Think it's gonna be a club by club thing. Richmonds look good thought could be bigger. Brisbanes just look s**t (and I'm watching Fox's upscaled version). Just a fuzz... Wrong colouring.
Weren't we going to see player's names on the back of their guernseys???

This isn't done for viewers. They're doing it so kids can buy guernseys with their favourite players names. A big untapped source of revenue.
I am watching it on FF as well and If i really really squint, put on some glasses and cover one eye - it still looks like s**t.

I thought it was a good idea. But they are just impossible to read. They'll keep it though as it will help sell jumpers

Way too small. Would be fine if they were bigger

I confirm my judgement on the disliking of names on guernseys.
You cant even see them unless the camera is close up and it wouldn't be any different being there live.

Need to be the same size as the number to be of any benefit

If you look at a soccer jersey template, the names have a nice curve and allow the font to be bigger.
Bold white letters are the only way that it will work, still don't think it has any benefit at all.

More than half of the close-ups are from the front anyway.

They def need to be bigger, but we dont have enough moments in the telecast to get a backshot of a player during play
Everybody is always moving
Make them bigger, maybe less bold

******* s**t idea. Even worse execution.

Why do you guys think this is a TRIAL round?
They'll see what works, what doesn't, they'll fix it and eventually it'll be common place and you'll all wonder why it took so long to bring it in.
And they WILL bring it in next year.

I need an explaination??
So all people who have a problem with this little issue have NO other problems in their lives?
Literally none?
Think about it...

Exactly what is happening, a stupid idea being exposed as a stupid, pointless, mess.
I know its only an aesthetic thing but seriously AFL, just leave the game alone, this telecast makes null and void the GC/GWS copout that names will benefit new fans.
If the point is to sell more jumpers which i think is more likely, just let the clubs start selling them with official numbers on..

You sure? Ok
They look stupid
They are not neccesary
They provide nothing at all
Most laughable is that they have been implemented by the afl, for the tv audience, yet they still allow SD broadcasts
They have more place on the back of a jumper than intials or dates...
You are literally the worst poster and the word does not mean what you think it means.

Since the early 20th century, literally has been widely used as an intensifier meaning “in effect, virtually,” a sense that contradicts the earlier meaning “actually, without exaggeration”:

People complaining about the inability to read the names are silly.
You can't make out sponsor logos during the action but companies still pay big coin to have their logos on the guernseys. Why do you think that is?
