Workshop Jumper Ideas for 2026

[jcmelb]

Gold coast have almost fallen arse backwards into an opportunity to have a bold, unique identity with the pink. I'd just lean into it and embrace it 100%. Wear it as much as possible in the finals and really solidify it if they do well.

The pink is just a novelty, no way it persists or stays relevant after constant exposure to it.

Pink has had a few moments. that blink 182, Bam Margera era of 2003-2006 and then again around 2013-2015 in sport (Miami Heat, adidas away football kits) and looking back it’s all pretty much clearly just a moment, there’s nothing longlasting feeling to it.

The only reason it’s successful is because everything else about the redesign was so poorly done.

Kinda agree with this, I really liked the Suns pink guernsey when they first wore it in gather round but I’ve liked it less and less each time since.

Wear it twice a year (gather round and a special themed home game) and have an actual red and gold jumper for their home guernsey.

Here’s my attempt at either a gather round or clash kit for the bulldogs.

First two are obvious choices for me.
Third one idk what that could be used for, just felt like putting the new logo on the old design.

like the pink (especially the muted pink used here)

that said i dont like the black wavy lines at all .... jumper designs should be as simple as possible and the lines just distract from what is a unique design/colour combination

That’s not really true. There’s Palermo, Inter Miami, Stade Francais, Sydney Sixers, Rajasthan Royals who all use pink as a big part of their brand. There’s no reason Gold Coast couldn’t do the same.

There’s basically no consistency here - T20 teams choose kooky colours to stand out, Palermo is a hundred year old football club and anomaly.

The Suns rebrand is even worse than their original image and their pink jumper basically makes no sense, it appeals to children and people on here like it because it’s novel. It has zero association with the team or area and the core design is rubbish.

The lack of consistency between the examples is a good thing.

The Suns are a new club so anything can “make sense” for them. Pink sunsets, done. No less contrived than the red/yellow colourway that was likely selected because the rest of the league is mostly some black or blue variation. Pink can and does work.

Gold Coast fans seem to like the pink.

Penrith Panthers Pink is iconic.

Changing to the pink as the main colour seems like a win for all involved. Gives the team a much more distinct identity from the other red-gold-blue sides, gives the fans more attractive merch options and fixes a lot of the branding issues that they’ve had since their inception.

Agreed. And doesn't mean they can't have a red away guernsey or clash.

 

[Supercheapgiants]

My only issue with the pink so far, is the use of Grey as the second colour. Not saying it feels too similar to the GWS branding of Orange/Grey with having (not the same as orange but similar) Pink/Grey.

Just doesn't sit right with me that GC do a similar enough brand to us. I'd be fine with Pink, Black, Blue (or yellow) as a Miami Vice theme, but just not only Pink/Grey

Pink, black and red?

i have to agree - i think it should be a midnight blue for shorts and the charcoal features.
and then i think there should be an inverse for the Qclash and away games in NSW

ill try mock these up unless someone else wants to

what I reckon each team should have

Yeah definitely agree. It's tricky to come up with a good secondary colour for pink though, or at least one that's different enough from GWS. Navy blue would be nice but that would be a huge departure from their current branding, not sure they'd want to do that.

Would it?

Sure, it's the most miniscule part of their home guernsey, but this blue looks navy every time I see it on TV.

The AFLW side have been using this combo for training kit, I'm not the biggest fan of the blue but it gives a rough idea as to what pink and a lighter blue could look like. I'd prefer black to be the second colour alongside pink and have blue as the tertiary though.

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Pink, black and red?

Not sure the double Pink/Red would look nice, might be a bit too jarring imo

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Like a fair few of these, though GWS I'm not a big fan of (mainly lack of orange and use of a white kit). Just seems like they don't fit in with all the other clubs

 

[aCunningPlan]

Going with a Chicago Bulls pinstripe inspired Essendon clash. Was unsure the white on the collar would make it too much like St Kilda but I think it just provides some contrast and ties in with the number and logo while still giving strong Bombers vibes.

Needs to be a darker midnight blue and a more vibrant pink.
