Which club has the worst guernsey?

[Wargreymon90]

I’m not of a fan of the generic gurnsey’s straight of out an afl ‘create a team’ mode.

Collingwood, north, hawthorn, port Adelaide, Essendon, Richmond etc all have very dull designs.

My favourites are Brisbane, Sydney, Carlton, Fremantle

Bring back Port's SBS logo!

Hawks is the best by a mile. Stands out more than any other. Like a beacon. Nowhere to hide in Navy Brown and Royal Gold.

Since we have a thread talking about the best guernseys - it would be interesting to get a gauge re. the worst guernsey(s).

Which club do you think has the worst guernsey and why?

Gold coast - looks like a metball jumper.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Port Adelaide’s AFL side, the teal doesn’t do it for me.

Gold Coasts jumper was an absolute howler when it was released.

Increadible it's still being used 10 years down the track.

I suspect it will eventually be looked back like the early Brisbane Bears jumpers were.

The problem is the red color is way too bright. It's clearly the surf life saving colors, but it looks terrible in football branding.

They should shift to a more burgundy red and mimic the colours of the USC Trojans.

Go to a classic yolk, stripe, sash, or band (like the bulldogs) would look unreal in the following colors:

I've got a feeling Tasmania's will be horrendous, especially if it has a graphic of the island on it. It depends on what they are called I guess - the Tasmania Devils, Tasmania Theythems, Tasmania Twoheads

The mistake the modern marketing people make is making the designs too 'busy'. It means they tend to look OK up close (e.g. when viewing in a baordroom0 but just look like a jumble from a distance and on TV.

It's why the older, simpler jumpers still look iconic and have aged well.

The Tassie Convicts could reverse the old Woodville Warriors.

But keep the mullett and mo.

the worst is the marvel guernseys

Haven't done this for a while, nothing has changed for me and I still think Hawthorn is the worst although the Suns and Giants give them a good run for their money. How two new clubs could get it so wrong is beyond me. As for the away strips, it's Essendon who takes the cake, a team with one of the best home strips has the worst away strip.
My top 5 are
Geelong
St.Kilda
Essendon
Richmond
Collingwood

My worst 5 are
Hawthorn
GWS
Gold Coast
*Essendon away strip
*Port Adelaide away strip

 

[smasha]

11 umpires picked Richmond.

 

[Philth]

So, GC are the worst by a comfortable margin. I wonder when they'll fix it?

The best? Putting aside my Tigers bias, I like Melbourne and Carlton's the most.

Great, and get them looking even more similar to their perceived biggest ‘rivals’.

Thoughts on Hawthorn’s on the weekend? I normally think they have a shite guernsey but I liked the full brown setup.

Because simple is often best, simple designs with simple colour schemes, it's why those you mentioned have good designs, they're simple, classic, traditional.

Everything new these days in marketing is wanky and has to be "fresh" or "innovative", which is why the colour schemes and designs of GC and GWS leave a lot to be desired.

If the Tassie team branding can learn anything, it's that a simple and classic design and colour scheme probably will work best. None of this orange, white and grey crap, I assume they will include Green, possibly Gold/Yellow as a popular combo, the key is to not try and overcomplicate it as a piece of art... Just do a traditional sport guernsey and pattern, it's nothing ground breaking but it will easily look better than any overly complicated pattern or colour scheme.

Geelong’s is a shocker. Anything mostly white or hoops is a fashion no-no.

Yep. Look at Port and Freo, tried something different, failed, and ended up with traditional style guernseys which look pretty good.

 

[Mootsy]

can't decide who has the worst guernsey, y'know, probably hawthorn, but i can say for sure that Freo have the worst team song by quite a stretch..

 

[Purple Suit]

Freo's original strip was pure 90's which is back now so looks great during Rivalry round. I'm still glad we changed though, it was a bit busy for an every day kit.

As much as part of freo's song is terrible. It has some really good parts too.

At least there's some good in there somewhere, unlike West Coast and Carlton's which are by far the worst two.

I wish you changed to your purple haze kit. That's probably my favourite you've gone with.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Worst is GC, their Logo sucks.

Part of me wishes Freo hadn't ditched the green and red, but moving to purple with the V lines was such a masterstroke imo

Brilliant rebranding, but I'm glad Freo's starting to bring it back

Right now it’s ours and it’s not even close. Wtf were we thinking with the toilet seat collar.
