Could you replace the eagle head with something else?

I'm not sure, maybe an eagle head that doesn't make the wings as small as they are?

EDIT: That wouldn't really he replacing though

 

[Impunity!]

A big spunking utensil and balls?

[wing it]

Has someone got a mock up of these? I like the idea, buy I'm not sure if it would look as good

[MKMatty]

That looks incredibly boring :/

 

[InTheWings]

Replace it with a minature picture of the tri-panel guernsey, just for sentimentality.


On a serious note, I like the new logo and would be happy to see it on any home winged guernsey.

we need the bigger wings though, like the ones on the 92 20th anniversary!

I just googled for the jumper, and came across the West Coast release from their website back in 2012. One line grabbed my attention...

"...Glass modelling what is sure to be a popular item with fans."

A popular item? I wonder why... Surely can't be because of the history that jumper and eagle head contain. Our club deserves a better image then it gets with us running out in the tri-panel and that horrendous white jumper

What about that monogram that keeps appearing on merch?

No idea what you're talking about. Link or photo of this monogram?

Not the best pic but you get the idea

 

[pantskyle]

Why can't we just use exactly what we did in the early 90s?

 

[QS]

Because the club need to pretend they made the right call in 1999/2000. I think it's been a long enough passage of time for their ego not to be damaged. Whatever happened to our inside man Schismd ?

I didn't like those wings on the 92 one, they were too straight, if that makes sense. Becasue the old guernsey's had the wings meeting almost at the same point, deep wings worked fine. With the new collar (08-13) they wings had to start further apart, so then making the wings deeper looked weird.

With this new puma template, we could in theory, start the wings at a point and have them deeper, but more of a curve, rather than straight down.

Yeh the new template can improve the wings. Even still though the larger wings regardless of the 'straightness' look 100 times better than piddly baby eagle wings we have now.

As in a WCE in the Carlton CFC style? Could work. Can someone make one up?

A slightly better pic of the monogram on the sleeve of the college jacket released last year

Please no monograms.

West Coast jumpers have Always had an Eagles head of some description on the jumper.

We can't claim we want the traditional jumper design, but suddenly want a Mongram instead of an Eagle head.

As a side note, Dig Deep email has tri-panel jumpers - looks like no Yellow Peril this year (not that I actually expected there would be)

 

[FXD_]

What madness is this people asking for no eagles head on an Eagles guernsey?

this be true but i'd prefer wings to an eagles head if it works.
