Worst Saints jumper ever??????

[CursingFijian]

Destined to make the Mardi Gras parade...

 

[gringo2011]

Our jumper for indigenous rnd.
Bloody Hell this thing hurts my eyes.
The circles at the top look like 2 hypnotising boobs
Sorry but it gets a big from me.

I didn't notice the boobs until you said -it now I can't not see boobs on it. I think I maybe having an epileptic fit from scrolling the picture down too.

 

[stfan]

Is this against the Brions next week?

Yes

 

[Ekomaira]

I don't think it's that bad

 

[Verdun66]

Concerns me more how we play in that jumper to be honest. Not permanent.

I can spot a boob from a mile away.
Gets me many slaps on the back of my head from my better half

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Other than inferred imagery, it's really not a bad design at all.

If it was on a bit of paper and done by little kids on a Spirogragh id agree mate

But not on a footy jumper.

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Just noticed that St Mark had already posted this about the jumper in the media thread
This is from his post which explains a bit more about the design.




This limited edition, club exclusive guernsey was designed by Marcus Lee and will be worn against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba in Round 9 on Sunday 31 May.

Guernsey Design: Six Boonwurrung clans
This design concept represents the six clans of the Boonwurrung that now live in harmony. They are known as Yaluk-ut weelam, Ngurrak weelam, Mayune baluk, Boonwurrung baluk, Yawen djeera and Yaluk baluk. The design features six concentric circles that symbolically refers to the geographic layout of the Boonwurrung Bay region which extends along the northern, eastern and southern shorelines of Port Phillip, the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port and its two main islands, and land to the south-east down to Wilsons Promontory.

The Artist
Born and raised in Darwin NT, Marcus Lee is a descendant of the Karajarri people and is proud of his Aboriginal heritage. It was inevitable that those roots would pull at his art strings and take him and his design team into the evolving realm of communicating cultural diversity. This also brings with it the scope to participate within the commercial community helping to improve the living standards of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.



Good to hear there is a story behind the design and isnt just about Spirograph Boobies

 

[The Punter]

Wait: did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

There is always an artist who hails from or has association with some manner of peoples in remote Australia, and the art will always the focus either of the dreaming or of said peoples. Or Fletcher being 40 and playing 796 games from his wheelchair masquerading as legs.

Because let's face it, going back as far as stories go, boobies aren't a big thing.

 

[The Punter]

This is the Brisbane one

Maybe don't have a big night Saturday night then watch the game.

Wearing their mums dressing gowns.

 

[King_Steele]

I like it.

Better than last year's IMO.

I actually usually like Aboriginal Art
But to me the Bris jumper looks an old fashioned rug on your Nanna's floor

And like i said ours looks like a spirograph pic.
I think we should use our old colors of red,yellow& black which are obviously the same as the Aboriginal Flag to do something which fits in with both??

Like the idea about the colors.
Maybe we could hypnotize the opposition!?

 

[Jack Stevens]

I don't reckon it'll look to bad when actually worn in a game. It probably would have looked better if the middle two "panels" were like the outside ones (solid colour with white lines, rather than white with coloured lines), but then I guess the whole coming together as one symbolism wouldn't be as strong.


Doesn't look too bad on Jack

Reminds me of an antique sofa.

I guess in the end as long as our boys play well in it, and the Aboriginal community gets a bit of pride from the AFL acknowledging their rich input into our great game then it doesnt bloody matter what it looks like.
Id be pretty happy to have a win in it

It reminds me of those photos when all the international leaders get together and they get someone to make them all weird shirts that look like a dress made from curtain fabric. I will take ours over that any day. Hopefully the strobe boobs will hypnotise Brisbane.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Looks alright on. What's that capital R on the breast?

It's the Recognise logo. Recognise is an organisation that focuses on Indigenous people in sport (or something along those lines)

It's a campaign to recognize aboriginals in the constitution. Has nothing to do with sport.

 

[Winners Only]

Absolutely agree I have seen a lot of aboriginal art in my time and they are generally quite engaging, but that design on our jumper is shocking! Who approves this stuff do they any idea?,

 

[bsk2002]

Geez I hope no one got paid to come up with that design. There's some seriously awesome aboriginal art, and our colours aren't too far off the aboriginal flag's colours.... massive let down.

I know an aboriginal close to the club may have come up with it, but still.....



I would have just aligned the following with our tri panels
