Analysis 2019 apparel - no more orange!

[Chadwiko]

Today is the first day any players have hit the track for the 2019 preseason, and that meant it's the first time we've seen the apparel for the new season.

Not a drop of orange to be seen, lads!

Worthy of it's own thread to track other bits as we get them

Seems like the mindset is to alternate plain and wacky apparel each year.

I think we had orange two (maybe three?) years in a row though.

LDU looks in good shape

 

[The Warlord]

I like it.

First person to compare it to any American sport gets murdered with an axe.

As does everyone in that front line, Pauly Ahern especially. Is that Lizard Robot next to him? Looks ready for Round One.

 

[Snake_Baker]

It looks sterling from the waist up.

I quite like the fadeway into the lighter blue.

Yeah I concur. A good aesthetic.

 

[numchuks]

Yay, the Argentina baby powder sky blue is back

 

[Val Keating]

Tick

 

[Groin guru]

Hate it. Prefer the orange over this fadeout s**t.

Just use the 1 colour.

Something like this but in training singlet/shirt. Chelsea did it with their blue kit. Simple and it's effective. 150 years - stick to our colour!

 

[The Warlord]

I should have added anyone comparing to soccer gets murdered with an axe too.

 

[Luke72]

Crappy fabric annoys me as much as anything. Try some natural fibres FFS

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I like it.

Looks more like Football (Soccer) training kit

I'll keep my doors locked.

Looks like I’ll have to be Harry High Pants this year.

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!

It just needs to be something simple like this:

Is it available instore now? Looks like a poly or poly/cotton mix.

Wouldn’t look out of place on a lacrosse team.

(Reckon they look better at that distance than up close in the training photos)

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Carlton training gear has Orange trim on it, same shade as our old stuff.

North Melbourne the innovators again.

 

[Waussie]

It just needs to be something simple like this:

Big Nah!

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'll hang out for the hoodie.

Any "aqua" in that and I probably won't buy anything.

I do expect some line of 150 anniversary gear to be available. They're morons if they don't do it.

They are just slowing transforming themselves into the Giants.

I dropped past about 2 weeks ago and it wasn’t in. Maybe someone who was at training has a better idea.
