Puma just gets it right time and time again

Well, now they do.
Some of the most heinous designs forced on the Australian football public are the result of Puma trying something new.
The Hawthorn Diamond Disaster- Puma.
Collingwood Barcode Magpie - Puma.
The West Coast Ochre Dogs Breakfast Puma.
Hawthorn's non-proportioned Hawk - Puma.

 

[Mr Eagle]

How good do the black numbers look?!

Also, no outline around them.

Someone needs to tell (/gets microscope out) Spirit of Tasmania's marketing people about the concept of readability at a distance.

I was never really a fan of the black numbers myself but I assume it was something a majority of supporters have wanted to return to for a while now so im glad for that reason

 

[Heardy_101]

We were this close to greatness, we were this close!

Sigh.

 

[The Victorian]

Looks a bit high

 

[pattymalone00]

What’s up with norths number placement though…?!?

Might become a Saints fan. It's about time an AFL club embrace the heavier side of music.

 

[SkeletorsJawbone]

It's the opposite, AFL PI is just elsatinated polyester with a GPS sleeve printed on the back.
PI soccer kits have laser cut ventilation, heat bonded seams, rubber heat applied crests, undersleeve mesh etc etc.

Haha you know laser cutting is all to do with what machine the manufacturer uses right? And everything else you named is just unnecessary embellishments for aesthetics that does not lend anything to performance?

You could do all those things with a football jumper but it would increase the weight of the jumper which the players would kick up a fuss about and tackling would see every tackle end in a ripped jumper.

A soccer match shirt is not a lot different from what some AFL teams wear as a warm up shirt pre game.

 

[SkeletorsJawbone]

The closest thing we have to a soccer kit is the nike guernseys and I'm surprised they don't rip. I'm sure a soccer shirt will rip every single match in the AFL

Which Nike aren’t actually making.

 

[Hamez]

Spacing seems to be bigger between stripes and hoops on sleeves.

 

[DylanK]

Hawks long sleeve doesn’t look right..

You forgot the murder of crows away jumper too. Looked like clown vomit.

You're quite right, it wasn't an exhaustive list.
There's more

HOLD UP. You forgot the Piss-Lion! Also Puma
(I know it's incredibly memorable)

 

[Andy_B]

looks like PI Port Kit doesnt have the teal stiching, 2022 kit had the old MG logo

 

[The Victorian]

i wonder if it will be on brekkie tv like sunrise or today given the timing

Oh yeah I totally see the intricacy of the ventilation in this shirt

On AFL guernseys.

Yep.

Its summer right? Go for a run, in an AFL top in 30 degree weather and take a photo of you not sweating absolute bullets while wearing it.

Well for a start, if I ran anywhere these days I’d tear a hamstring before I even started sweating

Applying the logos like that means when the players start sweating, the logos start sticking to the body. It’s been trialled and players hate it.

Also texturing they fabric like that takes away a lot of the performance aspects the players demand. It leads to poor fit and the overall sublimation to look cheap. As seen in the cheap low level suppliers North Melbourne has had over the years.

looks like PI Port Kit doesnt have the teal stiching, 2022 kit had the old MG logo

Also doesn't have the extra stitching/piping on the outside of the collar like last year

See, you're assuming a retail AFL guernsey is the same as a Player Issued guernsey.

Which it is not.

Blue cuffs as well - last year they were white

new template allows it. old template pretty much didn't have cuffs

 

[uranium_death]

White cuffs on North's jumper looked awful
Good to see the blue return
North's jumper looks good for this season

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

The white collar on the 2021-22 template would have looked pretty great and a good throwback.

Instead we get this toilet seat setup that looks a little like the BLK kits which were never worn.

Haha, toilet seat setup, I can't unsee that now

Shocking design, way to ruin a jumper. Bloody asics.
