News New Jumpers for 2016

Melbourne (White jumper being listed as "Away" so I assume red jumper was dumped?)

this is heartbreaking....

 

[Clint Bizkit]

Why does the quality suffer if they have more money?

Companies need to make a return on their investment, if they spend a whole heap of money securing the license they need to make the money back.

This sadly is usually done by reducing the cost of the product (most often the replica) to increase the margin on sales.

2016 WB Clash jumper. Oh dear.

Better photos of the clash jumper. Looks worse the more you look at it. The back isn't a rose as well.

And it seems like they've also butchered the socks.

Slanted hoops? *shivers*
Socks don't look too bad.

Not sure anyone has posted it yet. New Away jumper looks like this. New monogram, thats about it. looks better with blue shorts but the AFL does not allow dark shorts to be worn with this jumper. Absurd..Sydney have been getting away with red shorts for 30 years

I strongly suspect that could be a stuff-up by the people running the store website and they've used training jumper shots incorrectly. But I'll wait and see.

That Footscray clash jumper is one of the worst jumpers of all time to
be used in season

Yeah, pretty sure that's the training guernsey. Has been some confusion about it but I'm fairly certain that the version with a smaller dog and slightly less objectionable hoops is the clash.

 

[CollarJazzKnee]

They will wear it in the NAB, so at a minimum there will be the new collar.

I hope for one change, removal of one tramp stamp

Not necessarily. We play Collingwood, Essendon and freo in nab challenge. No need for clash strip.

They've changed the image on the Dogs shop as well. Interesting. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse...

Geelong rebranded themselves as 'Geelong Cats' prior to the 2008 season with a new logo etc, they wanted to distance themselves from the 'GFC' moniker as it was associated with the Global Financial Crisis at the time. Seems silly now but supposedly that was the reason.

I don't think that bit is true.

I don't think that bit is true.

I've heard it multiple times but you're probably more knowledgeable on the topic

It's definitely the popular myth (either that or there was a soccer club known as 'Geelong Football Club' which had the trademark), however I'm yet to find any evidence of either.

Considering the Global Financial Crisis only really kicked off in about August 2007 (and I'm not sure if that term was even in popular use for a while later) and the new logo was implemented immediately after the 2007 premiership in early October 2007, I very much doubt the two are related.

I think the photos are genuinely deceiving, when I took a photo of the Richmond jumper at rebel the yellow was much bolder in person than what appeared on my iPhone.

Yes they're not as good as other manufactures, but it's hardly the beige that the BLK websites seems to show.

wheres da pic mate

I can't say I recall the financial crisis being referred to solely as the 'GFC' until around the time of the $700bn bailout package imposed by Bush. We hear the acronym now to quickly refer to the happenings of 2007-2008.

The GFC acronym is inaccurate and misleading.

The GFC acronym is inaccurate and misleading.

Why, because it was a result of various execrable financial practices?

While that's true that's not why.

The GFC acronym is mostly used entirely within Australian lexicon and not out. It's not a globally accepted term.

It's not a global concept, it didnt affect the whole world, and it's not a global term.

Commonly referred to as the Great Recession in the northern hemisphere. Though I imagine they would know what you meant if you started talking about the GFC.

Great recession/credit crisis/global economic crisis.

It severely affected the financial state of those most exposed to the ramifications of mass-subprime mortgage lending. Those somewhat sheltered from the shockwaves weren't hit as hard as say, Iceland (who were their own worst enemies in actuality).

The subprime mortgages were only the catalyst. There were numerous underlying issues which, had they not been so neglected by political authorities, were the reason this got the 'runs' and trickled down.

That's some excellent Google skills you got there.
