Unpopular opinion: I have no issue with and kinda like the Suns home jumper.

The only problem with it is the logo, which will inevitably be replaced at some point in the future and could cause issues with the jumper. But what I can't stand is people saying they don't like it because its "boring". By that standard, almost every Victorian club would have a "boring" jumper - particularly Carlton.

Its a jumper that the basic design can be retained for years and years to come and will still be a strong image. Hopefully they can come up with a better monogram for the middle and it could become timeless.

The wave jumper was tacky from day one. Sooooo glad they gave it the arse.
Agree in general.

They wanted to stick with the bright red and yellow as their colour base, which is awesome.

Going too full on with a design of bright red and yellow can lead to the likes of my famed 2013/14 Waikato Tigers NAFL "Circles" home kit.

I think the base of red with yellow side panels is fine. The logo needs some work, but I have no issues with the basic guernsey layout.

Conversation with Collingwood FC shop. Looks like there will be changes.

Klim: Hello will there be any changes to the jumpers for 2016?

CFC Shop: Hi, unfortunately, I haven't got a chance to see the new design as the range will be available by December.

Klim: Yeah thanks for that answer. Will you be selling long sleeve clash jumpers soon?

CFC Shop: They will be available soon by the end of this year.

CFC Shop: I hope you will like the new design.

ooh, new design! I really don't think it'll be anything but a template change but I can still get excited.

Would there ever be a scenario in the main season where they'd wear yellow & blue as the away team?
They could wear it home I guess, if they wanted to, sort of like we did against the Bombers in 2010. That was the first year we had our clash guernsey, and it might have actually been the first time we wore it. So we obviously did that to promote it. We haven't worn it at home since, except for that debacle against Richmond in 2014.

Did port wear their teal guernsey at all this year?? Apart from against us in the NAB cup?? Seems like theirs and the Crows one is the same sort of thing, make a clash guernsey to sell, but never actually need to wear it.

The teal was actually a preseason jumper. This is being billed as a 2nd clash jumper.

Ah ok, couldn't remember when the teal was launched whether it was for pre season or regular season. Is it being used again this year?? I liked it, any idea whether it's sold well? Do you see many port people wearing it?

They are using images of it on their website, so I assume they are keeping it.

I just can't see where or when Adelaide would wear the yellow top with blue shorts, despite how good that'll look
Seeing that mockup, it probably means we'll wear it in games v North, Geelong and Sydney - games that we'd normally just wear full home kit.

If thats the case, despite how good it looks, there really isn't much point to it.

All I can hope is that people will think its awesome and demand it becomes our primary clash jumper.

I'd buy it - and it would be the only Crows jumper I'd buy. Apart from their SANFL jumper, which may be a rarity soon if they're booted out.
