But yeah, you're right. Looks pretty terrible.

I'm not having a go at Port, it is Reebok who should be providing them jumpers of a professional standard.

And a decent chunk of this:

Why is that not their home guernsey? I know with the orange back, the guernsey they went with is predominantly orange anyway, but in a league where there are far too many black/blue/dark purple teams already, they introduce charcoal for no real reason? It's why I don't get all this irrational love for North's royal blue clash and the calls for it to be their home guernsey. It looks pretty good, but North has tried umpteen different guernseys over the years and almost all of them have looked great (in before Orange and Argentina). Someone thinks they should reverse the colours and people act like they've come up with an AIDS vaccine.

There's far too many dark home guernseys in the competition and Geelong, North Melbourne, Sydney and Collingwood should wear predominantly white for just that reason (and to honour their heritage).

Oh, and Asics boots. How lame.

??? Unless it was due to a sponsorship deal, I wouldn't wear anything else (maybe Nomis), playing on AFL surfaces. Come to think of it, I haven't worn anything else for about 5-6 years now.

I'm so glad the public shifted towards their current guernsey, and not the plain orange one, that option is just Gold Coast's guernsey with the GWS colours and logo.

I'm not sure how relevant it is here, however this appears to be the UWS Giants (GWS reserves) 2012 playing strip.

I really think they're on the right track with this one but it just looks a bit too cluttered at the moment.

Here's my go at cleaning it up (with a NSW-style clash version).

Maybe so, but you could say that about nearly every traditional AFL guernsey. Everyone loves the Sydney/South Melbourne sash; no-one really cares that it's the same design as Richmond/Essendon, with different colours (or, in Essendon's case, a different colour).

Watching some video of last night's games, it's amazing how offputting I found having Richmond wearing white numbers. My brain just doesn't expect it.

Gibbsy · Feb 18, 2012

Would anyone agree with me that on a fair few of the Collingwood jumpers tonight the numbers looked less wider than last years? Specifically double numbers like 22, 33, it was noticeable imo. Just slightly but enough to pick up on.

Agree yeah

MC Extra Dollop · Feb 19, 2012

To me, it looked like Luke Power had a pressed-on number tonight. Anyone notice any other GWS players with the same?

I was confident that every single GWS player was wearing a heat-pressed number.

Andonis1997 · Feb 19, 2012

I noticed only Luke Power didn't have "Canberra" on top of his number 6 last night (technically speaking, it's the morning.)

henness · Feb 19, 2012

Pretty sure not mentioned yet

North Melbourne will wear a jumper full of names (exact design unknoan at the moment) of the people who donated a certain amount in their debt reduction campaign, against Fremantle in round 22 at Etihad Stadium.

Willo #6 · Feb 19, 2012

Oh god. Another sugar daddy jumper.

Andonis1997 · Feb 19, 2012

It would be awesome if they have the stripe made up of names.
E.g. Plain blue guernsey w/ names in the shape of white stripes.

Vertical stripe version of the Geelong premierships guernsey from a few years back?

DelishDockers · Feb 19, 2012

What does anyone make of this?

Surely this can't be legit - it's hideous. :thumbsd:

If it's all their supporters who gave money to the debt reduction, it's probably only one stripe, and it's probably the reason the stripe was reduced this year for the Blades logo.

That's ISC's official image for GWS' second jumper - it's not known why. The real version is white and has been seen in public on several occasions. But Goodscore can only work with what they get given...

(and given that the same product is available on their website for the same price, I don't see any problem with posting it here)

EBUS · Feb 19, 2012

The Hyundai logo on the back of Carlton jumpers will have a blue box around it in 2012.

E92_ · Feb 19, 2012

Has Essendon ever worn these socks before? If you're not watching they are wearing red/black hooped socks.

Also, the Eagles away jumper has white outlines on the numbers by the looks of it.

E92_ · Feb 19, 2012

The WCE full blue kit is one of the best in the AFL.

Certainly is.

And the numbers look bolder IMO.
