News New Jumpers for 2026

This is probably a good place to ask this.

Adelaide were a leader in creating a Gather Round (GR) jumper and the assumption is we will again.

Previous GR jumpers have been navy. If Carlton want to wear navy, how is this decided?

I don't necessarily think our GR jumper has to be navy.
Personally, who cares if Carlton wants to wear navy. Crows have the home game, and the OPENING game.

We should go with whatever the Crows want to do, and if that's navy, we wear white. If Crows go any other colour of theirs, my belief is we wiill still wear navy with white shorts.

We haven't designed a Gather Round guernsey since it started, which probably explains how much we care (performances included...)

I think there were 7 teams with GR jumpers last year and I just assume it will increase this year. Carlton should have the right to if they want. Just curious how it is decided, I'm sure it's already decided.

The first year it was a toss of the coin I believe, but its more about choice of uniforms rather than anything else, and the issue hasn't come up yet where a team with a gather round top has had a potential clash (I do suspect though as the unifroms are planned so far in advance the gather round draw is built around that).

2023
Fremantle
Geelong
(Adelaide was used again against Brisbane)

2024
Fremantle
(Adelaide was used again for Brisbane Game)
(West Coast was used again for Gold Coast)

2025
Adelaide
Sydney
West Coast
Melbourne
St Kilda
(Gold Coast Technically but the jumper was used for further 3 times afterwards)

Not as many teams as I thought with only 5 teams this year having specifice gather round jumpers in 2025, only 2 in 2023 and 1 in 2024, if the jumper is used outside of gather round that year I don't count it.

Hawks also debuted the mongram jumper in GR but wore it a couple more times after

Sure, we may have the right if it's technically a neutral game - but unless it's drastically different to your navy base (such as a baby blue? 🤞) then I don't see us having much opportunity/care to do much with a white base.

We didn't have an ANZAC design last year either so I don't think it's something that we prioritised.
 
Was a little shocked and thought that GC suddenly had a new white and red kit, but it's just a training jumper. Looks a little bizarre, particular the white on Fox Footy's graphics.

So we're also still waiting for an official launch of GC's blue jumper.

Yeah, this with red shorts felt very odd. They probably could have got away with the pink jumper if they had it?
