Yeah, I'm not crazy about it but it was the best of a bad bunch I guess.

Shockingly high levels of teal.

The Smaller Warrior

You saw some of the new gear right?

Do you know anything about it mate? A subtle '' would be enough.

*wonk*

 

[Willsy10]

Looks good in black shorts

And yeah get rid of the teal panel on the back and replace with black or even go full black with a white number and it wouldn't be a bad pre season or novelty guernsey.

 

[finbarr]

.....or just leave it as is, use it as a one-off thing and go back to our current design henceforth.

 

[Smartys Power]

I wish. Best round ever for jumper n3rds

It could be to celebrate the creation of port power est 1996? 20 years.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe because it's our 20th season in the comp. But in saying that, why that one?

Was the jumper we wore in our first match, Collingwood at the MCG?

I can't remember. I was only 3 months old.

That teal looks more like Carolina blue.

Best "you're old" burn of the year

(How's the irony of using a gif from a 1985 movie?)

 

[jonasshirtfront]

I also believe I saw this jumper with what may have been the new Renault logo design on the back.

Don't toy with me man

*wonk*

Typeface = everything.

Who is Trauis Bork?

[Magus]

We need more Bork license plates.

 

[Jack Foster]

Just watching GC v Port and noticed our home strip with the sponsors reversed (EA back RENO front). I think the white Reno box will look nice on the front of that

The Renault box will be black with white writing on the front of our black away guernsey hopefully.

I like it better than I thought I would, but i'll need to see the back I reckon before i'm sure.

Any word on price?

What the * is with the "00" when every other club (NRL and AFL) has its establishment date on theirs? Looks like a completely ill conceived balls up to me.

Not keen on the "PORT"

then yeah, the 00. I guess it could have been 70, or increase to the full number of 1870.

 

[El_Scorcho]

That's an issue, but aesthetically 00 looks better than 70 would, IMO.

The use of Port instead of Power, and teal being used correctly as a tertiary colour is on point.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Also the one-armed manikin is a bit creepy.

What would you have used instead?

 

[Doctor Feel]

No idea, given the size of the text vs. the real estate - there probably isn't much else they could use.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Yeah agree.

Using the full Port Adelaide would have given a New Orleans Pelicans style effect where the letters are too small to look right.

Power is obviously off the table at all times.

Port is the best option.

I'm fine with "Port". But using a number with zero significance to the club has it coming off looking like a sample/prototype.
