It’s big ask but I think for next year teams need to produce home and clash variants of the Indigenous jumpers if the two round concept continues.

Honestly think it starts to become too much, what makes these jumpers so great is their uniqueness, two of each worn over multiple weeks they start to become diminishing in their impact to what they represent.

The way it was in 2018 was perfect, 1 round where every club used them, then each club used them a few more times depending on their personal choice.

Port v Freo is a minor clash, from behind the jumpers look quite similar.

 

[Heardy_101]

I wonder if Heardy did exactly what I did which was see the phrase "Game Day in Sydney" and assume they were playing the Swans. I forgot about the venue switch.

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

I haven't been put down for my nap today, my bad

 

[Heardy_101]

Jesus you'd hope not.

Then again AFL clash logic this season has been at an all time low

(Not as low as 2019 QF, mind you)

I retract this statement, was half asleep at the time. Red looks fine

I'm at the game and thought the same thing a couple of times when it is down the other end. Nothing major but it's got me a couple of times. Gonna sounds really stupid but ports Guernsey blends in a bit with the crowd too... Maybe I need my eyes checked.

Its the stupid white number panel. I get it's "tradition" but the jumper really would look better without and would solve a lot of problems.

Is this the first time Brisbane has used a Fitzroy jumper at the Gabba?

Ironically yes, when no-one from Victoria could travel up for it.

 

[Rubber Arm]

I was really hoping when port wore indigenous shorts against Geelong a few years ago it would catch on. would be so cool to see

Wonder if they’ll redesign the Dreamtime at the G logo for Essendon vs Richmond this week.

They didn't bother last year when it was at TIO Stadium.

I can't imagine it would be easy to turn around quickly, plus Under Armour seem to struggle with logos as it is!

They did have a new logo heatpressed in iirc

The Dees actually played at the Gabba as a home ground for about 6 years in the early 2000s, but the vic kit didn't exist at the time. For some reason they still wore away shorts sometimes and we also wore the horrible yellow giant lion thing two or so times, and the whole arrangement still baffles me.

Be interesting to see if this logo is used in an official capacity or it's just a mock-up.

In any case I think 'Dreamtime on the Swan' is catchier.

Could have even gone all out and used the Indigenous name for the land where Optus Stadium is located

Should have gone "Dreamtime in the 'O'"

Off topic but I think at the time the AFL wanted every team to play 12 games in their home city so Melbourne played a home game at the Gabba and the Bulldogs played a home game at the SCG against Sydney until about 2007 (also the Kangaroos played a bunch at the SCG against teams other than Sydney in 1999-2000, not sure why they thought that was a good idea).

 

[acm21]

Can't see the games continuing without mini hubs (avoiding Victoria at the minimum). Great news for people who support Victorian teams in other states, but not those within. Would be nice to see some of these games in regional settings.

They were looking at a new market. Beware Hobart, beware

Nah definitely not. Using such a large corporations name for something like this feels wrong. Besides nobody calls Optus Stadium the O.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Collingwood in indigenous and white shorts or clash?

 

[rabbitoh21]

Nah definitely not. Using such a large corporations name for something like this feels wrong. Besides nobody calls Optus Stadium the O.

I just like the idea of calling it "the Big O"... totally because of how it looks on Google Earth

"Yeah man, I'll meet you outside the Big O"

Dreamtime Matagarup? (I think?)
