Discussion Jumpers That Never Were

[GetAroundHim99]

any more news if the new pies swoop will be worn

Don't think we'll be wearing it I'm afraid... Shame as I really like it and would love to see them wear it as a clash uniform but apparently the rumour is that club president Jeff Browne hates the Swooping Magpie and doesn't want the club wearing it as we were meant to be wearing it earlier in the year against Adelaide at the MCG but it never happened.

But that's just from what I've heard and I'm the furthest away from being an insider at the club so that could be complete BS. I honestly don't know what's going on with it.

It has been confirmed that it wont be worn

 

[BigChippa52]

Unfortunate is it eligible to be put in here, I wonder what a white version would look like

 

[Fizzler]

Maybe they plan on saving it for gather round in 2024, if special jumpers become something that every club gets in on.

would be good really want to see the dees do something really gone plain and boring with our kits in the last few years

South Sydney's planned 2000 jersey before they were kicked out of the NRL before the 2000 season

From their website;

In 1999, the NRL approved our new jersey which we were planning to use in 2000 if we survived the criteria, which wasn’t to be. The jersey was all myrtle green with a cardinal red outline of a rabbit, with a black stripe on the sleeves with Rabbitohs written in red. The jersey was nicknamed the ‘Opera House’ jersey because of the shape of ears on the rabbit. This jersey was never released for sale.

South Sydney's planned 2000 jersey before they were kicked out of the NRL before the 2000 season

From their website;

I saw somewhere ages ago that there were going to be variations of this design where the bottom half was going to be black or white (or something like that) a bit like what the Broncos did around the same time (where the sleeves were different colours depending on opponent) but haven't been able to find it since.

Just weird thinking about an alternate universe where we wore that in 2000 and 2001...

Just looks so wrong

These came up at the freo locker room sale

Those Freo kits are "jumpers that never were" in more ways than one. You could call them fauxbacks as the purple haze / white clash jumpers were never worn with the pre-2001 old-school anchor.

Training jumpers that never were. Real shame that, in my eyes this should be Freo’s jumpers, down to the OG anchor shape.

Perfection.

Just when you thought you were having a good day, the Paddle Pop era rears it's ugly head and reminds us all that it did indeed actually happen

That's Fremantle's greatest ever guernsey that predominately haze one with that specific anchor design that they haven't worn onfield yet. They really should reconsider reviving the anchor but with that specific haze design.

Effect on the Crow was going to be different, and a red hoop got cut.

Another variant, with the prototype flash effect but with the less hoops of the final.
