Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Just talking about this - it does seem a little paler, and the charcoal numbers seem to stand out more against it?
Would assume that’s for the Mardi Gras in Sydney tonight.Sydney wearing pride round socks too?
What if you don't play footy but just enjoy watching it?because there is no clash
if you cannot see the big red sash that goes all around the jumper then you are colourblind and shouldn't be playing footy
Presumably because the grounds are not stadiums and the cameras aren't on the high level we usually seeNot jumpers but I can't understand why JLT and NAB are happy with their on-field logos being so flat that they are completely illegible.
At Moreton Bay you can make out the JLT stuff on the near wing (but it's not great) but the NAB on the far wing is totally pointless.
Oh yeah I get that, but surely in discussions "so we want the JLT Community Series logo on the near wing and the JLT logo on the far wing" and "We want the AFLW logo on the near wing and the NAB logo on the far wing, and we'll have both on the far wing if JLT has a game there too" someone woulda gone "wellll, you're not gonna see it very well coz the camera will be 5m lower to the ground than at the MCG" and they woulda thought of a better way of doing things.Presumably because the grounds are not stadiums and the cameras aren't on the high level we usually see
So do MelbourneRichmond have a pointless white outline on our numbers
It just looks amatuer.
This is still the preseason for the elite level of the sport isn't it? The grounds still need to be a certain standard.It is the JLT, they're playing at grounds that normally host juniors and local footy. It's not going to be professional
I don't see NFL preseason games or Cricket World Cup warmup matches looking amatuer just because it's preseason. If I were the guys paying the money, I'd want the logo visible.
Yeah they redo they logos about a week from the preseason so by the time a team is playing there it looks all professional. That said though, NFL preseason isn't that serious compared to AFL, usually just a handful of stars play in the first two games and then may come in for week 3 if at all. Basically just to give the 2nd string players some game time and loosen the joints.The NFL and CWC pre-season matches are a lot more serious though. They're still played at the big stadiums, unlike the AFL who plays pre-season matches at a local footy ground somewhere in the sticks
Think about how for the logo on the broadcast side (the main season one is stretched a little btw) the camera is looking down on it much more than the one 50m further away on the far side of the square. Similar for the Telstra logos; they'd have a bit of stretch on them but nowhere near as much as the one on the far side so the brain ignores it as soon as it recognises the logo.I always found it weird how the closer side with the AFL logo is flat and eligible on TV and anywhere on the ground, but the far one (sponsor's logo) is so squashed that you can't make anything out at the ground. Does the 25 metre distance actually distort things that much? And why are the farther Telstra 50-arc logos, which basically sit in line with the wing sponsor, also flat but fine on tele?
GMHBA will still have flat-ass logos because the AFL doesn't get the JLT logos stretched to create the correct proportions to correct the aspect. It'll still look better because the camera will be higher but it won't be looking like the stuff in-season. I doubt it's the local groundstaff painting the logos anyway; it'd be professional signwriters.Also, the skill-set of the local footy ground painters (and the equipment they have available) is probably pushed to the limit drawing those kinds of logos. When Geelong plays at GMHBA on Thursday, I'm almost entirely certain the logos will be AFL-standard
There was a close up of a crows dude in the crowd wearing a 2013 Puma Adelaide guernsey just then with an Adelaide player infront of him on the fence. The Puma colours looked way more vibrant and ISC looked washed out in comparison
ISC is currently the most washed out looking manufacturer in the league
not as good as they could be if a 2013 puma retail in the crowd is more vibrantYeah nah, our colours are fine thanks

Pretty big gap between the number (36) and sponsor. Seems larger than normal.
I can’t be the only one that reckons ISC are a little amateurish. Things like this, that weird low cut collar and (certainly with Adelaide 2017) a weird shaped and long jumper. Nowhere near BLK or Nike bad but not that great either.Seems ISC are doing the 2 digit number-small thing again. Bit like Jack Darling's number 27 last year. Although that still does look like a huge gap. Looks amateurish.
