I know everyone's probably starting to get a bit sick of these portfolios but I figured here is as good a place as any to get my designs out. Keen to get my ideas out, so here we go. Have already designed everything but will probably only get a few clubs in at a time. Certainly won't be getting heaps out tonight, I'm too buggered and need sleep soon...
Don't have logos but may get around to putting some of these in here as well at som stage soon.
Adelaide Crows:
Home
Away
Clash
Adelaide's current home design is fine. Nothing wrong with the hoops, but like everyone else I agree that there should be no side panels. The hoops have to continue around the whole way. The clash is my only main problem with their kits at the moment. Unoriginal birdhead design using white when they can easily use yellow (a club colour
) makes no sense to me. My clash is based around the 99-07 away jumpers, using yellow as a base colour. It uses the old crow logo instead of the current monstrosity and still incorporates thinner hoops. Tbh, I'm not totally convinced with the yellow shorts. They look a little bit sickly and otherwise white would look fine. Another idea would be a simple yellow recolour, but this is still 'modern' and would probably sell better looking at it from a club perspective.
Brisbane Lions:
Home A
Away A
Victoria A
Clash A
Home B
Away B
Victoria B
Clash B
Like everyone else, I cannot see any logic in what Brisbane have done to their guernseys. What they had was perfect and what they currently have looks tacky. Ideally they should go back to the old Fitzroy lion but unfortunately I'm not sure that is really on the cards anytime soon
My preferred set, A, is just a slight variation on the old kits. The clash is based on the old Bears jumpers, offering a nice bit of recognition to both merger teams.
My main problem with the current design is the oversized lion. I'm not totally against the lion itself and would have nowhere near the same hate towards the guernseys if they looked like the ones in set B. The lion is reduced to normal size and the yoke is straight, like before. For those complaining about there being no Roy lion, it features as a small patch on the chest (although I personally don't see it necessary). The clash is also based off the old Bears guernseys but needs a bit more work. If I could, I would have made the outline a bit thicker so that the lion stands out better
Carlton:
Home
Away
Clash
Carlton already have pretty much everything right and tbh couldn't very easily bugger anything up. The home and away are the same as they are currently. Although I'm not actually really against their baby blue clash, the general opinion on this board is that it is disliked. Their old clash still used only club colours and probably is 'more Carlton'

The lions thing does make sense and may have been a contributing factor to them not sticking with this original concept. However, they could have used it to help build up the rivalry there too
