News New Jumpers For 2019 - All Changes In OP

[Shazza_]

Michael Reeves wore longer shorts and padding during the 80's due to easy bruising. Do you mean him?

nope there was bald headed player in the 90s that wore long black tracksuit pants (not compression) under his shorts in a couple of games due to a medical condition

 

[caloschwaby]

I guess with CGU on the front it's certain that pinstrip white-on-black will be our away jumper
(Can we delist Moore based on his haircut?)

 

[Gibbsy]

Damn, it looks so good. Wish it was our actual home.

Numbers look sublimated too, and there's no GPS pouch on the jumpers. I'd say these are just some retails that have been used for the shoot, and I'd back ISC to have them ready for the JLT/Round 1

As mentioned, *heatpressed numbers and the PIs probably will be ready... It's the retails that have been screwed up by this. The next run of ISC retails are being made/delivered in May!!!

Bring back 'yes' OPTUS

Bring back that Carlton footy team

Am I the only one who doesn't like the Crows new Optus sponsorship?

It's a big change. Toyota just looked cracking on all their jumpers. I know all things change but it seems to be getting some love on here and to me, it's just a downgrade. Yeah it's integrated cleanly and it isn't distracting, but it would've been better if Optus did that to a team that needs it (Brisbane, Saints, Dees).

And that Collingwood jumper still baffles me. I just don't get the point of keeping the pinstripes to an away jumper? You have to swap the sponsors around thus a new batch of jumpers, but it's cluttery having all these different versions of essentially the same design and it's also pointless maintaining the 'regular' home jumper. Why? People who notice it will like the pinstripes, and the majority who don't recognise it... won't recognise it.

Why not just have pinstripes in black, and pinstripes in white?

It's not that different to the Eagles having a royal jumper with the plain wings, then having an away version that's royal with yellow wings but a white outline. Or Port Adelaide's home having the teal on the inner v, then an away version where the teal's on the outer v.

Just... weird.

So weird.

I would prefer us to have just Toyota front and back too, but mostly from a historical point of view. Geelong and Ford is a classic combo, and for nearly 30 years Adelaide and Toyota was the same. Would love to have seen that continue well into the future to establish a timeless connection. If they at least stay on the front indefinitely then its still a bit of a win.

If we have to have a second sponsor though, Optus is a good one. Stable company that isn’t going anywhere and a logo that is as inoffensive as you can get. From a financial POV, it seems to be a huge win for the club so I can get on board with it.

Agree with everything you said about Collingwood. Its messy.

It's pretty simple:
Home Jumper with Home Shorts (Black)
Away Jumper (the one with pinstrips) with Away Shorts (White)
Clash Jumper (pinstrips also but white-based) with Away Shorts (White)

The other uniforms are dedicated round uniforms we wear every year.
All that's changed as far as I can see is that pinstrips have been added to our away jumper.

EDIT: Just realised we're wearing black shorts with that new pinstrip jumper. If that's not an away jumper then I have no idea what's going on anymore

Plus this supposed clash jumper with home sponsors for Carlton games.

What I’d actually like to see is that Carlton clash not have pinstripes. Then you would have:

- Black base and white base for home games

- Pinstriped black base and pinstriped white base for away games

Then at least it would feel like there is some symmetry to it all.

I get it. Like, I understand when they're being worn.

But what I don't get is why you wouldn't just add pinstripes to the regular home jumper. I don't see what issue it is. People all really seem to like the pinstripes so why not just make that your home jumper?

Oh I understand what you mean now
I refer to Dazzler10's answer.

Could it be that the debate at the board table was split and in an Old El Paso moment Eddie said "Why not have both" and he was carried on their shoulders out of the meeting.

is the white clash with black bars gone ?

 

[lionbear]

Could there be a vote at season end?

You have seen both, now decide what you want us to wear permanently?

Might not even be a vote, and it's simply part of a three year transition plan:

2018 - Standard Home
2019 - Standard Home + Pinstripes Home
2020 - Pinstripes Home

(yes, it's been worn for more than three years, but it's easier to start with 2018 rather than the 1900's)

Not a chance. Plus, it's already listed on our store.

Sublimated SOOW logo looks alright.

Sublimated SOOW logo looks alright.

Although it’s right next to the cuffs for the larger jumpers and near the middle for smaller issues.

Think it has more to do with his width than the jumper itself. looks like its bunched up on his shoulders

 

[MegaBob]

Ahem?

I'm still annoyed not one player wanted a long sleeve of this, imagine red cuffs on the end would have been perfect

The brisbane jumper would be a million times better without those stupid watermarks. If they were with Puma you would not see them much at all

I ****en hate watermarks with a passion. Puma need to get rid of ours too even though they are more visible on the retails than the Pi’s.

The 2017 Richmond Puma retail guernsey didn’t have any watermarks and it looked way better

Port’s new sponsor which has been a bit of an open secret for the last week or so - GFG (Gupta Family Group).

Interestingly, they will only be on the front of the clash jumper, there will not be an “away” version of the home jumper.
