Guernsey Talk

Designed these a while ago. Thought I would post it here.

Basically the return of the old lion. Used navy/dark blue instead of royal blue and made the yoke higher with matching back. Which results in making the numbers stand out more. Blue cuffs. Overall more maroon less blue.

Not a bad effort!

Yeah I did the same design for the home jumper. I love it. Really hope we go with that.

 

[Full Wingspan]

So simple, yet so much better. Something very classy about that maroon and blue.

Am I reading too much into Vossy's comment on 7 news tonight along the lines of " the guys are showing a real belief in the club and the jumper" ?

Yes I believe you are. It is still the Lions jumper and we want the players to show belief in it.

Again, I like these.....the only thing is with the clash jumper....I want that to reflect the Bears colours, so therefore would need to be a maroon....the above seems to be red..

Other than that, its a big from me..

Looks more like the cerise of the 1989-1991 Bears guernsey. Pretty yuck isn't it.

As a side note, I expect that the main jumper will be a more traditional design next year but I'd be surprised if the clash jumper was just a palette swap. I think they'll try to do something different again with the clash jumper.

Yeah it really is basically the perfect design. Here it is again.

As for the Clash jumper - I can live with the Club trying something new (if we get the old Lion back on our main jumpers). Although I would really prefer a gold based jumper rather than a white one. To me, the 2005-06 clash jumper is clearly much better than anything we have had since. I would prefer something along those lines (if the Bears inspired one isn't a goer).

 

[Brisroy Fitzbane]

Those ones
From Warner Bros ... Particularly the home jumper... Are the best I have seen.
Beautiful. Colours are all class. Looks modern... Yet classic/timeless.

Worth quoting again, truly a thing of beauty

Please. No white for the clash guernsey. You have so many colours to choose from. Imagine you're in a grand final. You flip a coin and it lands on the side. Eddie looks in the book to find some obscure rule that says "thou shalt wear your ugliest guernsey". Fat fetched but hey, worse case scenario.

I'd rather us wear a white clash jumper in the Grand Final than our current jumper. You can always change it for the premiership presentation.

Spot the freudian slip.

Anyone else notice this on the Micky Conlan video

Bwahaha I had far fetched or fat chance in my mind. Did neither.

That rich maroon and blue gives me tingles, if we wear it next year I'll be the happiest man on Earth.

Not sure about the all yellow though, something about it look a bit tacky to me. But hey, if that's our home jumper I don't care what we wear interstate.

I personally don't think we should reduce the amount of gold on our guernsey, ie. the cuffs. Gold was the only colour that was a constant throughout the history of the bears guernseys, and is about the only colour on the guernsey post merger that has stayed exactly the same - the maroon is different to anything the Bears ever had.

As it stands we have maroon similar to the older Fitzroy jumpers, the blue from the newer Fitzroy jumper and the gold that was on every Bears jumper (and Fitzroy's newer jumper). I think that is a fair balance between the joint history of the club. Also think that it has a good level of contrast between the colours that the darker option presented doesn't have.

I agree that the dark colour combination looks nice, but we should not be changing the colours for our home guernsey. The club has already caused enough controversy by changing the lion and the layout. At least the colours are the same as they have always been since 1997.

magpieshooter - just to pick you up on something small - the colours on our home guernseys have not stayed completely the same since 1997. Our early jumpers had a much lighter maroon (particularly in 1997 if I remember correctly) and the change to new material overtime has made the maroon look even darker. Have a look at any of pictures or watch any game from around 1997 and you will see the difference is pretty significant.

It is not actually reflected in footyjumpers.com, but I know what my eyes see - and I even have a jumper from that period vs. 2009 - the difference is pretty obvious.

Anyway, in terms of causing controversy or not - there is a reasonably straight forward way to address that. Give members the right to vote for the jumper they prefer. You can't really argue against the outcomes of a preferential voting system, so long as the different options cover the range of expectations (for the home jumper):
- the current jumper(s)
- a return to the 2001-03 jumper
- an updated / darker version of the old jumper (such as TBD has suggested)
- some other variation

Fair enough. I concede that the maroon on the guernsey in 1997 was closer to that of the Bears in 1996.

The colour of the cuffs and colar were the main issue I had with the proposal. The colour used on each part of the guernsey has remained the same, even if the shades changed slightly with the changings of fabric.

I guess I'm just presenting a counterpoint towards those that have argued so strongly against the current guernsey (and fair enough), yet are open to the idea of changing the use and positioning of the colours. I personally see these as more important then the design of the lion.
