Re: New Jumpers for 2011

Horrible sponsor logo. But well done on the new sponsor Bombers :thumbsu:
Agreed with this and other similar sentiments.
Time to petition the AFL to force colour-coordinated sponsor's logos on uniforms (eg Adelaide's back of guernsey, Carlton's Hyundai) or at the very least make the block colour either the colour of the guernsey or (if it's over stripes/sash etc) one of the main colours of the guernsey???
Though I doubt it would do much good, the AFL wouldn't listen.

Re: New Jumpers for 2011

It's looks like NSW Pale Blue
PMS 277.

I have an NSW state jumper in that colour.

im a very frequent viewer of this board, but rarely post. But this time i think i have some interesting info.

i was in the giants store room earlier today and the "saints-like" jumpers were the only ones anywhere in sight. i had a good look at them, and they are definately the shade of light grey that is on a lot of their other merchandise.

hopefully whatever jumper they wear on saturday night looks good, because god knows they are going to cop the mother of all floggings

There's a reason why they're in a group with GC: to increase the odds of one of the new sides making it to the next round. Or, more likely, to increase the odds of just GC making in through to the next round.

Surprised they're not in a group with one of the bottom four.
 
Re: New Jumpers for 2011

Thank you cam :D

Now let's just hope Puma get the wings right...

(/me gets on hobby horse)
Won't happen. They'll use the same design they put on the shelves in 2010 (a "heritage", with no sponsors - which in retrospect was probably a trial for this), which uses the stock standard miniwings.

Was dirty I didn't get one last year (well, not a dirty jumper), but this smells of all sort of win :thumbsu:

Here's hoping they don't coque-up the name arrangement et al.

To add to that, to increase the odds of GC or GWS making it through, they were grouped with Sydney because of Sydney's terrible NAB Cup record, mainly due to playing a team of rookies every year.
 
Re: New Jumpers for 2011

Why should every team have to change there jerseys for Essendon..:thumbsdown: The Bombers should just design a clash that is WHITE just like every other team in the leauge. Really getting annyoed with essendon haha

Maybe Geelong, North, Hawthorn and West Coast should be made to wear their Dark uniforms as Home jumpers, instead of their Away too.

Essendon will produce a clash jumper when they need to.
Like when they're listed as the Away team in a game where they play a team they are listed as clashing with.

From the AFL Website:
Essendon vs Brisbane Lions
Brisbane Lions vs St.Kilda
Essendon vs St. Kilda

Re: New Jumpers for 2011

I maintain that a team can wear whatever GUERNSEY it likes at home, and the away team has to avoid the clash.
So if North wants to wear a mainly white (with royal blue stripes) top at home, a team like Geelong needs to wear something mainly not white (or royal blue) - eg mainly navy blue in the Cats' case.
SHORTS should be picked to help distinguish the teams.
So, in the above example, it would be silly for North to wear blue shorts and Geelong to wear white when their guernseys are white and blue respectively.
Geelong's been ok with this lately; last year in a home match against Port they wore white shorts and Port wore black.

So teams shouldn't be forced to wear a dark home top, especially if their home top is currently light. Their opposition should wear a dark home top and non-clashing shorts (maybe coloured!) to make sure there's no dark/light clash.

I don't think it's that, I would have thought it was because you get the opportunity to have two Sydney-based teams playing each other.

But you're all for forcing clubs to produce jumpers when you feel like they should. That's what you said above.
Essendon is listed as the Home team in both games, so why should they produce a clash jumper for this weekend?

The actual AFL law is that clubs provide Dark and Light uniforms.
So when Geelong, North, Hawthorn & West Coast wear Dark shorts with their Home jumpers, they are ignoring the law based on some claim to history that Home teams wear Dark shorts. Which was bizarre when South wore Black shorts at Lake Oval playing StKilda from the other side of Lake Oval in Red, White & Black.

West Coast is borderline. The front is 35 - 65 dark to light, the back however is more like 70 - 30 dark to light.

So being the home team, wearing dark shorts and socks is their choice.

North, Geelong and Hawthorn have more like 75-25 dark to light so should have to wear light shorts.
 
Re: New Jumpers for 2011

Do you have this list?

He posted it, the AFL fixture list has the games sorted as he posted. The assumption Essendon is the home team comes from the fact that they are listed in front, which on the standard fixture, home team is listed first.

I have the original lists from the AFL when they came out in 07.
And West Coast were listed with their Light uniform being the Home jumper, and the Dark uniform being the Away, Blue with Gold wings, jumper.
Maybe it's a deal they did with the club so they didn't have to change jumpers, but the information I had came straight from the AFL.
Same with North, their Argentina jumper is actually their Dark jumper.
Which is why there's changes made to it this year.
Initially Hawthorn's Clash jumper was going to have a White back, but they had to make it mostly Brown to fit as a mostly Dark jumper, so that too is their Dark uniform.

It's a very poorly worded document, and will probably get changed next time the marketing deal gets done, but that's the way they dscribe things.
 
Re: New Jumpers for 2011

I don't know about you, Bll, but Essendon aw really stawting to pss me owff.
(Whereas those Eagles, they're sure to look verr-yy striking in their canary yellow.)

The "home" team allocation didn't seem to dictate jumper descisions in the WCE/FD/H game - on every occasion the home team did not wear their preffered home strip, and each clash was catered for individually.
These NAB Cup tri-series render the home title trivial, particularly in same-state games.
Why should St Kilda have to whip out 2 preseason jumpers - that may possibly never see the light of day again - when the Bombers are supposedly "unveiling" a light "titanium" clash jumper the be used for this season and, i guess in some form or another, in perpetuality?

If that is true, how come the AFL don't enforce white/yellow shorts for the eagles', brown shorts for the hawks', and blue shorts with the Argentinian "dark" kits?

I don't believe for a second the latter has anything to do with light/dark ratio - its all about minimising the effect of the stripes vs Geelong and Collingwood.
Sky blue is a light colour, certainly moreso than royal - add in the different socks and shorts and there is a clear light-dark distinction between the strips that goes against what the AFL think.

Preferred =/= home on all occasions. West Coast has deliberately chosen to wear both its clash and its away jumpers at home in the past, as have other teams.
