we dont care about the sponsors
we care about the desecration of the sacred yellow sash with an extra sponsorship thanks to gill, and 4 different sponsorship colours
our guernsey has been destroyed. the guernsey should always come first

We had protests over the sanctity of the JD stand which is essentially just bricks wood and the name of a past great. The jumper who's colours actually represent the club and its 138 year history getting shat on - play on

I was gonna buy a training top this year but look at it. There's more blue and green than yellow. Sponsors logos miles bigger than our club logo. It's gone too far.

There's no way merch sales aren't taking a hit. Question is by how much and whether it's enough to make them reconsider. Literally no point having the extra sponsorship dollars if you're losing almost all of it on merch sales being reduced as a direct result

the above number sponsorship is an afl directive so that they can tax us more and give to minnow clubs via equalisation
what they dont know is it will work out the same or worse cos the merch sales will severely drop cos of all the colourfull sponsorships

Even without the above number sponsor it's still bad enough with green on the sash and a big blue rectangle at the back. Above number is the icing on the cake but it's not the make or break for merch sales, they're still taking a hit because of the other two

I hate carltoon but you have to applaud them , they have 3 white sponsors , hyundai, virgin australia and trip a deal (those sponsors dont mess with club colours) while we have nib green, latitude blue and now kfc red
now imagine if they signed nib, latitude and kfc , their guernsey would be a disaster

It's a ******* disgrace. Jumper looks like crap. We should specify just black or white fro their logo. Like Jeep and Bang and Olufsen was.

See we've never had sponsor logos that clashed badly with our jumper until now. TAC, Jeep, B&O even Dick Smith was ok.
Now we have 3 sponsors all with glaring clashes to our yellow and black.

In a perfect world I would love it if we could have options over both Latitude and KFC - both pretty ordinary business community citizens (high and excessive interest rate model / high and excessive fat product) AND THEN there is their colours messing up the look of the jumper (yeah we get you don't give an eff Sante, but plenty do).
I doubt it stops any support, but I know it's a year when I and others sure as hell don't want the merch unless it's a big dance year (big chance actually). Just wish we could be better.

Sponsors messing up our jersey that is predominantly black one week and predominantly yellow the next, when it doesn't have a dash of purple or a red Poppy added to it, or has an indigenous flavour a couple of times a year.
No doubt it will soon have some added green, purple, orange and yellow for Pride round like the AFLW.
Yep, the jumper looks as crass as a shopping brochure, but the least of my worries. Just win games!
