News Hawthorn and Under Armor sign on for 2026 and beyond

[hr_23]

I personally think embracing it would do us a lot of good, esp in the age of social media (where taking the piss ala gws is funny). Was a shame the club ended up vetoing in a few years back, would of been more memorable than whatever we ended up doing

Edit: Also not impressed at all with any of the under armour kits. While Sketchers doesn't have a great name, I thought their kits were quite nice. Much more impressive than whatever the team polo is, it just looks so cheap.

The big Hawk won the vote against the diamond... i personally voted for the diamond but definetly love the big Hawk,

Sketchers didnt manafacture the kits, it was ISC & ISC is still manafacturing the kits but they have basically been bought out by Under Armour hence the change in branding.. more Polo's are on the way even a brown one is coming

 

[BIGHAWK23]

The manufacture is exactly the same ISC

Quality is exactly the same

Logo is different

Under Armour has a much larger product patents

Don't mind the big Hawk due to the nostalgia, but we just won a semi-final in the gold with brown monogram. I sincerely hope it isn't being scrapped as an alternate playing strip.

Diamond jumper coming back as a retro round would be a big hit.

Club should do it, really embrace the "ugliness" and cash in

Or could we see a sneaky 10 year anniversary of the power ranger geurnsey? The ugliness choices are prime for us

It's a training guernsey though. Can't believe it got as much of a run as a did this season

The UA logo makes the jumper look much better than it did with Sketchers imo

I think that’s what they( Skechers )were trying to change , their bad image of cheap ugly shoes . Dylan Moore wore Skechers footy boots all year they aren’t too bad from all reports.

They serve a market in Australia, affordable shoes for people

They are not a premium sportswear brand

People got mad when I said this a few years ago, be careful

Love these!

 

[palmomagpie]

Wonder if any of those end up as a Gather Round shirt - they look like geurnseys rather than training singlets, much like the gold one this year

Once you hit middle age wearing baseball hats in public should attract a custodial sentence

So what do you suggest is more appropriate?? Terry Towling bucket hats ??

Not sure but baseball hats functionally are so useless- they just keep the sun out of your face without protecting your ears/back of the neck and look bloody terrible to boot. Everyone who wears them reminds me of that dweeb outta the offspring pretty fly video clip. Another terrible yank invention

Mate we’re in Australia - cork hats or nothing thank you

I never understood why so many blokes wore baseball hats everywhere. Now that I’m approaching my mid 30s and the hairline is shrinking, I get it. Bucket hats make you look like a speed dealer, but are more practical. For a fella with a thick moustache like me, I become an instant target for crackheads, 18 year olds wanting to party and coppers. A baseball cap offers bugger all practical protection but more mental . A good wide brimmed Bunnings hat (or hawthorn hat if you’re lucky) is great for mowing the lawn or attending school/family gatherings

My legionnaires hat addresses all the shortcomings of the baseball cap and bucket hat while also being a natural contraceptive.

Ps we play Gold Coast in Tassie on Anzac Day so assume we’ll have an Anzac guernsey again
