Our loose fitting guernseys

[dirtyratz]

Why so baggy? Makes it easier to tackle. Compare them to Sydney's on the weekend, and the rest of the teams for that matter. Ridiculous!








Clutching at straws much? Or a serious matter?

A thanks Eddie.

if we go nude no one would tackle us.

female membership would go through the roof too.

 

[squashface]

Same size guernseys as everyone else.
We are just have no muscle.

So would cases of testicular cyanosis

I've thought about this before. Some sides seem to all wear skin-tight guernseys as though it's a policy, Sydney for instance, ours end to be fairly baggy as you say.

It's an insignificant matter but occasionally it probably would be the difference between a tackle sticking and not.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Apparently we're not 'big-bodied' now... Wait until the guernseys are tighter.

I don't think Eddie Betts gets dacked any more than other players...

better blue balls than ochre balls

You gotta have the ball first to get tackled...

Combination of small pipes and puma not moving with the times

Personally I hate those skin tight jumpers as they look as though the players are wearing their younger brother's one.

Hit the gym boys. .

It depends on the guernsey manufacturer. ISC have switched to a tighter, stretchier polyester this year. Puma's fabric has remained the same for a few years now, I believe they last changed at the beginning of 2008, coinciding with the new collar. KooGa, Adidas, Nike, New Balance and Star Athletic also provide tighter jumpers than Puma do.

do teams average more tackles against us than other sides?

Personally I think Puma needs to redo the jumper, larger wings, removal of the white and tri panel for three winged jumpers, tighter jumpers. Alternatively I would be very pleased with a move to Adidas, Nike but my favourite would be to be the first team sponsored by Under Armour!

Actually, some manufacturers have a much tighter fit - the ISC range is viciously unforgiving, part of why Hawkins from Geelong looks like a fatty.

 

[Oneiros]

And whoa, did they actually ban lmach?

That's not what your girlfriend said.

I reckon they would have to smear themselves in their own shit to not get tackled and wouldn't that be ironic ?

 

[smashing]

I hate the way the Sydney jumpers look now. When they are so tight that the numbers and sponsors logos are visibly stretched I think it's gone too far.

 

[jaxxon]

Collingwood custom make each jumper for every player. Apparently they make the midfield and defenders jumpers skin tight, but make the forwards looser so that the umpire can see if their jumper is being held in a contest.

 

[The_Eagles]

I wish ours were tighter too now. I'm a bit sick of Puma it's not as professional looking as Nike or Adidas.. If you look at AFL guernseys from 2001 they are so shiny and reflective and so so loose. Funny how fashion/tech/human ingenuity improves when you always wonder how can it get any better. Even 2006 they are so baggy

 

[mehow2g]

Could be a reaction of Essendons drug saga.

Few players running around from a few teams fair bit smaller.

 

[Matera LeNui]

We should just get those swimsuits banned at the olympics and paint on our colours
