I think the away jumper is pretty bad, just like what is the point, our brand is the hoops, why bother with a pretty weak chevron instead?
The We Fly As One bird? I think it's one of those things that we like now because of what it represents but as an actual logo, it's pretty uninspiring. This white silhouette version could be the top down view of something a crow might splat from above.
Also, we know there is a connection between winning games of football and fans liking or hating a jumper, why risk the WFAO brand by putting it on a jumper.
Onto the white base, I actually think all clubs should get over it and have an all-white and an all dark jumper, the AFL has softened its stance on clashes recently and some of them, at least on tv, were horrible last year, but if everyone else is doing colour, why are we sticking with the white? Also why do some teams get away with major clashes, but we have to wear white when our home jumper wouldn't clash as much as other teams clashes.
Overall I think if you are doing an away jumper, take a risk and do something non-traditional that people will love/hate, or just stick to the hoops, this is kind of non-offensive, safe, (you can't even say it's for the kids) change for the sake of change.
To bring in more money? I'd do modern, stupid gradients or whatever the designer needs to get out their creative frustrations, over the top creative design for the kids PRESEASON jumper. Older supporters will hate it, the kids will love it type of thing.
Then bring back our own retro/history round, but instead of some faux history/SANFL history jumper, bring out some of the away/clash jumpers from the past.
But every other round of the year, its hoops.

I think our SANFL guernsey would make for a great AFL clash guernsey, hopefully they consider it next time.

December 2017:
The Adelaide Crows will have just one alternate guernsey in 2018, with the current predominantly-white design retained.
As per recent years, the Club again turned to its fans for their thoughts on a clash jumper, with the majority in favour of keeping the current version.
"It makes sense that we ask our loyal and passionate supporter base for its opinion and last time we changed our alternate guernsey designs we ran an online poll," Fagan said. "The process was well received and we decided to do the same again this year and clearly, the current white jumper is very popular so we are listening to our fans.

For those complaining about the new guenerseys being change for change sake just don't buy it simple.
Also next time we don't have a new guernsey don't blame the club for not identifying more ways to make a larger profit.

It happens the world over in every league and sport you can name, what makes anyone think the AFL would or should be any different?
Of course you would but every club has new guernseys every year yes ours seem shittier than others but if you don't like them don't buy them
Only way the club will learn.

I bought one last year - not super thick or heavy but the inside has a warm lining. I really like it.
Not as good for the VIC winter as it would be for SA though...

What a dumb decision by the club to get ISC to do our apparel after what happened with BLK. Hadn't learned from what happened with BLK.
BLK went bust for overloading themselves with apparel contracts, and ISC were doing the same thing - was always going to happen.
Should have signed with Asics instead after BLK went bust back in late-2016, they were reportedly the other brand on the table to do our gear.

Isn't ISC already a revived version of itself?

Something like that, they had some financial issues about ten years ago or so.
Don't think ISC are coming out of this at all this time around, they're in deep deep s**t by the sounds of things.
They might not be able to supply us any further for the rest of the season. That could mean we could be forced to work with just whatever has been delivered to the club, or have a third party do some gear for us temporarily in place of ISC (which I noticed Port have done recently). OR possibly we switch suppliers mid-season

It is a shame.
Their stuff is good. Only Adidas has been better.
But an apparel manufacturer can't make money just supplying club gear. It is a niche market that does not seem to be profitable.
Get Adidas back.

Confirmed by ISC themselves that they are ending all their sponsorships of AFL/NRL clubs.
Sounds like we will be going onto our 8th supplier.
Wonder if it has to be immediate
