Opinion Canterbury and our guernsey

[Orange Peanut]

No ones gives a sh*t about Canterbury. fu** them and Puma. But we can do better.
Puma is trash organization and would be a disgrace to have on the jumper

Got a link for this stuff Tazaa? Puma have a pretty proud history - paying black athletes when Adidas wouldn't for eg.
Curious to hear what's going on to make them trash.

Is it more about exploiting third world countries for manufacturing?

My workplace moved to Puma as preferred apparel supplier from 2xu and I don't mind it.

Obviously it's foolhardy of me to try and find any logic in the league's approach to jumper clashes, but the rules seem to be different now to what they were in 2016: if Geelong can now wear navy shorts at home against teams who aren't majority blue/navy/black, then presumably we can wear the white-with-blue-shorts combination against most sides in the league (exceptions being Geelong, West Coast, Western Bulldogs and maybe Fremantle; we should be fine against Carlton and Adelaide given we wore the blue strip against Carlton last season). I'd happily have us wear either white shorts (or the blue strip) in home games against those four clubs if it meant a return to our 'proper' home uniform for matches against the other thirteen.

That's what I want every home game.

Blue on White Guernsey.

Blue shorts.

Blue socks.

Make it happen Amarfio.

 

[ChoppyGun]

I'm happy for us to wear not ideal outfits if away but only when home it's the above and no stupid white policy will sway me.

It's our home game. So we wear what we want.

Our rules and opposition wear as they are told to.

the problem, and the reason the jumper ended up being ruled too light to be worn with blue shorts is that the stripes are too thin. ever since they switched to printed jumpers in the 90s they've had tiny thin stripes with big white spaces on the sides. if you just widen the stripes again (like Collingwood's new jumper) it won't be a problem and you'll get close to 50/50 blue and white

Looked awesome to me

I think they widened the stripes on what is now their away strip to make it closer to their 1990 premiership guernsey.

It would be interesting to get clarification from the AFL on the exact requirements.

Yep, just widen the blue stripes and it becomes more of a blue jumper. Simple. Also, don't have massive white cutouts in the blue stripes for sponsors.

 

[Hojuman]

Easy

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

If I read that right, the players pushed back against wearing white shorts for home games, so we changed our traditional jumper?!

WTF?!

The shade of blue looks different as well, a little lighter (more royal) than what we wear today.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Bigfooty North has to take some blame. The white shorts at home games fury was fever pitch here for months before it changed.

that's true but it looks like they're keeping them that way. this is the new kit they just announced:

there's a few weird little things like the lack of cuffs, but the stripes look big and wide and there's a good balance between black and white. also note the pinstripes on the away jumper are thin and subtle, like pinstripes are supposed to be

Not a fan of the cuffs or the back panel extending over the shoulders to the front of the jumper but the stripe width is good. The sponsor logo stretching across to the middle of the jumper also sucks.

 

[Liam Boy]

collingwood's front sponsors have been like that for years. personally i prefer it to the mazda logo cutting a big chunk out of the stripe

 

[BringBackRooRuckle]

Perfection!

Easy

Eddie had been pushing for years to remove the AFL logo so that another sponsored can be added. He won't be happy until we go the way of rugba league where every guernsey design is compromised by a massive logo.
