From Freo's AGM
"AFL has reduced the allowed number of themed jumpers for the year.
Anzac Day and indigenous are locked in. Club can can then choose 2 more.
(We’ve had the option of 3-4 in the past).
Have decide what to drop out of stealth, starlight or retro.
The round/theme still exists, just the jumper goes."

any club that this potentially impacts, should just avoid doing gather round jumper. A tiny middle finger to the league too.

I have a website where I track all the jumper and uniform variations throughout the history of the game.
Each new jumper is a different Jumper and two Uniforms I have to re-create.
So less work for me.
Plus; additional jumpers add nothing to the game.
They have become a false economy of retail options that only end up diminishing the value of the brand identity of the clubs.

Dropping stealth seems like a no-brainer there.

i think we were first
I was thinking we’d drop the starlight jumpers, the designs have always been pretty average and you could still auction off the match worn jumpers even if they aren’t starlight branded.

Never be the second guy to try do something. Bad from hawks, no matter how well they pull it off they will always be the second guy in pink
You never want to be the second guy in the pink

Just to clarify, I'm not saying other clubs haven't in the past and don't still use pink, and using it for a cause is great like Hawks and Melbourne have done in the past, but Gold Coast were the first to use it as part of their brand and the Hawks post makes it appear as though they are trying to follow suit (or at least trying to).

MAGA - Make Albo Go Away
Mandatory jumpers such as Indigenous Round shouldn't even be counted.

Depends if we're counting a shorts change as a wholly new kit - I would say that just wearing away shorts doesn't change the kit itself, so this discounts a purple "away"

I don’t know if the AFL rules are the same (probably not, they change weekly on everything) but a couple of years ago, if you had more than a certain number of jumpers each season, every additional jumper was a hit to the soft cap.

Great take, home jumpers have definitely lost appeal to one off jumpers in recent years unfortunately.
I don't think clubs need a home and away indigenous jumper. One jumper worn in one round creates more value and also increases the importance and recognition of the round and message itself. For example would the grand final be as appealing and prestigious if there were 4 played throughout the year?
I think clubs should have:
Home
Away (Clash)
Indigenous (Only to be worn Indigenous round)
Retro (To be worn in Gather round only)
Anzac (Only to be worn ANZAC weekend)
And if they must, one other one off sorts (Brisbanes 2 aways, Giants never surrender Etc.)
