Discussion Tasmania AFL Jumper Design

[Coobk001]

Hey guys I've been thinking about how a Tassie team's guernsey could look should we be granted a license to join the league as a stand-alone club (not a relocation).

I don't think we should enter the league with the traditional map jumper for a couple of reasons:

• It's a state of origin jumper. We'd be entering the league as a club representing a state, rather than as a state (same as the Adelaide Crows).
• Whilst very traditional, it's a pretty bland design.

In saying that, I think a Tassie Devils jumper should still visualise the shape of Tasmania, but in a more stylistic and less literal way.

Here is the design I've come up with:

Any chance you could mock up this exact same colours, but the gold V becomes a gold stylised T for Tasmania. Almost like the Mandalorian helmet?

Some of these jumpers look great

I would definitely be going with a new design. I think they should still wear the state jumper - I have no issue with it seeing as they are the first truly “state” team in the AFL - but I would save it for once or twice a season and certainly take the opportunity to design something new for their regular home jumper.

Another thing… I think their logo, no matter how minor some of them are, should have a big range of colours. Own a big range that will give them the freedom to go properly creative in the future with merch, clash strips, special jumpers etc. AFL clubs are so confined by the colours they have, they could really expand and give themselves some freedom for the future

Dark green
Maroon
Gold
Light / flouro green
White
Black

Who says you can only have two or three colours? Obviously the initial home jumper for probably be the classic dark green / maroon / gold, but with others they have more freedom to do something cool by adding / replacing some colours. The combinations are endless, from black and fluoro green to white, maroon, gold, and heaps of combinations.



The colours are already very flexible, just work in some lighter green and black combinations too

This HAS to be the official logo.

This HAS to be the official logo.

I think this logo needs a bit of work. It struggles to perform at smaller sizes because there isn't enough contrast between the green devil and slightly darker green Tasmania behind it.

Something I made for a Designathon in 2020

Part of me reckons 1 colour may be altered to not directly copy the SoO colours, similar to Adelaide

Apologies if it's already been done and I've missed it, but what about this jumper (from one of the best going around):

... with this clean and fresh logo on the chest instead of the map and T?

Could be a good way to balance rep teams v AFL team. Same colours but the map represents the state, where the devils logo represents the club.

Green and red hoops south Sydney style would be close to the best kit in the game

[MALTSY]

Favourite design on bigfooty so far...

 

[Sentinel]

Inspired by the St Patricks College Ballarat design, with nice thick hoops on the sleeves which will no doubt be necessary in the midst of winter.

 

[Zoops]

Lightened the red and thought outside the box...

[ProphetBlack]

I reckon we just saw screw it and make a stealth kit of the SoO jumper

Really like this. Tradition design, tones complentary plus logo for branding.

 

[Plugger46]

I'm no expert but i've done these designs quickly.. I really don't want a similar "V" design to what other teams have. The second one to me looks to similar and was only made as a reference. The shorts could be used as home or away

This is very very good. I’d personally have the island map with the T instead of the devil in that triangle.
But if it goes like other modern start up teams, the club will pay some design gurus hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop some rubbish design. That the club will then change in a few years to something simple and traditional with inherent historical significance, that a child or yobbo (sorry) on here has designed.

Need some ochre

 

[Jack Stevens]

Interestingly, Tasmania will be the first team built from the ground up with above-the-number sponsors.

 

[BigChippa52]

I think I like the stripes on the one side a bit better, having both sides looks like they're wearing suspenders

agree

perfect would rather the map but this is just as good and the stripes are separated unlike my desgin

 

[Bjo187]

A few I did a few years back. If we go with the green but they move away from state colours. At least I modernised the T as well .

 

[ToxicTiger11]

 

[J866]

Not sure about the 'T' . Don't think it's needed at all. And if it has to be inside the map I hope they try a different font, something strong.

I agree, as a Tasmanian we don't need the T, I want something that respects the history with colours, but we need a traditional looking footy jumper for a traditional footy state, not a origin guernsey

 

[J866]

Hey Guys, Thought I would throw a few ideas together for a Tassie Team now it's looking much more likely to happen! Personally I think they have to use Green as there main identity, its already associated with the state and is unique in the league so have tried a more traditional concept and an all green version as well which would really set them apart from the other teams

I like the bottom design with the 2 different greens, but the white 'V' needs to be changed to resemble the Devils white stripe on their chest

Love this take on the colours, although probably not with lime green. It's slightly different enough to the state colours while being clearly Tasmania

 

[Bomber_Bad_Boy]

Why are we naming this club Tasmania? Sydney didn't name themselves New South Wales? They need to name the club after the city they play out of which is Hobart, the most populated city in Tasmania. Plus, it's possible that northern Tasmania could get a club at some stage and Hawthorn will continue to play out of Launceston therefore will still have support from the locals and it's best to build up the rivalry!

I'd go with the Hobart Barbarians!

Theme song to the tune of:

Road to Gundagai


Hear the cheers, from the crowd,
Cause we always do them proud,
We are the Hobart Barbarians!

And we won't ever stop,
Until we reach the top,
We are the Hobart Barbarians!

We always have our eyes, on the premiership cup,
And we take on all comers, with our chin up,

All for one, one for all,
Tasmanians hear the call,
We are the Hobart Barbarians!

(Here we go)

The Barbarians play to win, together are we,
As the final siren sounds, for another victory,

We do it well, play with style,
The pride of the Apple Isle,
We are the Hobart Barbarians!
