Opinion Dear Hawthorn...

[eldorado]

Please dump the "Fans are #1" marketing exercise, and give a player the #1 jumper.

Signed

Eldorado, and all following signatories

 

[TylerDurden]

Yes please.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Long overdue

 

[palmomagpie]

Scrimshaw is a Hawthorn fan, we can give it to him without upsetting the "fans are #1" slogan can't we?

 

[EIGHTYEIGHTEIGHTYNINE]

Please assign it to Harry Morrison

I honestly do wonder... how many people buy a Hawthorn guernsey and chuck a number 1 on the back? Surely anybody who goes and gets numbers will get one with relevance to them (birth year , lucky number etc.) or their fav. player. But surely there isn't anyone who goes "ahh yep number 1 is for the fans, ill get that" and then proceeds to answer, when asked "hey mate who's number are you wearing", they respond saying the fans. Seems a bit of a waste

Dear Hawthorn......you had me at hello.

 

[Dewnior]

How many people signed the "don't trade Burton" petition and how did that turn out?

 

[grizzlym]

Signed me.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Any Hawthorn fans on Twitter - tweet your feelings to Jeff. He seems to read some stuff thrown his way.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

I second that proposal

 

[dermott]

Absolutely.

 

[Billyc]

Yep. Failure of a marketing gimmick.

Has received no traction, nobody likes it/gets it. Bin it.

 

[parsons nose]

Agreed. A platitude that should have be put to bed a the moment it was suggested.

 

[WireHawk]

Give number 1 to Irving Mosquito. All the kids ,and quite a few adults, will be wearing the number one jumper.

P.S. Maybe a bit premature.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Compliant

 

[Brishawk]

Yes! Is there anyone anywhere that actually likes the initiative?

 

[TylerDurden]

It’s a US concept. Marketing BS.

I’d go as far to say it’s Un-Australian.

More importantly................delete 36 from the system permanently

More importantly................delete 36 from the system permanently

Exactly, has far greater impact to the football dept. than worrying about whether or not as player has No. 1 jumper.

#36 destroys careers!

 

[MinerBoy]

Has never crossed my mind for a single second lol.
