AFLW - GC SUNS licence approved for 2020 #GetSet

[Jen2310]

Now its waiting to draft day to see any other girls to draft for the rest of the list.

 

[The Victorian]

So where abouts would the Suns girls play?

If its going to be an 8 week season next year that would be 4 home games and 4 away games.

There is already one game gone to Mackay and talk of another one to Darwin..

That would lead to having 2 more games on the Coast. That could include a Q-Clash at home (maybe Metricon Stadium?). If there were more games in the season I would think that this would be a golden chance to become a community team and play matches at community grounds right across the coast.

 

[kreglze]

Since Metricon is being used for cricket this summer, I imagine our games may be played elsewhere.

 

[Jen2310]

I don't see why they cant work around the cricket.

I thought it was Fankhauser Reserve unless they utilise the training ground next to the stadium

Just no running across the pitches.

Right.
And I guess BBL wouldn't be finished by then. I hope they play the pies in melbourne so I can see them play.

Ive heard news that the fixture is ready they are just waiting for the players to sign the new CBA

I read that too. Hopefully it gets released soon.

However, I have heard from strong sources that the Suns first match will be in Mackay vs the Kangaroos

wow what a big fat logo.... too big and ugly too! maybe remove the green then it would look alright! I thought that Mackay Waterfront was on the front?

I agree that's a terrible looking patch to have on the front of the jersey...

 

[Jen2310]

I thought so too at first on first sight, but then this picture doesn't seem so bad.

[The Victorian]

how much better would this look though

 

[Jen2310]

Yes, THAT would look brilliantly. But maybe it doesn't represent sumo without the green. What other sponsor logos are without the background colour?

 

[Choppers]

I'm no colour co-ordinator by any stretch, but the green just doesn't sit well with the red imo...

I'd much prefer just the motif and SUMO in white......but that may not suit the sponsor...

Plus from a distance you can’t read it in the green however you can if it’s transparent

 

[Jen2310]

This is more of a question to the mods: Would it be a good idea to create a sub forum for the women's football, with the AFLW coming up? More discussion than one thread could contain.

Just a thought.

Yeah I agree that would be a good idea... notice other clubs do it too.

I wouldn’t care if it was a pink or purple polka dot .. it’s good to see non traditional sponsors getting on board

 

[exile]

the green is part of sumo salad's branding. doubt they'd want to get rid of the green.

 

[Mini GF]

I reckon it looks ok. Good brand too. Very GC and appealing to women. I wonder if TFH Hire want to get onboard too.....

Remember when we went a whole season without a back sponsor? Looked horrible. This is great to get a major partner colours aren't important.
