came up with the goat team kit.

You want to ruin Christmas for the local children? What is wrong with you?

Must be a Greens flog, they want to cancel Christmas.
