Opinion Canterbury and our guernsey

[RobZombie]

No mate, I'm in your camp as well.

Not upset if they bring it back as a clash strip as a lot of people like it, but personally prefer it to be left to history.

White with royal blue stripes, royal blue knicks, royal blue hose for home. White knicks, royal blue and white hooped hose away.

Perfection in my opinion.

Personally prefer the hooped hose in all cases but can’t argue with it.

Yes it is perfection and the only possible clash is Geelong. If we had a white V clash jumper, it would be apt to wear that against Geelong as the first time the white V was ever worn by NMFC was in round 1 of our first season in the VFL in 1925 when the opponent was Geelong.

Nah I’m with you Hoj. It’s fine. Belongs in its own time. Doesn’t need to keep coming back.

I get this thought. But 90s nostalgia is huge across Australian, even Western, culture atm so I get the appeal of bringing back perhaps the most iconic 90s strip.

 

[Colbys Boots]

It's also kind of strange that a few people are clamouring for a nostalgia jumper that was used just two years ago.

If the blue stripes are wider as they were from the 70s and 80s instead of the weak thin stripes that got progressively worse from the 90s onwards, then it is a much better and stronger jumper. I fully expect Puma to have followed this brief as they know what they're doing.

Really like to 80's jumper, I like the thicker stripes. What I really like is the shade of blue, it's more vibrant and bright while the current shade is rather dull.

And as a further nod to that famous day, Geelong should donate us the gate takings

At my age, the ‘90s isn’t so much nostalgia as “seems like it was just last week”. Nostalgia is woollen jumpers with a collar.

For some reason I don’t like the hooped hose with the blue knicks.

That’s because we have had the worst strip in our history for possibly 2 of our worst seasons in the last 30+ years.

I swear I have PTSD from that horrible strip (went to every game in QLD 2020 except Adelaide game… yep 0 wins).

2019 we had such a strong set.

Love the look of the warm up Puma shirts, hope we get them with NORTH on the front!

I’d be happy with this!

Looks like it has a blue back / number panel.

Hojuman make it happen, for us.


The Lakers unveiled a new sponsor for their jersey patches Monday: Bibigo, a South Korean line of dumplings, sauces and frozen meals.

The five-year agreement is worth more than $100 million, according to people familiar with the deal but not authorized to disclose its terms publicly. NBA jersey patch deals have sold for an average range of $7 million to $10 million per year, according to The Athletic.

Already a few S.K. sponsorships around yeh ?
. Carlton - Hyundai
. Hawks - Samsung ?
. Dees used to have Hankook l think ?
. LG were with someone.

Don't think Bibigo would be on too many lips here.

I reckon we could get those Squid Game people on board. They seem to be pretty flush with cash, and if we’re struggling at any point in the game, we just send in the new mascot

An Instagram user called PM6Design whipped this clash up for me, I think it's fantastic and I'd really like to see the Blue V back in the fold. I really like what he did with the Mazda logo too!

I'd buy a lace up guernsey if they brought one out. Always liked the lace up, very old school.

Of all the North players that would have worn lace ups, for some reason I have a recurring memory of Steve McCann rocking one.

I or should I say my mum bought me a lace up jumper in the mid 80's from Charlie Suttons sports shop in Footscray. Have only ever worn it at our GF's. Hopefully gets another run soon... Still in excellent condition. Rather uncomfortable to wear out on the footy field I reckon. Hopefully Puma brings out some decent gear. The Canterbury outlet in Harbour Town on the Gold Coast has some good bargains whenever I've been there in recent years. Will probably be giving North gear away now.

Weren't the lace ups made with a real canvassy sort of material ?

 

[disco_cowboy]

Do our colours need to be white and blue for our away strip?

Can we go full EPL and do like a yellow jersey or something?

Wow, they're great, thanks. Found myself a Xmas pressie! I'm still living in the 70's, so that will suit me down to the ground.

I'm not sure. They don't look comfy, but they make quite a fashion statement.

And Ross Glendinning.

 

[Hojuman]

Few blokes had them on in '74, '75 grand final's iirc.

 

[Wels Eicke]

Ok

Just had a look at the 75 premiership photo, Arnold Briedis is wearing a lace up. What a champion he was, 5 goals in the grannie.

Something like that. There wasn’t any stretch in them so they were hard to grab in a tackle.
Unless you managed to get your fingers into the laces, which is why they were banned actually, as they caused some finger damage

 

[Hojuman]

Think Briedis, Wade, Blight, Nolan had 'em on during the game. Probably a couple of others.

Bertie would confirm.
