Changes to the Jersey

[cruel_world00]

hey sorry for the influx of threads (although 2 is hardly a lot) I was just wondering if anyone happened to see the "side comment" that rucci made in the paper a few days ago, possibly last weekend, it said something about the crows jersey adding "new stripes", anyone heard anything about that??

I dunno if it was for our away jersey or for the home one, but it was a very tiny comment made..and it wasn't talking about the much "maligned" heritage round

 

[cruel_world00]

hmmm maybe I'm just crazy or delusional as noone seems to know what I'm talking about

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Hey mate, Rucci is always making snide little remarks about the Crows, don't worry about it. The guys a loser with absolutely no credibility or common sense and has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to us- in other words, just another run of the mill Port Power supporter.

 

[The Toolman]

We do need a better away strip though.....more predominantly red or yellow.

 

[Cap]

Maybe against the brighter coloured teams we could go all black with eyes on the side in red and the numbers in red (to make it look like a crow !!)

anyway thats something different.

the problem with the crows colours is that they are in every other clubs colours as well so we cannot go all one colour.

Port for instance could have a jumper of teal because really, who has teal in their jumper,actually saying that don't they have 4 colours ?

There is talk that there will be a new away strip next year.

Yeah, Trigg just confirmed this on Ch9, as there hasn't been a change to our away strip fro a while.

Note the home strip will remain unchanged, as it should.

I think this would be a good away jumper as it would also eliviate clashes.

I have always been of the belief that we need different away strips that can be used depending on the opposition, to avoid clashes. We could have the same design, but 3 jumpers - 1 predominatly blue, another red & the other yellow.

The more the better. At least we'll have some heritage jumpers to choose from in the year 2105.

 

[DaveW]

Love it.

 

[macca23]

Love it.

So do I - looks great. Kane's right though that there should be multiple away guernseys with a yellow, blue or red base depending on who we're playing.

 

[Blind Fred]

How about they use the new heritage jumper as the away guernsey. It would be worth it just to hear the reaction from Rucci.

 

[cruel_world00]

the yellow one is good but obvioulsy it would have to be one of the other designs you were saying if we played someone like hawthorn

We could just wear our home jumper against them.

This looks great in terms of design......I would like to see the yellow and blue swapped around......ie blue jumper with 3 stripes across - 2 red 1 yellow in the middle ........or even a "V" design similar to the Australian Jumper.....but obviously with red and yellow V.

The predominantly yellow jumper is perfect for what is needed. If it clashes with Hawthorn, we wear our home jumper.

Mad Dog! Haven't you just described our home jumper??

 

[Crowz Gal]

Hey then what happens to those who have bought an away strip guernsy ???

 

[Mad Dog]

Mad Dog! Haven't you just described our home jumper??

...no - not really - I like the small stripes......I would prefer just to invert the blue and yellow.........only 'cos I would prefer not to have a predominantly yellow jumper......especially for marketing purposes.

I'm not against the predominantly yellow jumper - I think it looks great.... ....all I'm saying is.....why wouldn't we take this opportunity to come up with one that doesn't clash with anyone ?

Coz when you are sitting in the Southern Stand at the MCG staring out at Melbourne v Adelaide, or to a lesser extent when we play Essendon or the WB, our current away strip is a nightmare as a fan. Especially now old Nige has retired - he was the only player you could work out from either team on a sunny day!

FWIW, love the proposed design.

you end up with an old one....nah every other team swap away Guernseys at the end of each season, dont tell the fans really and some are left with old ones

 

[ignoranus]

I hate the yellow one.

We'd be instantly known as the Canaries!
