Changing the Original Lions Guernsey/Clash Jumper Discussion

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah, not bad.

Would look even better with maroon shorts, but yeah... the AFL...

 

[Nunez]

That is one hell of a jumper. Man it is a good time to be a Lion!

 

[Hysteria25]

Love it.

 

[Full Wingspan]

Arguably the best clash jumper ever made. I honestly don't like the Lion on it though; I think it looks a bit weird on the white/maroon funnel yoke overlap.

Should have just had the maroon funnel on it.

I thought the same thing, I'd rather not have the Lion on it.

Overall though it's a big improvement, club is really moving forward.

I like it, Wouldn't mind a maroon outline on the Lion rather than Yellow on white but it's by far the best we have seen.

 

[JasRulz63]

Agree with the not being a fan of yellow on white (would be better with an outline), but much better than our recent efforts.

 

[MacMum]

Agree with all above about the Lion, but yes a big improvement on past efforts. from me too.

Yeah a dark edge on the Lions probably would have given it some definition.

Love the clash jumper - Lixy_ says that the Lion doesn't need an outline - "it'd look too tacky with a stroke around it".

Wondering if digital enhancement of the yellow may be making it paler than it really is.

Yeah, she's right.

Someone posted this on the footy jumpers board... diminishes the Lion somewhat.

 

[MacMum]

Disagree TBD, imo it highlights it. That looks so much better.

 

[James North]

Looks like a weird cartoon rather than an emblem with that outline :/

Particularly a fan of the watermark in this design on the maroon areas.

What a great throwback.

 

[dlanod]

Sorry, but *shudder*.

Wait till the clique comes in and protects this clown's opinion.

+1

So our jumper is the one without the border?

Yup.

How come there are still paddle pop lions on the shorts and on the badge thingy down the bottom of the guernsey?

 

[rusty08]

Love it. Not a fan of the outlined version.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I quite like it.

Should have just had the maroon funnel on it.

I'm trying to imagine the reaction of a large and vocal percentage of Lions supporters if the club had dared to produce a jumper with no lion at all...

Logo remains the new Lion looking straight at the "camera" and the jumper was the only thing that changed back to the sideways view of the Lion.

Which was my next concern.

For me, the Bears side of the merger may have felt disenfranchised and a little 'left out' by having a jumper that had no Lion on it all and was purely Fitzroy based. Having the lion satisfies all fans as its a Brisbane Lions symbol.

If they wanted to absolutely nail it, they should not have even bothered with the funnel and left it as standard maroon yoke (similar to the one which appeared on the Jonathan Brown 250 game jumper).

Although while I type this, the more I look at it, the more I like it.

 

[Gibbsy]

The outlined version looks best, imo. I think it may have even been better without the lion (it looks a little bit slapped on) but it's still better than any other clash jumper the Lions have had.

Unfortunately there are some pointless maroon lines down the side that some people may not have noticed.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Classy. It incorporates traditional elements while utilising the constraints of a white clash jumper.

Especially when comparing to others like the Crows etc the club has done a great job. Best clash in the league.

 

[Skoob]

Sorry, but *shudder*.

I think it would have looked better with a 'V' yoke instead of the funnel. The lion would have looked better on a single colour background then too.
