My favourite time of the year

Ahhh, heritage round. The one round where you can get away with simple, generic designs (usually!)

 

[Gibbsy]

Hobart lifting the bar yet again. So good.

For me this was Bizzarro round, I don't normally vote for a lot of the teams I voted for but their heritage designs were incredible

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

Wow. Them Hornets. Actually making blue and green look amazing.

I figured I should put some explanation into my, slightly blatant ripoff of Hawthorn.

Basically if is a ripoff. The Bass Strait Swordfish were only created in 2013/14, so the heritage is a tribute to Australian Rules Football in Tasmania. Hawthorn, along with their front of guernsey sponsor, are known for playing games and spreading the sport into Tasmania. As such, the Swordfish are using the same design that Hawthorn used when they started to play in the state, as well as the Tasmania AFL symbol over the top of the numbers

I'm surprised you're not winning by more. What you're going up against is a plain white kit with plain black shorts...

It's pretty much Germany V Hawthorn.

I feel like a lot of people used 'heritage' as an excuse to roll out lazy designs. Recoloured hoops/sashes/stripes with a monogram?

Please.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I meant to post this in the hub thread in the lead up to this round

In the 70's, with the invention of colour television, the Ballarat Diggers (known colloquially at the time as the Disco Jivers) moved to brighter colours and a simplified chevron design. This included bright yellow shorts, which were seen as supremely desirable amongst fashionistas. Ballarat continued to wear this guernsey until you were roughly 7 years old, making this a particularly nostalgic Heritage Round guernsey.

I made the WT logo purely because the sash by itself was really boring. I was just going to do what lmach and E92 did and post last year's design on the new template, but then I remembered the regular savage beatings that concentric circle design copped. Maybe next year i'll wheel it out again for a heritage round.

Green and Blue go. There are so many good looking Green and Blue teams. There seems to be some sort of stigma against them but IMO they work pretty regularly, especially with those shades.

It was a very, very bold move to submit a guernsey without a design on it. As Stewart2Austin says, in a competition like this if you're going to do a simple or commonly used design, you're going to need to make the template/extras an absolute knockout.

Extremely bold. Yet it's still every chance of winning

Wow, I hadn't seen the score. I don't really get it.

Plain is a design, what are you talking about?
I don't mind the template, it's nice. Especially after he changed the number font! And he's resized it as well, which means less noticeable edges.

 

[Andonis1997]

Jeez, I just saw the Miners V Owls score and I have to say Canberra are one of the teams that I didn't expect at any time to be on zero votes. What a design though, Gibbsy .

 

[El_Scorcho]

The Owls have been a bit unlucky here, going up against an opponent with basically the same design, but with more vibrant colours and on a better template.

I'll take my plain white kit and hide in a corner now.....

By the way, it's an homage to the old German kits which were plain white plus black trim

Don't let us bother you, you're only one vote behind. The crisp clean design and obvious German inspiration were a good idea and are getting you votes.

Everyone votes differently, obviously.

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

Lol no not bothered. Honestly, I'm one of the weaker designers here, I do this for fun as a hobby, and just enjoy the thrill and, honrstly, privilidge of having my desogns alongside the absolutely amazing works you see in this comp

I think it's purely because the Mount Isa design is winning as well because it looks like a "heritage" guernsey. The grey and blue combination didn't scream "heritage" but "fauxback" in my opinion.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I think the all white Eagles jumper just looks classy, and it'd look classy on the field. Ties in pretty well with the home, as well.

And I'd say that the Owls are struggling because the Miners have a very similar design, just with a nicer set of colours
