Re: Create an AFL Guernsey

The anchor is tradition for us now.

If there's a jumper change over the next few years it'll simply be a switch to just purple and white.

my idea for a new freo jumper coz I think they need a change

freonewjumperdesignclash.jpg


and a clash to go with it, I like this clash better than the main one, I made a point to include all the freo colours unlike there real clash which doesn't use all there colours which i think is rediculous

p.s 4 colours in one jumper is harder than everyone think, just to say

These look fabulous!

I would buy one of each if the were produced. I brought a Lions one when they went Fitzroyish!
 
Re: Create an AFL Guernsey

Top right if we're going to be specific about it but I'm talking about the design of the jumper.

Love it or hate it, it's unique to Freo and I don't see it leaving in the forseeable future.

Red and green may go but the anchor will remain.

and they sure must be loyal... having to still wait for a grand final appearance (and only a few rare final appearances) in 10 odd years!

sorry mate that was stupid- shoulda said a MORE traditional guernsy in football terms. and with south freo having a similar 'V' i see that as very traditional.

If u do just go with Purple and White i think that'ld look good- i like ur away strip
 
Re: Create an AFL Guernsey

Freo are Freo, they're misunderstood but they're happy the way they are and because they have so many devoted fans they have no reason to change.
The anchor is a lot more original and recognisable than V's anyway and even though people say the anchor "keeps them stuck at the bottom" the fact is, an anchor could also keep you stuck at the top.

One suggestion I'd make though is to have the purple haze jumper as an away jumper against teams with light jumpers. Just so it gets played in more.

I don't know what anchors you play with (blow up maybe?) but all the ones I have seen sink to the bottom, never stay at the surface. :p

I agree Fremantle's anchor is far better than a V. It suits the area, it's simple but unique. The only thing that keeps their guernsey from being damn good is the multiple colours. But even then, I would like to see anyone attempt better. The fact is, purple clashes with green, purple clashes with red, red clashes with green, it's very hard to design a guernsey with three harsh colours like that. Fremantle have done it perfectly and split it with a white anchor. That's not to say they shouldn't drop the red and green; they should.

Re: Create an AFL Guernsey

Hey guys. this is the first clash jumper I designed, a while ago now. Just found (thanks to Smeagle) how to upload the image. I'm pretty happy with it and think it would eliminate all jumper clashes.:thumbsu:

I think its good but I think it would be better if you made the top half grey aswell because it clashes too much with the black, especially with grey shorts. Then where the grey/black and white lines are either side of the sash make them a bit wider and black. Also make the sash a bit narrower, kinda like the Heritage Round jumper they wore a few years back.

Well, anchors sink to the bottom but they keep you in the one place. If they were at the top they can be anchored to the top.

They don't stay in one place though, they sink then stay. An anchor never stays at the surface..

Why am I arguing about physics on a footy jumper board? haha.

ARGHH, the boat, the boat stays. Fremantle are the boat in this stupid hypothetical situation. Screw it, you're right, anchors are stupid, I'm gonna go do something else.

But Fremantle aren't a boat.

That's like saying the kangaroos will constantly be shit, cause kangaroos shit. Fremantle can't be good cause the boat stays, they are the anchor that gets thrown overboard straight to the bottom of the ladder.

haha, I could do this all day :p
 
Re: Create an AFL Guernsey

Technically, we're the Dockers, so we're the ones throwing the anchor over. Hence, we must be in the boat.

Technically you aren't actually.

In February 1996, Levi Strauss & Co., which produces the Dockers brand of clothing, challenged the club's right to use the name "Fremantle Dockers", specifically on clothing.[7] As a result, the club and AFL discontinued the official use of the "Dockers" nickname in 1997.

heres my variation

I didnt know what to do with the back because black and white numbers are both hard to read if the sash extends all the way to the shoulder
