Discussion The West Coast Eagles Guernsey Thread

[FXD_]

Was thinking it'd be good to have one thread that discusses everything about West Coast guernseys? With the 25th year jumper and debate about changing to a yellow clash, and now this news:

The Bankwest logo will make its debut on the Eagles’ football guernsey at the beginning of 2012.

It's not the Eagles without HJ's on the guernsey
Bankwest logo looks tacky there but hopefully they will ditch the white background as you'd expect. I remember there were a few different iterations of it on Freo's guernsey.

what happened to HJ'S??

bankwest logo look's crap aswell

 

[The Made Guy]

Welcome aboard to the R&I Bank.

 

[Silent Alarm]

That's just a preliminary mock-up. The logo will inevitably change.

 

[SA1NTER]

I liked the yellow West Coast jumper, looked retro IMO.

hopefully, always hated how we have a white box around our logo's, should just colour it to suit the jumper like we had in the late 90s and how fremantle have their bask sponsors.

Surely it would be something like this?

or have no orange and just white or yellow letters

That looks pretty good.

no offence FXD but hopefully they design it better than that on the away so it blends in more

 

[FXD_]

No offence taken, I'm working with MS Paint here.

I think the front logo works best though, with the 'W'. It's the same size as the HJ burger. If they used the whole 'bankwest' logo it would look too small and get lost in my opinion.

 

[E92_]

they need to make the wings a bit bigger so the logos aren't in half blue half yellow, the 25th year jumper had it perfect. imo the bankwest 'W' would look really good in the wing and coloured in royal blue.

I had another go at a new Eagles logo. I'm happier with it than the last one but I'm still not sure about it. I'll see what your fresh eyes see before changing anything.

I think the days of sponsors being willing to blend in are long gone.

My problem with the head being gold is that it looks more like an American eagle than a wedge-tailed eagle. It's OK when it's a heavily-stylised head like our original logo, but the more realistic the face the more I think it loses that aspect of what our name is meant to represent - WA's biggest bird of prey.

yeh the only teams I can think of that have it is fremantle and brisbane

 

[Cory]

yeh the only teams I can think of that have it is fremantle and brisbane

and collingwood..

[E92_]

yeh but im pretty sure they have a red box on their away and they have a red/blue box on both jumpers but the pies have done good with their current home.

Yeah it's been an issue from the start of developing that one. I don't want to add new colours but I'd still like it to look like a wedged-tail (it may be why ochre was added, even though the current eagle is still very abstract).

Trying my own definitely makes me appreciate the current one a lot more.

 

[Smeagle]

Bittersweet about losing HJ's - a pretty tacky, dare I say "bogan"ish brand for a big, "chardonnay-sipping" club (well, according to our freinds down the road). We've also been without them before, they didn't feature on our jumpers during the Ochre period.

But they've featured in all our premiership wins, and as Gibbsy said it's been a partnership like Liverpool had with Carlsberg - easily identifiable, though even the Reds have moved on now.

Oh well, new sponsor leaves a slight opening for a new design?

 

[Mr Eagle]

You do recall what happened last time we lost HJ's as a sponsor, right?

Yeah... THAT happened.

 

[E92_]

hopefully smeagle, they should look at all the sales they've got from the 25th year jumper and make it into the clash.

Was a blessing....
