...a bit of trivia for you. Andrew Balkwill played just one game in his AFL career. Round 3 1997 for Carlton against Adelaide at Princes Park. This was the pale blue M&M game. So the poor bugger can say he played AFL footy for Carlton, but he can't say he got to wear the famous old dark blue guernsey .The Bulldogs' strip tops Carlton's blue M&M's jumper for selling the club's soul.

Surprised this one hasn't scored a mention. Most people hated it but I really like the lightening stroke design.
It's an accurate replication of that past guernsey, what do you want them to do? Alter their own design from the late 1800s/early 1900s?Port also have a history of rolling out poor looking guernseys like their 2004 heritage guernsey
And numerous horrible clash guernseys as mentioned earlier in the thread.
They the big three of bad jumpers.Gold Coast's just for that logo. If they changed or removed that and made no other changes, then... hmm... I dunno, they're all pretty good. Probably GWS or, at a stretch, Hawthorn.
Navy blue with white works.I'm seeing a lot of hate for GC's, and a lot of love for Carlton's over on the other thread. And yet both are essentially a plain guernsey with a logo on the front.
I’ve never understood why Port can’t wear the prison bars, black white with say teal edges or a teal stripe above the white horizontal bar, or teal inside the white bars.I think the problem with Ports guernsey is the same as the name Power. It just doesn't feel right for a club with a lot of tradition that should be known as the Magpies and play in prison bars.
I get the politics and that they had to give it up to get a gig in the AFL, but it's almost like the club didn't care when they couldn't have have what would have been right.
At least Port's current clash strip is an "up your's" to the AFL's stupid selective teams must wear white clashes policy that the NRL also use but to a worse extent. And those XBlades style side panels ruin the Hawks away kit. Looks like a failed Gold Coast Suns concept guernsey
Port also have a history of rolling out poor looking guernseys like their 2004 heritage guernsey

But they still don't top Carlton (twice) and the Bulldogs selling their guernseys to companies and cheating cyclists and in the former's case it's colours but at the end of the day, I found out today that the Blues and the Dogs have never lost in their corporate/cheating cyclists sponsored guernseys

True fact, in 1986 Brian Taylor was the only Magpie who had five stripes on the front of his guernsey.
Not even the ruckman had five stripes.
Bristle was so fat he needed five stripes while everyone else just needed three.
It's an accurate replication of that past guernsey, what do you want them to do? Alter their own design from the late 1800s/early 1900s?
Defeats the purpose of what was Heritage Round.
The Giants one is bad, but nowhere near as bad as GC. Horrible logo and given that almost every club has either yellow or a shade of red as a colour, they clash with almost everyone.Gold Coast and GWS. Perfect examples of the combination of new age marketing w***ery and trying to be different and edgy.
The result is two gimmicky guernseys in a sport with many great traditional style jumpers in more than just the AFL but also state and local leagues.
Sure, I'll pay that. The royal mixed with the magenta didn't work. But my point is, what other option did they have when they chose that design? You can't touch it and improve a heritage design, because it's meant to be an accurate representation of the pastMagenta and Blue, even as a heritage jumper in my opinion don't fit together, but Port have definitely rolled out worse, in particular clash guernseys until the re-brand based off a Planet Teal guernsey.
I dont mind current Freo one, it's not great but it's acceptable and not offensive to the eyes.The Giants one is bad, but nowhere near as bad as GC. Horrible logo and given that almost every club has either yellow or a shade of red as a colour, they clash with almost everyone.
But Fremantle, Fremantle. They start out with a jumper with red, green and white. Colours are fine but they put it with the stupidest design in history. Great colours that could have a dominant green/bit of red combo that clashes with no-one. They then change to a boring but functional design in purple, the worst sporting colour there is. Except maybe Teal. Worse even than poo and wee. Old colours and new design would have been boring but would have at least worked.
Honourable historic mention goes to the Brisbane Koalas and the Brisbane Paddle Pop lion.

I knew about and should have mentioned the purple at the start. The four colour technicolor yawn. And an anchor around the neck. Comedy gold, but not what you want on a football jumper.If you'd spent 5 seconds on Google you'd know we always had purple (oh the horror!) on our jumper. If you're going to trash something then it helps to get the most basic facts straight. And it was still better than West Coast's ochre monstrosity
