News New Jumpers for 2015

[Javelin]

Are you talking about the guernseys or the polos?

I thought that would have been obvious (no collar on the guernsey).

 

[Hank93]

Suns are with BLK too!



That makes it 7 BLK teams by my count.

Adelaide, Brisbane, GWS, St Kilda, Bulldogs, Richmond, Gold Coast

 

[Groupie_]

thats shit then

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

I'd have preferred GWS and St Kilda stay with ISC, but other than that, I'm happy with this.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I'm hoping this means that a mistake was made down the line and St Kilda aren't actually going with BLK

Maybe you'll get your white cuffs and collar BLK

 

[akkaps]

Gold coast going to BLK are going to really stiff up their side panels.

 

[Murraj1966]

Awww yiss

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Surely I'm not the only one who prefers the black on St. Kilda?

 

[HowYouDoin]

When did BLK Become suddenly obsessed with AFL?

 

[Greater Gattsby]

When did BLK Become suddenly obsessed with AFL?

Since Reebok left.

They must be cheap, otherwise why would teams switch from ISC or Puma to BLK? Although Puma have ruined their guernsey's with the current template.

Current Puma template is utter shithouse. I liked their old template with the old collar, don't understand why they had to fiddle with it.

They had the same template for six years. Probably felt a need to update it.

Could have just updated the collar. The side panels drive me nuts.

 

[Red Crow]

Also flight centre is a new sponsor.

Flight Centre is not a new sponsor. They have been a "corporate partner" for a while I think, certainly right through 2014. They are the official travel partner of the AFC, so it makes sense that their logo appears on fixture news because they will want people to use them to book away trips etc.

Just because a logo appears somewhere doesn't mean they are a major sponsor.

 

[Red Crow]

Surely I'm not the only one who prefers the black on St. Kilda?

Nope. I love the black look too!

 

[Red Crow]

Why did Adelaide only get puma for 2 years?

I feel like we always just want the best financial deal. We don't seem to care about brand continuity or building a relationship with an apparel supplier. We've never extended a contract I don't think.

Adidas 1997-2000
Fila 2001-02
Russell Athletic 2003-05
Adidas 2006-09
Reebok 2010-12
Puma 2013-14

Always just the single 2-4 year contract before moving on.

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

When all else is said and done the only people who truly care about this stuff are... Well, BigFooty.

I think most people like mixing it up because little design features get turned over regularly, and every couple of years you can get some brand new fan gear

Adidas 1997-2000
