What's the deal with this? Fremantle's training strip has a slightly different version of the 2016 ISC collar, except it's the version that actually looks finished and not like a half baked idea. No faux collar flaps, no disjoint back. Looks fantastic.
Is it just me or are the players wearing two different collars in this photo?
Eugh, the more I look at that photo the more it annoys me. Pretty sure JZ is just wearing blue socks.

Good spot, it looks like it (middle three are different to the end two). The far left and far right ones seem in line with the 2016 version which was shown online ages ago, it's got:Is it just me or are the players wearing two different collars in this photo?
– A lower, more scooped collar that's almost flat at the bottom and much wider. It's got a little rivet at the bottom
– The middle strip extends a higher
– It has the thin white strip going across the collar, probably at the seam, right where the stripes end and presumably the panels change
– Canterbury logo seems higher and the logos, words, et al aren't cramped and stretched smaller
– The jock tag is more to the sider, only just hitting the end stripe. The old one goes well across that stripe
– Is the Mazda logo bigger?
Also, just me, or does this really bring out a bit of a gut? Is it just because it's a colour on a white base, as opposed to the Hawks and Pies jumpers?

Swallow, Ziebell and Macmillan were all in last year's photo but since Higgins is a new addition they re-shot he and Thompson for a bit of symmetry.
So the first three are wearing the 2015 jumper, the two at the back are wearing this year's. If you look closely, you can see that's actually not Jamie Macmillan's right elbow. Petrie was in that position last year and they've obviously tried to make it look realistic so he has, yknow, two elbows, but it looks weird.

They just haven't coloured in the smaller (inner) half of the two-part shoulder panel to match the collar. You can see in the last shot that it's still disjointed at the back but now it's 'too much shoulder' rather than 'too much collar'.

That's like North Melbourne releasing some "Norf" merchandise. That would be great.

Do North Melbourne fans embrace Norf affectionately?

They should.
Norf being embraced by North fans would be peak Norf.

Speaking of boganese, Port fans always complain that Collingwood's existence took away their Prison Bars.
However, Collingwood's existence also took away their bogan status.
I don't think anyone but Crows fans talk about how bogan they were perceived to be. My old man lived right near Port Adelaide the suburb as a kid, lucky him, and he said their supporters were absolute, rancid ferals and that was their general perception in the SANFL.

Yeah, Port Adelaide supporters totally don't have that stereotype attached to them still

The average footy fan in Melbourne doesn't seem to heap it on them at all.
The important thing is: Why are they floating?Is it just me or are the players wearing two different collars in this photo?
Yeah, while I certainly view Port as 'bogan', it's certainly not the first club that comes to mind.
Your average punter in Melbourne doesn't heap s**t on any one but other Vic teams.

I thought Surprisingly Good Insurance was like a motto for SGIO. They use it on their website.
That's how they are/were/aren't/weren't/are once again going to introduce it.
