Or my special Brownlow wings jumper. I think there's a definitely a market for these, we should start a business.

Close but no cigar, there's no 'gaps' in the individual glyphs hence not a Stencil font, rather just a thick serif font.

EDIT: Wow I read the post above me wrong. I thought HiReception was arguing that it wouldn't be the first time that Stencil font was used on a guernsey. Sorry!

I was going to ask if it was Stencil font. Saw the top half of your post and confused myself as to whether I actually asked the question or not. Fair to say I'm a bit out of it. :drunk:
 


From left to Right; Away vs West Coast, Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda; Home and away vs Port with white shorts; Away vs Brisbane, Essendon, Freo, GC, GWS, Hawthorn, Melbourne, Richmond, Sydney, West Coast,
 
Damo, why does the home with white shorts suffice against Port Adelaide but not against Essendon or Richmond?

That just goes along with the "tradition" rule which a lot of us want to abolish

Not me.

I like the idea of away jumpers. I like a team only being aloud to wear their home jumper AT HOME. Richmond, Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood have been getting away with wearing their home jumpers wherever they want, and I'm over it. The Crows would wear the home jumper against port and vice verse as a show piece, as a part of the tradition of the Showdown.

I don't care about a club wearing white shorts as a rule. I think the home side should be the only one aloud to display their home jersey. The visitor shoul have to wear something else.

You've just contradicted yourself.

You only want home teams to wear their home jumper at home (understandable) but then you say the Crows and Power can wear it away in the Showdown because of tradition? The very farce that lets Carlton wear their home jumper + white shorts against Collingwood?

In big, specialist matches like the Collingwood Carlton games, the ANZAC day match, Derbies and Showdowns, then the jumpers form part of the appeal of the match. If it makes life easier, let clubs register a set of games where they want to wear the jumpers. Essendon will nominate EVERY game, the AFL says no, you can have ANZAC day and two other big ticket games, so they get Collingwood and Carlton. Done. Every other game they wear their away. The fans want to see the traditional jumpers in those big matches, it helps to nurture the rivalry, and that's good for everyone.

In regular games, the easiest way to avoid clashes is to actually enforce the wearing of away jumpers.

* that, the clash jumper policy will never be truly enforced if old Victorian clubs rest on their laurels and use tradition as an excuse. I think you're on your own with this one Damo

You're not quite on your own. If there's no clash (and there really isn't in the vast majority of games) clubs should wear what they like. If a club wants to boast about tradition let them have only one - fine. If another club wants to sell two sets of guernseys, also fine.

It's a molehill that gets far too much attention, though on pages like this with design fans I guess it's understandbale....
