Discussion AFL International Cup 2017 Guernseys

[LeeARM]

The International Cup starts in 3 weeks and it usually involves some pretty interesting designs.
I haven't heard or seen much about it so far so I thought that this could be a good place to share any designs that have been revealed.

I'll start off this thread with the new Canada Northwind jumper.

Pretty straight forward, has a bit of an ice hockey vibe about it with hoops at the bottom of the guernsey and a logo in the centre.

India Tigers* (according to Wikipedia*, that name doesn't seem right with an Essendon logo on their jumper)

 

[LeeARM]

I can't find any more confirmed guernseys at the moment but here are all of the designs from the last cup in 2014.

I can't believe they've just put an unedited Essendon logo on there without changing the words.

There's probably a reason for that...

Ireland and European Crusaders

I don't see any plausible one.

I don't see any plausible one.

Because they aren't the Indian bombers, they're just supported by Essendon. similar to the China/Port relationship.

The Indian team has nothing to do with Richmond, the nickname of "Tigers" was because the first national side was made of players from Kolkata, West Bengal. The sides association with Essendon has been there for some years now.

Better name than the Baghdad Bombers.





I'll see myself out.

I didn't see the connection, and for that I prefusely apologise.

Baghdad Bombers has a nice ring to it, I really like it.

The Iraqi's don't share our enthusiasm for this one.

I think Canada may have also worn a white version of the jumper in the image.

There is my Fiji comp jumper but they had issues with artwork so they went for this.

We had the artwork modified with personal messages.

Northwinds guernsey compared to others they have worn is the worst i've seen, especially as it doesn't have one of their national colours in it.

 

[Storm20]

Mero is this something that you would consider putting on footyjumpers.com?

Not really.
I have a line of demarcation that begins with at least semi professional football.
WAFL, SANFL & perhaps VFA/L would be the limit.

 

[BigBrainUSA]

AFL India's facebook page refers to them as the Bombers.

This is worse than AFL clubs taking over the state leagues.

This is worse than AFL clubs taking over the state leagues.

Why?

 

[fumbler]

Why?

Is this a serious question?

I understand the need for clubs to broaden their identity, i understand clubs wanting much money, i understand clubs are dicks sometimes.
Just don't understand why any club thinks forcing their identity onto a country helps their image when it steals that countries heritage and the main focus of them being a part of the IC, their culture.
