hey it looks good to me

Could this be a hint?

^^ Wouldn't mind the above - especially with the EFC monogram. The VFL players warm up in similar designed training t-shirt's don't they?

 

[mad_monkey_j]

I certainly hope not. They look awful.

I think everyone is missing something here. It sounds like we've had a bit of a 'win' with our discussions with the AFL. If it was something as simple as an inverted sash then it wouldn't have taken 'a few months of discussions'.

Maybe the AFL has finally allowed Essendon to wear a predominantly red jumper as an away guernsey? The AFL initially classified red as a dark colour and therefore unacceptable as a clash jumper. That was the reason why weren't allowed to invert the colours and had to pick a light colour.

What? Where is that from? I don't like the fat sash
Oh well. Still tons better than the grey one.

Our normal jumper inversed would be perfect. I do like our heritage logo though.

Thin the sash and make the logo a bit smaller.

Winner. It's red and black so who cares.

 

[Big Fresh]

Fat sash looks way worse than the grey jumper. I'd also take the grey over white or inverted colours. Red with black border for the sash could work.

is this our off season recruiting? boys need to hit the weights room

 

[The Prosecutor]

Picture was taken from EFC Facebook, with this being the JHA.

 

[Pweter]

I don't see the need for having the sash so wide. I'd prefer a thinner sash and have the collar/sleeves lined with black.

At the end of the day, no matter what it looks like, if the club stick with it for a prolonged period of time we'll get used to it.

I wouldn't be against any new design making that quite prominent, looks classy as hell.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Could this be a hint?

personally I reckon that looks awesome. The sash could be a bit thinner, but I don't mind the aesthetic at all, and as for the EFC logo, why we don't make more use of that I have no idea, it's so good

 

[LeeARM]

Could this be a hint?

Very deliberately put up to see how supporters would react to a red jumper with a black sash. I highly doubt they'd use the exact same design with a fat sash, big monogram in the centre and the sash not going over the back.

Left to right: Bewick, Neagle, Daniher, Wallis?

 

[Rack Watts]

Could this be a hint?

Social media has exploded! Everyone wants this as the clash.

 

[Rack Watts]

Looks incredible.

 

[Marley10]

This one would be the best if they want to maintain the heritage jumper IMO. Would be one of the best away jumpers in the AFL.

Don't think the black writing would help.

Let me preface by saying I don't agree with clash guernseys in principle. It's a load of wank concocted by the AFL to make more money through merchandising. Clashes are simply avoided through different colour shorts, but of course nobody wants to by the latest pair of shorts.

I don't mind the one you describe as atrocious. I also don't mind fat sash.

Just on this, it's important to understand why this is an issue now

In the past, the issue was ensuring players could differentiate each other sufficiently on the field.

This is no longer the case

Last year we had an afl approved clash jumper which the afl has just re approved as acceptable that off season. However just days before the wce and port game they made the home team change to "optimise the viewing experience"

This tells us two things

1) it's rules on the run yet again from the afl

2) it's TV driving this

This is important for you guys, because it's not about tradition or watching the game live. It's about creating a strong colour contrast so your girlfriend can easily differentiate the two teams on TV


I'll give you guys the same advice I gave ours last year. If C7 is pushing this, it will happen. As such, better the club own the change and come up with something that is bullet proof (let's be honest, both our clubs took the minimalist approach on this), but also something that respects the club culture

If you don't, the afl will just do what happened at the lions or crows, and force you to have a stupid white jumper with a friggin cartoon plane on it

 

[Burzum]

AC Milan is irrelevant to discussion because the laws enforced by UEFA state that: "In order to minimise colour clashes, a team's first-choice and second-choice kit must differ visibly and contrast with each other."

Also, you're comparing a team that's apart of a 18 team league to a 454 team union

 

[Ashton Agar]

I don't mind the grey jumper that much anymore, I've gotten used to it. I'd prefer it over an inverted colours kit.

 

[Resistor]

What a complete load of utter nonsense

a really shallow way of looking at it.

is as petty as it comes.

I'm sorry that my ideas challenge your views and that you cannot accept that someone can think differently.

--------

I just think that the club should open up this to a vote instead of doing things behind doors. But to determine whether a jumper is good these days is whether you would buy it. That's exactly why they are doing it.

 

[Doss]

I'll return to what I always say...

Clashes really weren't an issue once. It's been whipped up into one.
