The Sharks is very cool, but how could you be upset about being the Crows over the Rams?
You can do so much cooler s**t brand wise with a crow than a sheep. Imagine our goal celebration video at AO being "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".

It should be the Graham Kennedy faaaaaaark faaaaaaark!
Not the worst logo. But can't imagine anything else but the Crows now. Thought it made sense the Powa should have been the Sharks. Their silver/grey colour would have been useful for it too.

I noticed there was a small change in the logo or was just for this announcement
I suppose this is good news if you bought a 2022 guernsey, you can expect it to still look current in 2025

That different collar has shown up again
Fingers crossed.

So my wife went shopping yesterday, saw a retro Crows mug and socks set and bought it for me because she knows that logo is the goat. This is the set.
Any logo nerds spot the issue?
Further research shows there's a large range of this retro stuff available at the moment, all officially licensed and on official AFL and AFC stores. Hats, shirts, hoodies, keyrings, all the with the stripes wrong.
How does this even happen on an official product? Does it go through any approvals process at the club? Further, how do you even get that wrong? A simple google search brings up our logo, and surely they have vector images of these all in the vault ready to use. Clearly they've recreated the logo from scratch and botched a pretty important part. Jeez the AFL licenses some dodgy stuff.

The stripes, yes. The wording is accurate for 97/98, when we swapped to the ADELAIDE Crows instead of Adelaide CROWS.
The order of our stripes/hoops is kind of a big deal. Even if they got them in the wrong order repeatedly it'd be less jarring than them swapping halfway through.
I actually don't think it does. It seems we just get what we are told to sell.
How else do you explain those horrible custard yellow and faded blue BLK guernseys we had for a while.
Like surely no one at the club sent back some vibrant jumpers and said, too good, lets tone them down a lot.
The answer might have been that's all they were capable of doing with their current processes or whatever, but I can't imagine an Eddie McGuire (the new guy maybe...) telling Collingwood's supplier, yep no problem, we can use the brown stripes this year, try again next year.
And that's something as important as a guernsey, the AFL supplied stuff would be even more hands off.

Cannot believe Port didn’t use Sharks. Power is the worst name in the league. Yes, even worse than Suns.

It's a shocker (no pun intended). I hate any name like that that you can't apply to a single player. "Ball lands between a Crow and a Power... player." Same with Utah Jazz and Miami Heat, etc.
That said, I do love how everything about their club screams 90z kewl. The teal and silver, lightning bolts, outside the box name. In a way they're lucky they went power because if they went Sharks or Pirates with their marketing team you can almost bet they'd have come in as Port Piratez! Their club is like a "Jazz Cup" brought to life.

The first retro stuff to come out, it was our old logo. But it had the VFL logo on the side.....

Hmmmmm, idk.
On one hand, it looks slick, on the other, it also looks a training top.

Oh dear. That looks suspiciously like $120 flying out of my wallet.
That jumper looks pretty great.
Carlton have a white jumper this season?
