Analysis 2020 North apparel

[El Triggso]

Massive change. I am not sure where I sit on it to be honest. I am old school on this sort of thing, and prefer we tinckered with the away jumper, but leave the home one alone

“Shut up and buy the new-season-cash
-generating footy jumper”

 

[Hojuman]

yes, according to Mero

sounds to me like it was probably the manufacturer not understanding how the jumper was supposed to look. I've never seen footage of the game where we wore this so i don't know

Strange on the day but really noticeable on the replay. Have you got a vhs copy of the '96 season ?

no, i don't, haven't seen the game. it probably would've been worn more but it was our only home game for the first 4 rounds, by round 5 we were wearing the classic 3 stripe design

[Liam Boy]

Huh. That is strange, the side stripes are too close to each other on some players, and then on Glenn Freeborn's jumper they're touching. It's pretty similar to the first striped jumper we wore in the VFA

I hate the latest jumpers. I thought things were looking up with no orange, camo, or blue polka dots on the training gear.

What a shame to bin the jumping kangaroo as our away jumper. It was the best away jumper in the league last year.

Canterbury really don’t know wtf they are doing

 

[SMaturin]

I reckon they’ve crunched some
imaginary numbers and reckon they’ll sell more merch with this (contentious) point of difference.

 

[Passmore]

I’m probably out on my own here, but I’m just glad they ditched the guernsey with the kangaroo on the front. I always hated that.

I‘ll take fat pinstripes or whatever they are called as a trade off.

[Orange Peanut]

I almost hope we don't win a flag

do i care about this too much? yes, definitely.

Gotta agree LB. I reckon you should buy one mate and just come to love it.

In all seriousness, it should be easy;

1000%

The hoodie isn't that bad this year, with the exception of the Mt Buller collar thing.

I might actually buy one this time.

They won't do that because the Dark jumper has to get work with Dark Shorts and the Light jumper has to get worn with Light Shorts.
Everyone else except Geelong wears Dark at Home and Light Away.
The only way around it is to wear White shorts at Home and have the Away team wear Dark shorts.
But anyone who watched footy between 1924 and 2007 got used to Dark shorts at Home and White Away.

 

[shintemaster]

Well, that looks s**t.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Well, that looks s**t.

Looks like a child drew it on MS Paint and used the wrong drawing tool.

Yep. Just awful. No chance I'll buy a jumper this year to add to the collection - maybe the indigenous one will recoup them a sale... Just no need to be screwing around with the classic jumper. The extra lines make it look weak IMO.

 

[Liam Boy]

I'd prefer this as a home kit than the inverted one we've been wearing. White shorts aren't a problem.

 

[75-77-96-99]

i say it looks great - it doesnt help when the player is standing in front of a blue and white backdrop... i think they look awesome

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well, that looks s**t.

I dunno why they have to constantly mess with the home jumper. Leave that alone and play graphic artist with the away/indigenous ones.

They're certainly not in touch with the rusted ons.

Hell, why not just use the old crest as our official logo? It has a timeless look. The only thing that is a little hazy is the Latin phrase, as it has a different meaning to the club motto.

Not really.

 

[RobZombie]

Not really.

He has a point. "Victory demands dedication" is a very loose translation of that Latin.

Yeah its loose but isn't the point with Latin translations?

For me, personally, its easily close enough.

That should be the away design. Use Blue shorts and Blue socks for our home games.

Yeah there's a saying "The Latin means whatever you need it to mean". That motto is usually rendered as "Amat Victoria Curam", btw. Someone at NM decided to redo it in English word order for some reason.
