News New Jumpers for 2017 - All changes in OP

[Andonis1997]

It astounds me that Nike have different collars on the PI's and the retails.

The retail collar is very nice and you are losing out on merch sales because people want what the players have.

*raises hand* Me.
It's all cost-cutting, however there wouldn't be a need to cost-cut if you had the PI collars on the retails, as there would be more sales!!

Cost cutting?
Surely the changes to the collar can't save them that much?

From what I read.. somewhere. I can't remember now

But yeah, don't really know. Different stitching/material? *shrugs*

Either way, just a bad business decision.

Not the first time 'bad business decision' and 'Carlton' have been linked together..

Yeah but this one is Nike's fault!
And that surprises me the most.

Fairly confident is saying that our replica's have long been the worst in the league by some margin. What the hell is the monogram doing on this thing from the 90's?



Nike got it right initially when the only difference was the raised logo, but since then they've been abysmal.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Anyone else prefer the old AFL logo over the current one?

Disagree, the baby blue clash guernsey was probably as close to a PI as the label 'retail jumper' could allow. Raised monogram, side/shoulder panels.

On the photo you posted, not every monogram was going to be handmade like the old guernseys, was it?

I prefer the new one, though I've grown up with it. It's certainly a very good logo, but the current, I feel, is a lot more professional.

The eagles were using the the tablecloth (old clash Jumper) during match simulations today. Would be interesting to see if they implement it as the alternative training jumper. I hope not cause i actually like the yellow one we have used for the last decade or more.

Maybe Puma told them they were sending over the new jumpers with the new collar so they are using what they have lying around?

could have still used the yellow jumpers from last year still. One side in the match sim used the navy.

Also just noticed this in the shop, unsure if it's been discussed in the AFLW thread but could we potentially see mid socks like these make their way into the AFL?

yeah mate hawthorn have got both a crew cut and regular design on their site

 

[lionbear]

Unless there is a change in policy, AFL very strict on sock lengths

North have had both long and short socks available for players for the past couple of years so I dare say this may become the norm across the league in the near future.

What a disgrace

 

[Silent Alarm]

Yeah look it's not that s**t at all is it. 2017 modern shits on 2007 modern

This a troll?

People would have said the same in 2007 about 1997.

Looking modern has always ended up looking dated.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I'd rather see socks that integrate the design and show them off, and are still short and comfortable for players, than long socks pulled down which have no club colours and which are barely visibly drawable to the club.

If you didn't know short socks were available, you wouldn't even notice it.

Maybe the stripes should be half thickness on the crew cut socks?

 

[juddy_Like]

Remember when Scott West got fined for cutting the tops off the socks instead of leaving them rolled down?

Kinda redics.
