I think i prefer maroon as a longsleeve colour. It's just another reminder of the premiership days!

Who's that guy on the left? POBT any thoughts?

No smile, he's gone. Aish and Beams for Walker and Dangerfield.

Confirmed today in the lions shop that only the player worn guernseys have the watermarks for anyone still wondering.

Away jumper too, missing Melbourne already.

How about someone renaming this thread more appropriately, coz a momentous event such as this deserves recognition?

This was actually the wrong thread. This thread, as the title suggests was for change suggestions to the new guernsey.
The returning jumper thread is this; http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threa...emiership-fitzroy-lion-its-back-baby.1008695/
it's just that we were all too lazy to go find it to post this week's return posts.

Would take a straight Dangerfield/Aish swap! Smiles irrelevant.

The rumours were spot on.

Hmmm, indeed. Very very interesting, going by this:

Based loosely on early Fitzroy designs which had chamois leather collars and lace-up fronts, panels on its front give the jumper and the wearer an “armour-plaited” appearance accentuated further by the body-hugging material used in today’s garments. The colour-way also serves to provide a connection to our unique merged past while the introduction of white in line with AFL specifications, plus an angled keyline reminiscent of the “vee” on the Bears’ jumper of the mid 1990s, gives it a “traditionalistic but contemporary” appearance.

I especially like this bit.

This is our jumper and we’re in it together. This is season 2015 and we’re in it together. #PrideInTheJumper #BelieveBelong #BeyondLimitsKnown

Badass. Love it, I wonder if the Lion will be on there?

 

[Greggy85]

I can't imagine that clash guernsey at all. The "armour-plaited" appearance, with a mixture of original Fitzroy, contemporary Bears, and a white vee? On spec, it sounds terrible!

I love how the lions managed to somehow include the bears in that description. Even though it is blatantly obvious that this design is purely based of a Fitzroy Guernsey with no inspiration from the bears.

Anyways... I'm not liking what i am seeing. Who thought it was a good idea to use a design from the late 1800's?

I'll reserve my judgements until it is officially unveiled, though.

If by chance its this one.....

... then the irony to me is that that is the most Bears-like jumper the Roys ever wore. Maroon with Gold/Yellow 'Vee' kinda seems familiar don't it?

However, I would be very confused if it turned out to be that one, given its predominantly maroon, like our main jumper. Unless they reverse the colors, or make the laceup parts up the middle super wide.

Quoting myself here HowYouDoin.....

That specific Roys design was ironically similar to the Bears Vee design. Well put it this way, Gold Vee on Maroon jumper for both.

Also reserving judgement to the unveil though. I like the club has put out the 'its coming' article with details, but I'm struggling to imagine what its actually going to be like at this stage based on those details.

Can you show me what you've seen because I'm yet to see anything resembling a guernsey.

This was used between the years of 1897-1907.

 

[Simba Moyo]

I kinda hope they use the vee on the back too, that would look great

 

[L Dizz]

Looks a lot like the hall of fame jumper we played in down in Melbourne a couple of years back, just swapping the maroon bit for white, and the navy bit for maroon. I like it.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Doesn't there have to be a predominantly white body on the clash jumpers though? I'm wondering if they're going to go for something like a white 'armour plate' area, a blue and/or gold V and centre stripe and a maroon top...


edit: Or perhaps... white 'armour plate', blue V / middle stripe, maroon top, and a gold Lion front and centre? edit2: yeah, like that down there vvv LOL

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I posted on the other jumper thread, but perhaps this is the better spot for it.
My read on it would be something like this (excuse dodgy MS Painting)...

I'm almost certain the 'armour plate' reference is just marketing fluff and there will be no such thing on the guernsey.

I'm not even confident there'll be a lion on there. Yellow on white overlapping like that looks a little strange. I think if you take off the lion, that's what it's likely to be

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Calling it that is just marketing fluff yeah, but I'm not really trying to think of another name to call it.

Here's hoping they're not taking it literally and colouring it like actual plates of armour.

Would it look stupid to have a small lion on the top right of the white?
