Certified Legendary Thread Winged Guernsey Petition/Letter - #ReturnTheWings: WINGS RETURNED, PERIL RETURNED - JOB DONE!

[Dusky]

I don't get why they didn't curve the wing tips on the back, down a bit more, then the Bankwest logo would fit perfectly between them?? More like how they used to.

Because our strip design has been handled by a bunch of potatoes since the mid 90's.

I got my bro in law to go to the AFL store in Garden city and apparently the biggest they make is 3xl. The old jumpers went up to 4xl, can someone confirm if the new 3xl equates to the old 4xl?

cheers

perhaps they haven't got to 4xl yet?

New strip is gorgeous. Hope the clubs take a quick peek at the books in the new year and think of us.

I wonder if they will even get royal wing retails made up or keep selling the mini-wings for all of next year, like they did when we got a new template.

no white in Essendons new clash. Bodes well for possible peril

They're advertising the new royal wings on the store website so I imagine they'd have to sell them

That and also the fact that from all reports, there are literally none of the 2015 royal wings in stock. It would a horrible decision not to sell the 2016 royal wings.

So the new SGI logo will be at the back of the Away version?

Given its new squareness, it will likely sit nicely in between the two glorious wings, no?

Well that's what you'd think of the current SGIO logo too, but apparently not...

Yeah should fit nicely. I wonder if it'll look wierd?? We've had a rectangle box on the back of our aways for more than 10 years, a little square logo will look strange at first.

 

[MIKE85]

Imagine if they kept the exact same shaped box as we had this year, and just put the new sgi logo right in the middle of it

 

[Mr Eagle]

Given that they haven't actually made the change to SGI yet, we're still yet to see all the possibilities for their branding.

3XL is still 3XL

If there wasn't a change in sponsor logos, I wouldn't put it past them.

4XL?

Need to head over to the Subway thread: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/preseason-15-16-tthd.1117705/page-28

Knowing how much sponsors love chopping off the wings, instead of SGI nestled nicely in between the wings. Could we, God forbid have the long version plastered across the back? Lets hope not. Below is just standard text, not indicative of any potential options as yet.

I think "Seriously Good Insurance" is more a backronym / temporary slogan than any sort of official business name.

Anyway, why do people suddenly think the logo on the back won't be unnecessarily rectangular anyway? The old SGiO logo on the front had that great oval (which as far as I know was never used in branding other than with WCE) and then the back had a rectangle which was practically 50% white space. I wouldn't be surprised to see a longer, rounded rectangle on the back.
