They mentioned in the comments that guernsey's will be available later today IIRC
Oh boy I can’t wait to finally be able to purchase my beloved all-stars guernsey
do you think they'd arrive before the match if you ordered them asap?

Yeah conversely Carlton's jumper is over-stimulating

The All Stars one looks fresh. Definitely getting my hands on a Big V.
The All Stars guernsey looks great. Essentially the same design as the "Big V" but inverted colours and flipped.

From a purely design perspective, the A is quite clever. The jumper is definitely better looking than 2008, and its all for an excellent cause, BUT...
The utter contempt that the AFL shows the “other” states is disgraceful. Its literally an upside down V. Either everyone should get to represent their state, or nobody does. I get that Victoria has the biggest talent pool to draw from, but that doesn’t make them any more important, nor should it diminish the importance of other states and their players desire to represent them. Victorian players get to feel the pride of wearing the big V jumper while all the others will never get that chance.
Just make both teams all stars. Split the teams east/west, do a schoolyard pick, whatever. If they must do SoO, then make it Vic v WA. They’d be the two strongest teams currently and everyone involved is actually playing for something meaningful.

Excited to spend $100 on a guernsey that will probably sit in the wardrobe, never to be seen again. Can't wait.

How does the blue compare between Carlton’s jumper and Victoria’s ?

TBH I'm surprised one of the AFL's sponsors haven't pitched in some money to get their logo on the jumpers. They'd get massive quantities of good will from the public, and they'd be able to do it so it was tax deductible.

Its why State of Origin works for NRL and not AFL.
Outside of Qld and NSW no one else even comes close to deserving there state in the NRL origin matches.
With AFL, there are times when Victoria isn't even in the top two teams on paper.
WA, SA, sometimes even Tasmania.
NSW in the nineties with Carey, Kelly, Longmire, Danihers and Co.
If someone could get together a concept that works it would take off, but I am yet to see a concept that works.

I'm thinking the club logo for each player might end up where the sponsor is usually.
I can't remember where I read it (it was probably here tbf), but I liked the idea someone put that Victoria has their usual jumper, and the other team has their respective state jumpers, but they all have the same white/gold colour scheme.

I think it's rather amusing that the non-Victorian team is an upside down V. Victoria v Not Victoria couldn't be summed up any better.
This has always been my stance. Every year when NRL SOO rolls around, like clockwork the talkback is discussing a return for the AFL. But it just can’t work like it does in the NRL because we are actually a national game.
How about the All-Stars all wear their respective jumpers in colour, and Victoria wears a white jumper with a navy V?
