Yeah for some reason tonight isn't as bad as usual for me, maybe because I'm watching in 4K and the gameplay is fairly slow. But it's still unacceptable in this day and age.

Sick design but can't wrap my head around the marketing guff. "Exclusive collab with Nike"? Well it's not like you're going to get Puma to design it up, are you? Also, exclusive to who?

Hawthorn's Crazy John's sponsor for the 2000 preseason was different. And yes, this is one of the all-time crazy matchups:
It featured the original Crazy John's Mobile World logo, which is only available via IP Australia:
The colours will be what was on this old TV ad:
And could also be...
$135 on the team store, bloody hell! I know footy jumpers have sort of been around $110 for the last 20 years and haven't really kept up with inflation, but that stood out to me...
More pics below. It really is a nothing burger of a design.
I remember this from the team photo sticker books of the day. I reckon I had 2000 and 2001. Port was always notable for giving equal importance to their home and away strips.
Another butcher job that is a poor recreation of the original. I understand if the lightning bolt can't be exactly spot on – they have done an okay job of replicating it – but why oh why are the ratios so off again? That yolk is massive. They had the same issue with the 2024 SBS remake.
Would this be the first time since Rd 22 2010 that a round of AFL football has the 2000s-era 16 clubs playing at the same time, given only GC and GWS have byes this week?
The layman wouldn't recognise it but we do. I think these 2024 and 2025 product shots are able to be accurately compared since the AFL logo essentially colour-matches across both pics.
Wow, no more Bendigo Bank for Geelong VFL! They've been around for two decades. Big change.
ISC pretty much has a stranglehold over the non-AFL clubs too; that's 10 clubs they have manufacturing rights for here.
Welcome!
I mean maybe, but also those brand guidelines being shared are from 1999. I don't think the 3-colour logo has been used in an official capacity for decades. I'm probably too over the top about it all but yeah, just strange
Credit where it's due – this frame is wonderful. Leaning into the meme while creating a faithful representation of the on-screen graphics used in the early 1990s.
I love the illustration work here, but I have no idea what the source is for the 'instructional' type video in the background...
Anyway, that's not all. And I should add that my highlighted 'complaints' are really only things that us nerds here would recognise. But what else is this board for?
I'm still a bit confused as to why they are pushing the "160 years" point so much. Nothing of note began in 1865, footy-wise...
Just saw this cop a fairly low-profile release on Facebook about an hour or so ago. I'm not sure if it exists anywhere else yet. That said, I quite like it as a 60-second primer for people who aren't really into footy, and I think fans of every team can probably be satisfied that they are in...
This is going to seem a bit ungrateful to launch into some corrections straight away, but you've never once stopped us – in fact, I know you encourage it.
The second graphic here should have 2008 as the caption.
