I've never noticed how out of whack the hawk's proportions are. Damn its freaky
First port jumper I ever owned
I feel like that hawks one would look great as a modern, tight fitting jumper
I always thought this was such a unique design. Not sure why it was criticised so much.
Exactly! couldn't have said it better myself
That guernsey was an instabuy for me. Just pissed that I got the mustard BLK version when we switched to ISC a year later. Have wanted a gold clash ever since our 2005 Heritage.
Can't understand why it gets so much hate from Crows supporters. Being yellow instantly puts it head and shoulders above any white design we've attempted purely due to being one of our colours. I've long been an advocate for us having 3 guernseys. Regular home (can be worn with blue or white shorts), and then 2 versions of the above, one in red and one in yellow. Not a single club we'd clash with if we had those 3 options, and no need to wear white ever again.
When we had it, I always wanted to go back to curved but I kind of miss it.
yep, can't stand this, would look so much cleaner if it was treated like Brisbane and Melbourne do their yokes.
I agree on all points. They need to go back to the Bloods V.Opposite time. A much-liked design that I hate:
Reasons:
-- It's a bastardisation of the classic South Melb jumper
-- The Opera House is kitsch, it's technically poor design
-- The front and back have completely different proportions of colour (not a cardinal sin but doesn't work well on field)
-- I hate the overall aesthetic of this with red shorts, and the thin stripy socks do not go with this block-colour design at all either.
It has no redeeming features except that the colours pop against some other teams like WCE.
This actually comes in about 5th in my all-time worst jumpers. Sorry everyone, especially Freight Train, who just nominated it for best ever.
A wardrobe full of unwearable fan gear (from Wally's favourite team).
Dang. Eh, a wins a win

I'd have gone hoops as an homage to rugby league in Sydney whilst maintaining a club-worn design if you're going to avoid the vee. In the era of sublimation it would have been interesting to see if they would have chosen a different design instead though.

Is it just an opera house though? I always thought it was a clever double-symbol representing the opera house and swan feathers?Opposite time. A much-liked design that I hate:

Yeah the B triangle is garbage, very 80s. I do however like the colours.
There's a few people around that think that. Personally, I've never seen any part of a swan's anatomy that looks exactly like the Opera House. The shape is a literal, perfect silhouette of the building. If it was supposed to reference feathers as well, you could push it to become more abstract/feathery and it would become a decent design concept. As it stands, it ain't.
