the club have been talking up an authentic guernsey which will be different to the replica guernsey which is sold in stores. This must be it. where did you find this photo?
The Melbourne website. The monogram is on the website, it is mentioned in the description below which I didn't see.

Sponsor logos swapped, True Value Solar replacing 13Solar and logo above numbers (I'm not sure why they thought that was necessary, maybe to go with the heritage logo on the clash jumper).

On the same page is a photo of Pears wearing it but the Adidas logo goes over the sash unlike the photos above.

I'm not sure which one is the real one. One of them may be a prototype or a player issue or maybe a photoshop job. It may even differ based on sizes of the jumper.

The same thing is on the long sleeve page.

Do you think it will be just a signature change or a full jumper change next year?
I'm predicting that when the next player is commemorated, there'll be a change.
So one more year of Coleman, 2 years of another player, and then whole guernsey swap.

Actually pretty neutral

To what though? They'd be struggling IMO to come up with another semi-acceptable guernsey. This one isn't an overwhelming favourite but anything else I think would be less of a favourite than the current one.

I doubt it... I think the biggest change we'll see is the removal of premiership player names, and I'm still not totally ruling that out for next year.

I heard a rumor that not all gc jumpers will have gps pockets. Some will wear the gps bra
What would the reasoning for that be? I have used GPS' in my P.I jumpers and would much rather have them in there rather than something strapped too me. Surely its less invasive?

I thought by now all players would be in a bra or all players would have a GPS in the jumper, didn't think teams would have some in one and some in the other.
They still have the bra's becuase they use them when they are wearing singlets or no shirts in pre season/season training and dont have the jumpers. Would have though Pockets would be part of regular PI jumper by now they have been around for long enough.

Just give all the players on the list an implant they can turn off when they're not using it

I'd say just a signature change. @hitthepost was spot on in that we barely accepted this version as it is so they'd be very cautious in changing it in a major way. If anything it would be very minor adjustments like it was from last year's version to this one.

After the next two years (i.e. after end of 2014 season), I think there's a chance of a guernsey re-design so I would be surprised if changed it sooner than that.http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/members/hitthepost.106615/

You'd be surprised. I don't feel my gps gear under my triathlon gear.. Would much prefer it close to my chest than something on my back..
