2012 Guernsey

[Hank93]

As you noted in another post, it's all about the money - you noted the need of the TV networks for a red vs colour option. What you forgot to consider is that the club turns these designs over on a regular basis deliberately - not because the design has failed, but because doing so maximises their ability to market replica jumpers to the fans.

The club has a history of keeping most of the away jumpers for 3-4 years, noting that the AFL mandates a minimum period of 2 years. 3-4 years is long enough for a particular design to reach saturation point in the market, after which the sales begin to fall off because everyone (who wants one) already has a jumper of that design. Releasing a new jumper refreshes the market and sales go back up again.

Rest assured, we won't have to worry about the white abomination for too long - the only question is what they'll replace it with.

Good point. The reebok contract runs out at the end of 2012, so if we get a new apparel sponsor, then a new away jumper is likely. As long as it doesn't have the Raptor head on it, I'm happy.

This is it:

Would need a bit of tweaking though. The bottom half would have to be white as well. You would end up with something like this which I mocked up years ago: (ignore the socks... don't know what i was thinking! )

I didn't mind it at the time, but I'm now against white jumpers for us. I think it should be the inverted home guernsey with yellow as the base, or the 05 heritage. HAS to be a yellow jumper IMO.

Here`s a challenge take the stripes off and add the LOGO on the bottom
R hand side the crow flying and have the tri colour proceeding to go around
and across the back on the white strip

Out of interest, excluding things like heritage and tribute guernseys, how many different guernseys have Colllingwood and Essendon worn over the past 50 years?

Seriously, we need to leave it alone. Having a new guernsey every other year might be good for marketing, but it is not good for being taken seriously as a football club.

Collingwood 4, essendon 2.

Everyone else plays around with away/clash strips. Dont see a problem. We've had the same home jumper for 20 years. West Coast on the other hand have had numerous jumpers, home and away. Hasnt hurt them either.

 

[Red Crow]

Actually that ain't bad (except the socks), could potentially clash with Geelong or Carlton (more so for the players - that micro second glance, you see blue and white - so perhaps remove the bottom blue hoop !)

Yeah i did them cos I didn't want white socks, but still wanted a lighter colour. They're hideous i don't mind admitting.

I don't think it would really clash with Carlton at all, and we wouldn't even wear it against Geelong anyway because their jumper is predominately white already. Infact, the AFL should make them wear white shorts at home against us and we wear navy. They do it for games against other teams - notably Collingwood - and it makes the contrast much better while still allowing both teams to at least wear their traditional/preferred jumper.

I'm sorry I don't follow what you mean at all

I like Mullygrub's yellow design, but still needs some tinkering. Maybe just have the OLD crow logo on the front in the middle. Simplify it a little. Other than that im no bloody fashion designer!

 

[Crows#1]

I'm with all you people who mentioned the yellow. Bring back that yellow heritage guernsey as is. After all, we are the team for ALL South Australians.
Regarding any new away strip, I tried to get onto Crowmania this morning, and it was a dud link. Maybe a whole new website coming?

Sorry, what I was suggesting if you take the HOOPS with Tri colours off,
and replace them with the CROW, Flying holding the ADELAIDE sign bottom Right Hand corner, and have the tri colours coming off the crow proceeding around the back of the Gurnsey

 

[scoota10]

This is what I would like to see something along the lines for CLASH GUERNSEY
I wonder if some one could repruduce it in GRAPHIC art form please, and feel free to make changes, EG RED GURNSEY or YELLOW

 

[The Big Sauce]

I'm one of the few it seems that actually has grown to love our current away strip. Although that being said I wouldn't mind something like the quoted image. That with navy socks would look pretty decent as well.

I still think we'll keep this guernsey for a few years before the eventual re do.

[Slippery Pete]

Is it just me or is there one less hoop at the top?

2 missing hoops I would say. They have just ****** it up big time.

Why can't they just ******* leave it alone?

Douchebags.

 

[PykeDream]

This is how they compare. I think the 2012 ones would look better when actually worn, rather than on a stand.

 

[PykeDream]

Looks like we're no longer the 'Camry Crows' either, the SA dealership network must have decided that just Toyota was sufficient.

 

[SugarShane]

That looks worse than those ripoffs you get at K-mart and the like.

 

[Gets!]

That looks worse than those ripoffs you get at K-mart and the like.

That was my exact thought. Looks like the 'Best & Less' guernseys...

 

[Slippery Pete]

Maybe it's a joke?

 

[Footypie32]

The 'designer' is probably laughing all the way to the bank! I wonder if the players like the clash jumper?

 

[Smoooothy]

MY EYES!!!!!

 

[Punchy Bassett]

And our off field failures continue.....

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

In compassion to last year clash jumper, 2012 looks better. I like it much better.

However, the home jumper looks hideous and whoever said it looked like the K Mart special is correct. Take the Reebok away and its a dead ringer.

Another moment for the....'what were they thinking' when that got approved.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Hang on, isn't the clash jumper exactly the same as last year's? I had to look close to notice any difference

It is apart from the Toyota logo, and it's still fugly!
