The Pies/NM matchup is over-the-top stupid.

The Pies/NM matchup is over-the-top stupid.

Agreed, unless North are wearing a different front pattern,(only two stripes, or no stripes)

I take it none of you saw the white NM jumper with white cuffs and blue names/numbers before they took it down.

Notice North is the only team without a photo by itself.

Did you screenshot it Lee? And was it actually blue numbers, not black? Seems odd

No, it wasn't up for very long, must have been a secret they didn't want revealed yet. And yes, blue names, numbers and the same blue for the Madza BT-50 logo from memory with white cuffs and collar which might be an effort to further avoid a clash with Collingwood. Who knows though?

Just had a look at their website to see if there was anything, and saw this video.

Straight off I thought it could be for a new logo, but they show the current one at the end so seems unlikely. But maybe some sort of one-off jumper?

I think I'm going to go with the white NM jumper, I'm hoping the AFL aren't that stupid.

The roo footprint looks pretty crap.

 

[akkaps]

LeeARM , since when have North worn white cuffs?

They don't, that's why I took note of it.

 

[akkaps]

Just checked the twittershpere for #ouricon . There really isn't much there. There is something about Rihanna, if anyone's interested.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Yeah, looks like a fossilised dinosaur footprint.

There's a thread on the North board about it, but no one knows what's going on:

I agree with some of the comments that it's going to be an indigenous round jumper.

 

[E92_]

I also have a feeling that 'our' is referring to Australia not NM.

I thought it seemed pretty obvious with the backing music that it'll be an Indigenous Round jumper.

[Klim]

I reckon its a red kangaroo jumper. Do they have a game up at NT? Kangaroo Tracks?

 

[Jack Stevens]

Your guess is as good as any. If it's for indigenous round, though, it could be a good month before they release anything.
