Discussion State of our jumper

Black collar and cuffs are more aesthetically pleasing with the black backed jumper.

Check out the earlier picture comparisons provided. Its more vibrant and balanced

Plus too much black makes it seem too close to a certain group of druggies

With the current materials and general cut the black is far more aesthetically pleasing.

Yet the imbalance of a black cuff on a black panel of the jumper looks awful

Lots of different opinions it seems.

I love 'em all (even liked that white distressed look away jumper that 99% of my fellow supporters seem to despise )

Bottom line is you just can’t make a bad St Kilda jumper. It’s that delicious combination of Black, White & Red.

Let's face it; the worst St Kilda jumper is still far, far better than the best jumper the other 17 clubs can come up with

Unless you try to incorporate yellow into it as well.

Now I may be a bit biased as the designer of this guernsey but I would LOVE to see this get used in an official match... I have always thought it would make a great clash but then again I'm pretty happy with out current one also.

I'll also go against the trend and say that I much prefer the solid black cuffs on the home jumper, no contest with the white. From memory 09 was the last time we had solid white and I wasn't a fan, maybe with a better designed cuff it could work though.

 

[Murraj1966]

I played around on Photoshop to see what a white collar and cuffs would look like on our current home guernsey... it looks ridiculously good!

Here's the original for comparison.

To the posters above this is what it would look like on the new template and it looks like the best jumper we could have

Very true Dr Spaceman. Jumper design like medicine isn't a science.

The Jack Pack do you have a mock with a white collar and black cuffs?

Bring it back...

Any jumper with the cross on it looked SH!THOUSE. It just reminds of the '97 GF. What a disgrace we wore that in a granny. No wonder we lost.

 

[psychosaints]

im gonna cop some s**t here but i think this looked alright for a clash jumper

Just my opinion though so dont abuse Me too much

My last post to you was 'GOLD SNAKE, GOLD'. This is more like brown and gold snake, SH!THOUSE!

 

[psychosaints]

FWIW, I like the traditional jumper with the white trimmings for home and the narrow stripes for clash jumper. Scrap the rest....

AND BRING BACK THE TRI COLOUR SOCKS FROM THE 80's!!!!

Looks much better in person, I have one in my cupboard, it's a good shade of yellow

 

[Chuckie357]

I love our current clash guernsey but I wouldn't mind having a predominately red one in our rotation.

I'm not sure who we'd wear it against (besides Collingwood) since the white one gets the job done nicely.

Carlton, Richmond, port, Freo?

 

[Chuckie357]

I liked the 140th anniversary with the hoops. No white, but tres classy.

Should be our away strip with the stripes being the official clash

Disagree. Looking like Essindin clash jumper is not a good idea. We have so many great design options with our 3 colours, that one doesn't make the finals.

I'm not too fussed about whether our cuffs are black or white or if they are white with a black stripe. My main beef is our clash jumper. None of them inspire me much at all. I reckon the best solution with our clash jumper is simple.....

The front should be the traditional tri panel and the back should be white instead of black. This worn with white shorts would be perfect IMHO. There would also be scope to have a second clash jumper (if needed) with the back being red and worn with red shorts. As long as the front is the traditional RWB tri panel then all is good IMHO.

I like your idea about the R,W&B tri panel being a constant
Im not too keen on the red back & red shorts though.

Ive never liked the swans home kit cos theres just a bit too much red for my liking.
Then if you throw in the fact that as well as the back & shorts we would also have a third of the front of the jumper red as well.
Thats a hell of a lot of red

 

[Saintt]

I'm pretty sure our tri panel with a white back and shorts isn't allowed as it doesn't have enough white on it.

Im loving this year's clash best we've had since 2005 in my opinion.

Although i do agree that if they didn't make the white panel too wide that would be a good clash jumper as proposed. 2010 clash was uninspiring

Why is Collingwood's clash jumper allowed then? That has even less white in it!! I don't think that rule was ever really applied anyway. Traditional tri panel front should always be a constant. As I said, we can then tinker with the back of the jumper...either all white or all red depending on which team we are clashing against. The hot cross bun jumper and the candy stripe jumper should be put away and only brought back once every 5 years IMHO. And that is only for marketing purposes otherwise I would get rid of them for good.

Because it's Collingwood.

I agree I would love to see the hoop socks again. Also agree the shield jumper or any cross jumper is ordinary
