Analysis 2019 apparel - no more orange!

[Groin guru]

For those that like orange, there's a perfectly fine franchise playing out of the arse end of Sydney that you can go support. North Melbourne is royal blue and white.

Which is like stating that getting hit with a bat is better than being shot.

It is.

Not that I've ever been shot.

Well I do own one of these so you're not far off:

I hope its the blue camo one.

the inspiration for last season:

Yes that one.

 

[ferball]

Yes, the colours don't not go together. I can see why some might like the combination, in terms of contrasting colours. In fact, now that I come to think of it, it was probably a key reason for following North to begin with. As the '75 GF was beamed in on our Sony Trinitron...

Unlike Hawthorn's questionable colour scheme, it was great to see the vivid royal blue and white contrasting so brilliantly against the decor of my parents' home...

I'd like to say the cheese fondues made up for it, but that'd be a lie.

From about 2012 everything started turning blue and orange. Its especially noticeable in video game palletes.

No, they don't.

If that one was orange, it would be the sort of kit you might wear doing a stretch of 3-5.

Looks like my money will be staying in my pocket next year.

I'll wait & see if they stuff up the hoodie again.

Pass.

Hopefully they produce a line of 150th anniversary gear and don't stuff it up.

Not a fan of the black shorts.

That cap is disturbing. It looks wrong.

Home and away? Have we done away with the traditional white with blue stripes strip?

Cotton is the worst performing fabric for high perspiration sports. It absorbs the sweat, becomes heavy, and tends to lose its shape easier. Cotton is better for odour but it's not like you'd wear these more than once without washing them.

Chafing is also a huge issue with cotton. The amount of running these guys do - they wouldn't have any nipples left by the end of the session.

Synthetics are durable and don't absorb as much moisture. It pulls it away from the skin and therefore limits chafing. Refels UV rays and therefore better in the Australian sun. It is stronger and less likely to tear which is obviously suited for contact sports.

End result: it isn't 1950 any longer. It's why all sports clothing (proper sports clothing) is synthetic (mostly polyester). Get with the program Luke72!

Why not just go for the old bandaids over the nipples trick.
