You're right, but still... it's bad enough with the AFL having 3 teams withe blue and white - and they're all different shades!

What bugs me more about the American pro sports is how teams up-and-go constantly. Why does a team leave its established home base - in some cases after a very short period of time? Do people over there just have a really short attention span?

It's because a lot (or all?) of the teams are privately-owned, so a lot of the moves are purely for financial reasons (or for reasons like disagreements with local cities about venues, stuff like that). The views of the fans pretty much mean squat.

A combination of Jimmy's idea above and todays announcement of the new Washington Wizards jerseys, I have come up with these designs for the Gold Coast
They are top notch Craegus

Been trawling these forums for a couple of years, better late than never to make my first post I guess...
On the whole I prefer simple, traditional style designs (eg. Melbourne, St Kilda home jerseys etc) over "more different" styles (eg. Hawthorn clash jersey).
I put most of these together several months ago when I was on leave and had some time to kill, there are around 70 or so designs - some are only very minor tweaks to current designs, others are influenced by past design and other are just things that looked "interesting" as I was playing around.
Below is a handful of some I liked more than others, the whole bunch can be found here.
Adelaide Crows - Clash
Something a little different, but keeping their crow's head (which I still think looks really unbalanced when place on a jersey
Fremantle Dockers - "Heritage" Clash
It is only really "heritage" in the sense that it reintroduces red and green.
Geelong Cats - Clash
Lighter by virtue of there being less horizontal stripes, perhaps something more suited to a training jersey?
Gold Coast Suns - Home
Basically a traditional yoke design (eg. Melbourne Demons) but in the Suns' colours.
GWS Giants - Home
A new team, so something 'new' (I'm not really a huge fan of the off-centre G design they picked). A clash version could easily be made by simple swapping the charcoal for white.
Melbourne Demons - Clash
I've seen several members on here suggest something similar to this, this is my take on the idea.
West Coast Eagles - Home
The standard 'wings' design but in the current 'darker' colours. I've also done away with the wing tips on the back in favour of a solid panel... don't hurt me.
Western Bulldogs - Home
Something more traditional (not sure what year I based this jersey on?) since so many seem to dislike" the bulldog on the front of the current jersey.
Lots more over here, and I've still got a few more sitting unfinished in a folder somewhere.

That's a really good looking portfolio host as well. I agree with many of your concepts. Well done.

Not really an improvement but an idea for heritage jumper for the Lions. Based on Bears jumper with the old lion.
Very good.
I hope you dont mind but I copied it, added a bear logo and reduced the yellow on the back.
I think its a bit sad that bear logo was dropped totally, they should include reminders in future designs. It is little things like that which make a difference I think.

Yeah, it does look better with less yellow on the back. Thanks man

"BBFFC" contains the only reminder... it should have a space in it though, "BB FFC".
The bear logo isn't too bad but when scaled down so much, it looks like Mickey Mouse.
Lions reserves should be called the Brisbane Bears and wear the last Bears kit, when they play in the North Eastern league. No need to keep a Fitzroy presence there as there's already Fitzroy in the VAFA.

Crows clash. Primarily yellow, thus the cut off stripes. I used a KooGa template as they seem to be signing quite a few AFL clubs.
Swans clash.

That Crows clash is weirdly cool. It's modern but doesn't deviate too much from the home. Nice
As for the Swans jumper, in all honesty I don't like it at all. Get rid of all the silver and then it will look a lot better. I did love the hoops guernsey earlier in the year, but if they do appear then they should be in red IMO.

Not big on the Swans one.
But the Crows one is excellent, the idea of cutting them off on an angle sounds weird in theory, but looks really good.

It would certainly be convenient for us designers to have teams wearing dark jumpers with dark shorts... but I'm not sure on the Hawks. I don't mind it, but I like seeing the masses of gold in the crowd.
