Roast Error in 20yr book

[clivenator26]

Check the jumper history out on page 70, the jumper dubbed "straight and narrow" is non existent, it is similar to the one we wore in 01-04 but not quite the same colour scheme and enough of a difference for me to spot right away.

I checked in with footyjumpers.com and reflected back to old year books just to make sure.

Pretty average effort. But not a bad looking jumper anyway!

Oops, wrong attachment.

Pretty strange error to make..

That away jumper from 1998-2000 was by far the worst.

The shield thingy those (adidas?) jumpers had on the back looked ridiculous.

Yeah the book had us as finishing seventh in 1995.

I think the straight anchor one that came after it was much worse (the real one, not the made up one in the book).

At least most of the 98 jumper was a nice shade of purple, the one after that was just a garish mess.

The only book you need is Way To Go, not this official, sanitised, PR pamphlet. That '98 jumper as "jazzy?" It's a mess from a design, footy, and decency perspective!

Got home from work and what do I see sitting on the kitchen table ?



Wifey saw it while she was in Dymocks and thought I might want it. She's not a bad old girl. She's always giving me things. All I give her is grief apparently .

I pre ordered this off the website and wont be seeing it until "After August 1st."

Bastards. If the posty bends it or rips a corner, my mrs cat is not going to be happy.

Yeah, but Way to Go was written in mid 2003, there's a lot of stories to be told since then, need to cover the next decade. It's such bullshit that Matt Price succumbs to a brain tumour, just very unfair that good writers disappear and aren't around long enough, just like Grybas with commentary. God is a prick sometimes. I have no doubt Price would have been keen on another belter of a novel in the wake of the 20th season and maiden GF appearance.

Les isn't in the same class, and reading it so far definitely would do with some Price, but he is a decent enough candidate for a book like this given the options available.

I was never a fan of any of the gradient designs that were all the rage in the late 90s and early 00s when synthetic materials started being used.

On another look, wtf is with the shield design on the back?

I stand by my assertion that this is Freo's worst ever jumper and probably top five worst in AFL history (only West Coast's ochre and Hawthorn's jockey design definitely worse).

Edit: and the drop shadow!

MY EYES!

Man, our re-design and re-branding is slick by comparison to other clubs - let alone by comparison to the rainbow-vomit anchor combos we used to wear

FWIW I liked the purple haze and white with purple anchor jumpers - but the 3 V's just scream sexiness

Actually, the 3 Vs scream blandly going where everybody has gone before. It's a nice safe compromise for people who aren't fully committed to the club, effectively nothing more than a marketing ploy.

Each to their own, but the 3 V's at least are in part, a tribute to the original FFC and the Purple is representative of the combination of East/South Freo

Like I said, I loved the Purple and White versions of our original anchor jumpers, but the 3 V's is quite classy in comparison - pretty sure we've had this same argument before (when the original change was outlined) and we agreed to disagree, so let's just leave it at that

The anchor was bad feng shui

 

[PavSandHill]

The Chevrons are a stylised version of a Fremantle based footy club's strip dreamed up for the heritage round in 05! Jeff Farmer modelled them in the survey to members as which strip was preferred, this has been absolutely denied by the current administration, doesn't suit the current approved historical chronology of events!

Personally I prefer the purple haze jumper, & think this was also proved as the most popular that lead to the chevrons!

The current "colour" is better than last years, or some batches, or whatever, but it's main claim to fame is, it's controversy (is it, isn't it), & the fact that it's current hue requires us to wear our away strip in our first GF, and now having set that precedent, with the Blues, who previously wore sky blue when on "our" turf!

Another change imminent perhaps? Nah, surely not!

Why are they so happy? It can't be that we actually won an away game in that strip. Must be pumped 'cause we made they line and they had all chipped in.

lacks even the hypnotic charm of this.

It's a pity ochre and drop shadowed gradient anchor with shield on the back never faced off in an actual game.

Likely have torn a hole in the fabric of reality and heralded the oncoming apocalypse.
