I was in the AFL store tonight and I saw a different Essendon jumper.
It was half red and half black. They were separated by a diagonal line which follows where the bottom of the sash usually sits. The back was predominantly red. There was an Essendon logo on the left breast and that big ugly 3 thing in the middle.
Is this simply a new training jumper or is it some alternate that is being trialed?

I have not seen the jumper but it sounds horrible. If we have to have an alternate jumper, I would prefer plain black with a large Essendon logo on the front.
Nothing will ever beat the black jumper with the red sash. :)

Your post made me rather curious about the jumper and quite scared! ;) So I went into the AFL Store today, in Rundle Mall and checked it out.
I took one look at it an screwed my nose up! and went on to looking at the new Bomber t'shirts, which aren't too bad. :D
PS: Definately a training jumper

The club's constitution bans them from wearing any other jumper than black with a red sash for games. I haven't seen the jumper, but it's probably a training one, to go with the gridiron shorts.

If you saw the Intra-club game shown on Fox Footy, half the players were wearing that hideous jersey. And yes, it is just a training jersey. (thank god)
I reckon that Aaron Henneman will be giving those jersey's away to all the Essendon fans - so when he looks into the crowd, everyone will be wearing his number 3!:D :D
