The 2004 premiership jumper sold pretty well this year didn't it? Maybe they're listening to the fans.

Hopefully port change their jumper back to the 2004 version.

It's much better then what they're currently wearing. And they would also look less like a Victorian club, which is always a bonus.

If there is no lion on this clash jumper. Then we have officially screwed up.

From the Lions website:

http://www.lions.com.au/news/2014-10-27/2015-clash-jumper

"The design of the 2015 Brisbane Lions Clash Jumper, which will be unveiled on November 10th, pays homage to two of the most successful periods in the Club’s combined history.

Based loosely on early Fitzroy designs which had chamois leather collars and lace-up fronts, panels on its front give the jumper and the wearer an “armour-plaited” appearance accentuated further by the body-hugging material used in today’s garments. The colour-way also serves to provide a connection to our unique merged past while the introduction of white in line with AFL specifications, plus an angled keyline reminiscent of the “vee” on the Bears’ jumper of the mid 1990s, gives it a “traditionalistic but contemporary” appearance."

I'm guessing it'll be all white with the maroon funnel yoke and blue keyline, just like above but replacing the gunmetal grey with white

Not at all, the clash jumper is often a chance to experiment and break from the regular design. I think if done right, this will look very nice

Yawn

The lace up part only works when there's actual lace ups

This isn't experimenting. This is just our club finding another way to appease the Fitzroy Faithful.

I honestly don't find anything from the bears era in that Guernsey. Considering the Fitzroy Guernsey also had the "vee" in it.

And a clash jumper only works when it actually prevents a clash.

 

[akkaps]

A very rough, poor attempt at the most likely outcome.

I think they may add the Fitzroy Lion to that.

Horrible

So is the AFL rule on clash jumpers, that it has to white? or can it be just a light colour??

 

[MKMatty]

Maybe their adding white cuffs, white collar and number panel to the home jumper?

I think that would look quite good actually. Would make sense if nothing is happening to the clash, you can't exactly add white to white now can you. ^_^

Someone make a mock up? Or I'll just do it later.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Wonder if they'll use the lion on the chest like Fitzroy?

Predominantly white.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Predominantly white.

So I'm guessing the Lions attempted to get away with a silver jumper? You know, like Essendon, but it was tinned?

I still don't think it'll turn out that badly, the Lions might take some liberties with historical accuracy but they never entirely butcher a Heritage design. It might be slightly disappointing that it's not completely new, but considering the jumpers we see that are completely new (Eagles/Hawks/Crows clashes of the late 2000s, the current ones from the latter, and I personally think the Suns one is really naff), it's probably safer to see history as the inspiration. It'll use club colours, it'll pay homage to a club that should still exist (this place deserves a footy club), and it also gives another unique design to the comp.

Has been mentioned previously - bears yellow.

 

[SEQ AFL fan]

I'm pretty disappointed already. I would've loved to see a yellow (or as they call it 'gold') clash Guernsey with a Maroon collar, Lion, and yoke. :-(

 

[MIKE85]

So that all but rules out our yellow peril as a clash in the future

 

[J_Simmo]

I had a little go. Tricky with only my left hand. But anyway.. Will it look something like this?

 

[whatboutbob]

Fair to say you're excited about your design then?




Ribbing aside, I don't mind it.

Might depend on who the teams clash with. Since our major clash is with the Dogs we might just get away with a peril clash. Keep the faith!

 

[Timewaster]

It sounds like Brisbane will be running out in something more like this old Melbourne jumper?

They should have kept their branding consistent and included the lion.

They may use the lion in some way. We dont know yet

Sure they will, there'll be little lion watermarks all over it!

We used a similar style guernsey a couple years back as a Fitzroy heritage guernsey. Looked great imo, and I think the clash version will be much improved on our previous clash jumper.

The Lion could still be added in some fashion, have to wait til 10.11.14 to find out
