Next season marks 30 years since 1996 - the final seasons of both the Bears and Fitzroy. I hope the club spends a lot of time acknowledging that.

Eh, what is 30 years as an anniversary really? I can understand 10, 20, 25, 50 and so on…

Never put it past a club to milk their members for money, but I don’t exactly see 30 years as this significant milestone that must need acknowledging

The ones with zeroes at the end always get celebrated. They're like birthdays.

What are you talking about.
I think the clubs called Geelong Cats now on everything instead of just Geelong. Think how on the ladder Collingwood is just Collingwood, Hawthorn is just Hawthorn but GWS has always been GWS GIANTS. I think the cats are in the same boat now.

So what constitutes a celebration or commemoration, then? Next year also marks 30 years since Brisbane and Port entered the AFL (1997).... Do we just skip that?

It's not like it's being brought up every year - every 5-10 years.

Is that the club preference, though? Or just certain media outlets?

Gold Coast get referred to as Gold Coast SUNS in most media etc.
 
Swann did tease a Fitzroy kit earlier in the year after the Bears retro guernsey was used.

Dom from the Roar Deal also said he got told by Swann that the club had approved a Fitzroy clash guernsey for next year for a game in Melbourne for a Hall of Fame event there next year
Not the clash guernsey it would seem. Sticking with the same design.

Hopefully a one off retro Fitzroy guernsey next season at some stage.

Pretty sure the Fitzroy one will be a one-off. Disappointing really :( Perfect opp to change the away to Fitzroy and clash to Bears

That’s Geelong’s marketing decision.

Its only marked as clash because it leaves a spare jumper in the draw if needed.

Reality is it will be worn 3 times at the most (GC Home and Away plus GWS Maybe).

Fitzroy inspired jumper plus the red used in most away games they get a lot more coverage than the Bears at the moment (Correctly so)
 
Anyone think a black and white Brisbane jumper would go kinda hard? The bronco's did one this year and it was a huge success. And we're not playing with stripes here, so Collingwood couldn't cry; even if they wanted too.
Oh boy
