Jumpers Survey

[Balip]

Did everyone else get the jumpers survey in the magazine that came yesterday? I was pleasantly suprised to see they were asking the members opinions on something like this. Afterall it's us that end up buying the merchandise.

I thought great I'll vote for the purple haze one to be the home one and the current home one to be the away one but it can't be done. The home one doesn't have the option to become the away one which was a little disapointing.

I'm thinking of voting for the white jumper to become our away strip.

I thought great I'll vote for the purple haze one to be the home one and the current home one to be the away one but it can't be done. The home one doesn't have the option to become the away one which was a little disapointing.

My exact thoughts - and hubby agreed also. So I just wrote all over it, added new tick-boxes so it could say what I wanted it to say.

Then next to the current home strip, I wrote: "make this the away strip"
Next to Purple Haze, I wrote: "make this the home strip"
Next to the current away strip, I wrote: "Scrap this - too many lines/panels"
And clash strip, I wrote: "keep this the clash strip"

That way I said everything I wanted...

Also, I think it was a bit of an oversight that there was no option to keep our original jumper, except for home games. That was the first one, and we should keep it in some capacity - it would look fine with white shorts, whereas the purple haze would not have the same effect with white shorts... Also, even though purple is our colour, red and green have meaning in our club colours and should be kept.

But the purple haze for every home game would be awesome... purple is our colour - make it show I reckon!

Just cos it says one thing, doesn't mean you can't still have your say to make it say something else!!

Can anyone selecting the Clash jumper for any games add "NOT WITH WHITE SHORTS!" to the sheet!

Purple shorts won't clash with anyone and white shorts make the guys look like umpires.

I haven't gotten the mag yet, but my preference would be this,

Current Home Jumper to be worn all the time whether home or away, then the white clash strip used as need for away games only.

Heritage jumper - Heritage game only

Purple haze jumper - Haze game only or possibly as an alternate clash strip

That white 1 they wore the udda week was AWESOME!!!

What are the options? (I don't have the mag)

 

[ImperialPurple]

1. Current home strip can be:
a) retained as the home strip, or
b) ditched

2. Current away strip can be:
a) retained as the away strip, or
b) ditched

3. The all purple "Purple Haze" strip can be:
a) retained as the Purple Haze strip only, or
b) made the home strip, or
c) made the away strip


4. The white clash strip can be:
a) retained as the clash strip only, or
b) made the away strip


IMO, they also needed:
1.c) make this the away strip

 

[Kapow!!!]

Just to really change the colours of the club I'd:

1. ditch
2. ditch
3. Home Strip
4. Away Strip

But that's just me

Why not just use this one

Fair dinkum, How many jumpers do we need? How many jumpers do Essendon have? Does the marketing department want to get rid of 2 colours?
Purple haze - great for once a year.
Heritage jumper - heritage game only
White clash jumper - makes them look like a bunch of queers.
