Cats reflect on strip change
By Emma Quayle

Geelong has submitted three potential "clash" guernseys for AFL approval, but will not launch any new strip until next year.
The Cats asked Slazenger to design alternate strips after the dark and light blue jumpers they wore against the Kangaroos last season prompted a backlash from supporters unable to distinguish between the guernseys, on television and at the ground.
The three designs were sent to the AFL last month, and once approved will be taken to supporter groups for feedback.
Geelong chief executive Brian Cook said the Cats would wear the blue-on-blue jumper in their only "clash" match of the season, against Collingwood in round 15. "I don't think there will be enough time for us to make a decision between now and when we play Collingwood, so we'll wear our current clash jumper for that game," Cook said. "But we're looking at it."
He said one of the new designs was predominantly white, while another had smaller stripes than the traditional strip and the third was "actually not much different from what we've already got".
-----------------------
The design in the papers showed a Cats hooped jumper with the blue hoop half the width. What do we on the board think of this.For me it would not be hard to improve on our previous efforts so somethiing like this would be a move in the right direction

Obviously without seeing any of them we can only go on what we think they'd look like, but I think the majority white one sounds alright to me. I still wouldnt mind that silver training guernsey they have

There was an artist impression in the paper which didnt look to bad.The navy hoops which are normally the same width as the white looked about half of their normal width.
I like the training jumper as welll but there is a mandate that our jumpers must have hoops.Perhaps we could exchange the silver blue for the Navy Blue but it seems that they probably wont stray too much from our traditional colours

Think heritage top style, with a prominent white background.

I think that's what it looks like, I haven't yet seen it though.

I'd like to see something like our silver training jumper. They could just put maybe a thicker white hoop and two thinner white hoops round the middle with the logo.
