Away Jumpers

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

We may have lost with them on but.... I like 'em!
When I first heard that Adelaide were going to wear them as an away jumper.. I hated it. When off they look like crap.. on they look good
Everyone else like them?

 

[Leaping Lindner]

Not a fan. And the numbers are very hard to make out.

 

[Chief Crow]

i don't mind them. Its a great clash jumper. Was no confusion between both teams

 

[birdmanptr]

They are awfull not as bad as our set shot goal kicking




Or Craigy

 

[Elite Crow]

[pinkcrows]

They looked good

 

[PsyCrow23]

Dont like the blue numbers, they should be yellow

 

[dale_thomas13]

maybe a yellow outline, but yellow on red would look worse.

Don't really like them. I prefer a guernsey that is symmetrical. Anything else looks messy from a distance. I would prefer us to go with the 'predominantly white' style that a few other clubs have adopted for their away strip, with just blue, red and gold trim.

lol, they look like they're dancing.

Yellow would make it harder to read.

i second that idea. keepin it simple.

i thought the guernseys made them look fat, but the design is cool.

But white isn't one of our colours, so I'd be dead against a white alternate.

I think our 'Back to the Future' current one is the best one we've had ever. I really like it.

Only change I'd make is an all yellow back with the blue numbers (if we did this, we should only clash with Hawthorn, and possibly West Coast) or yellow numbers on the current red backing.

But red and yellow suck and look glaringly terrible from a distance!

 

[brucetiki]

But at least they're our colours. I'd be dead against a guernsey that was predominantly non red yellow or blue

I liked them today, but was very difficult to read the numbers at the ground.

 

[Geoffa32]

Not a fan

I would prefer an All yellow design with a Crow in middle, without the fancy colours all over it. Having said that it is a clash jumper and does the job.

Terrible jumper. Vomit. Just terrible.

 

[PCORF]

They are allright. These will be a good clash jumper actually but the blue number on the back should be solid yellow. Bring back the old away jumper from 1999-2005, use the preseason jumper as the clasher or redesign the the red uniforms so they are based on the home jumper, but the navy blue and red are swapped around. But I don't think this now has any effect on how we play, in 2008 we must win more home games because the road is more difficult.

 

[Dogga79]

Dont like it. Last years was much better.

our clash guernseys are yellow numbers on red, as are SA guernseys, pretty easy to see

 

[AC07]

Numbers need to be white only.

That away guernsey worn yesterday was terrible ... abo****e shocker and surely the worst in our history. It's like they have revived the "swooping crow" design but decided to make it 20% worse.

In a game where you so often have 30 players all milling arond the ball, a multi coloured guernsey like this makes it impossible to make out who is playing for who let alone individual players, especially at the Dome during the day with the roof open.

Our home strip is not much better, with all the colours together. There is no way we can have a go at Collingwood and Essendon for their pathetic attempts at "away" or "clash" guernseys while we continue to wear designs that clash with absolutely everything our oppositions wear.

It is time to be sensible and have almost plain strips. I would actually prefer all red at home and all yellow away because there are so may teams with dark blue or black.

I know everyone will start bleating about our traditional guernsey and colours, but hey, isn't being able to watch the game and tell who is who a lot more important? It was the players that one us those Premierships, I didn't see the guernseys get a stat, they were pretty much incidental I would say.

The "plain" jumpers could still have the other traditional colours in streaks down the side or something like that but not all over the front in amateurish designs that look like they have been come up with in a year 5 art class (one of Power's guernsey's last year was designed by a kid and it was better than what we wore yesterday).

This is a chance for us to be a leader in the competition and say enough is enough or we may as well all wear multi coloured jumpers hand knitted by grandma and try and guess who is in our team.

Will it happen? No, I wouldn't think so because the Crows are to scared to do anything to offend those fans who were at the GF's in '97 & '98 and continue to live off their glories.

If that is the choice of our administration then fine, but please no bleating about Essendon and Collingwood not having a proper clash guernsey either.

The home jumper is a classic. It is a traditional design. I am glad our club went down that path rather than the modern jumpers Freo and Port adopted, and have changed their home jumper more times than we have.

As for the clash one, its a dogs breakfast.

 

[Bosley]

They have already changed the home design a couple of times tho if subtly, like the outlines of the numbers and then the "cut" at the bottom / sides to make it look more streamlined? Honestly, I couldn't see the point of that except that it is a bit more flattering for the players' figures (unfortunately I have the original hoop design so that doesn't help me increasing girth).

If we conceded that the home guernsey will stay the same and it probably will than they must get the away design simplified. I just can't believe how bad it is, I am absolutely embarrassed by it.

 

[Geoffa32]

I reckon they should just invert the main colur for a clash jumper. Where it is mainly blue make it yellow.

I would stand out and still look like our club.
