2014 Puma Range

[Hank93]

Hoops seem quite low from this video.

I'm not sure why so many people in this thread hate the Crows polo shirts. I've got about six or seven different colours and designs, and wear them not only to the footy. Perhaps it's a younger generation thing?

 

[PykeDream]

I don't like the new collars frankly. They look a bit K-Martish.

I'm not that fussed over the collar.

Hoops look quite low on the jumper though, and looking at the Eagles jumper I'm going to assume we'll be having side panels on the jumper, both of which I'm not a fan of.

I was going to say i'm guessing you are north of 40

Born 1992, makes me 21 years old.

But you do chase time lords...

One good introduction the club has brought in this year is a Members hoodie.

I've never bothered with the polos because outside of the first couple of rounds, the last couple of rounds and finals, you can't really wear it to the footy. Only thing is, anyone can buy them as Crowmania aren't enforcing the member exclusive merchandise. Would be nice if the stuff promoted for Members actually is Members only.

Love the members hoody. Hoping to pick one up tomorrow. The hoods are usually pretty good from the Crows. Had a dozen or so, and they've all lasted a considerable amount of time.

I agree about the members gear though - definitely should be members only.

Decent Hoodie. Too bad the logo sucks.

'Membership' can be purchased for as little as $50 this year though, so it's probably much of a muchness in regard to restricting sale.

Must say I'm pretty appalled by the appearances of the 2014 range. The 2013 Puma stuff was a breath of fresh air and I bought the zip up hoodie and pre-season polo, both of which are fantastic to wear.

Having said that, I'm probably being a bit precious. Might check out the Regent Arcade store and splash a bit of cash the next time I head over to Adelaide for a game.

Logo way too big IMO.

I don't mind the members 2014 down the arm but would prefer a logo on the front to be no bigger than a 50 cent piece.

Agree, would look twice as good.

Would look like every other hoody around.

I'm proud of my Crows passion, and I'm quite happy to wear the logo spread across my torso.

It's not that. Everyone who knows me, knows I'm a crows man. I wear crows gear all the time, I just don't like how big the logo is.

I do admit, the logo is damn huge. Still looks like a decent design, and something different from the norm.

I bought this jumper (pictured) last year, and wore it heaps during winter. Similar sized logo, and I never felt out of place wearing it. Not even at a Hawks vs Carlton game.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

I have the grey one.

 

[Hank93]

I think apparel is quality if you can wear it to a get together or the shops and not feel out of place.

IMO, you'd look like a dork wearing that hoodie with the ginormous crows logo on it. Last years was simple and didn't stand out.

The club logo was small enough that people still knew you were wearing Crows apparel, but you weren't standing out as some over obsessed Crows dweeb.

 

[DD#23]

yeah, everything is very much game day-wear only.

also I didn't get my guernsey this week, having looked at the 2013 collar vs the 2014 I hope I get the old version

I went to school with a few guys that used to steal a LOT of stuff from the AFL store at Colonial Stadium back when thats what it was called. They used to steal whatever looked stupidest at the time (fremantle jumpers were popular for that reason)

That training jumper is exactly the sort of thing theyd have been all over.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Regarding the apparel, id like to wear the colours to a game and not feel uncomfortable about it on the train or if i want to get a beer or go for dinner afterwards. I dont want to look like one of the player, because at 125kg noone is going to be fooled if they see me in a crows training jumper. as others have mentioned id like to buy some gear from the club, but it seems i only ever have the choice of A) look like a fat player or B) look like a nanna in a crocheted red yellow and blue cardigan. with all of the on demand clothing retailers online im surprised the club doesnt bring in a few freelance designers. i already have 2 hooped jumpers, if they want me to spend more money theyre going to have to give me somethign different and compelling to spend it on.

That's really quite peculiar. About a year ago while I was at work on a quiet day, I had a customer come in wearing a Fremantle jacket. I started talking to him about footy, to which he replied "I don't actually like Freo, I stole this jacket because it looks stupid".

Same person?

Don't expect too much at Regent Arcade - the range there is quite limited.

 

[DD#23]

yeah, so this years replica jumper is the same design as the 2013 jumper.

it doesn't have the right lining around the arms either.

 

[kimirocks]

Only thing I rate as half decent for 2014 is the grey tshirt. Everything else is average - last years merch better by a bit, hoody decent. It really isn't hard to design something 'normals' might like to wear.

At first I thought that looked hideous,

then I started liking the retro AFC look, then the bird started to grow on me, and now I think it's looks pretty good.
