News Lions kits and supporter gear discussion

[Nickimus Rex]

The AFL store also have the Maroon version of the Bears retro. Is the club shop getting same? Or are we going to have to send our money to the AFL store?

I noticed this too! I also feel it's a bit weird they included the Quit logo instead of a fitzroy one, but used the Bears head

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Honestly the women's kits look better except the shade of maroon.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Pardon the intrusion gang -

I'm not sure if it's been announced by the club or not yet, but you're moving to New Balance as your official on-field apparel partner in 2023.

This was reconfirmed by another poster on the FJGD board yesterday. It's still happening.

 

[Full Wingspan]

Awesome, it's about time we signed a reputable and quality band. They were a minor sponsor for a few years and offered some great deals on apparel for members.

 

[Robbojack]

Are we due for a new alternate strip in 2023?

 

[flat_eric]

Hopefully we finally get better integration of the sponsor logos, but I'm not holding my breath. I reckon we do it worse than just about every other club. Although the sponsors we sign don't usually have logos that work particularly well with the guernsey design.

Looking to be New Balance as a kit manufacturer in 2023, so signs point to yes

Was kinda hoping we'd be with Puma

Yeah I love the quality of the puma kits at the moment, it would have been my preference too

rocks these bad boys

 

[Lazza16]

Moving the BBFFC for a sponsor makes me both really angry and sad. I hate seeing those nice little touches of history getting sold away

Our history is now confined to the never never regions .....an insult

He’s not 70 and pairing them with oversized stonewashed jeans.

That doesn't look like a Harris Sandshoe

 

[Warwick]

Smaller yoke, smaller and higher lion, and gold rather than lemon please NB.

Don't the players call him by the nickname "Dad"

Yeah. Dad, not granddad.

Would like to see a richer more vibrant royal blue & a more purple maroon. The Lion & cuffs on the Majestic kits were too orange looking and on the Classic kits they are too yellow, something inbetween would look perfect. Hope the manufacturer logo is gold rather than white.

 

[Full Wingspan]

How do we feel about the return of the blue yoke on the rear of the jumper?

I wouldn't mind seeing a darker blue and deeper maroon version of the jumper as well.

I always liked those heritage jumpers that had the darker blue and deeper maroon to. It seems some of the jumpers and merch in recent years is looking a pinky red or more removed from a maroon. If anything I think we should be going darker, not lighter on the marroon and leave the red for the Melbourne Fitzroy jumper which I like - the in between color is yuk.

Would love to see it back, it looked great on our premiership anniversary jumpers.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I'd be keen to see a smaller Lion, more traditional maroon and blue and ditch the collar and cuffs altogether, maybe just piping around the edges.

I've actually done a bunch of random design ideas -

Design using the members gear colours (navy, maroon and a deeper gold), and a clash using the training kit colours, but with the old gold clash kit sides



Some Bears kits for Qclashes and clashes
An alternate using white in place of gold, and a secondary set using the maroon, white and navy colours of old Fitzroy.
Edit. And moving the BBFFC to the pocket (if we have to keep Hyundai on the back).

Noice. Hopefully the FFC logo will get a run too though.

Yeah if we did the Bears kits for Qclashes, I would love the FFC in aways in the red and blue, if not just in Vic

 

[KissKiss]

Maybe a little weird from the Fitzroy side of things but I really rate the away Bears Triangle strip. Its a pretty great alt uniform that we should wear more often

Yeah it is a pretty clean design and should be brought back in some capacity, same with the FFC
