There's only so much you can do with those godawful colours but they appear to have gone to the blueprint we were working off in the era of funk squads, fist floats, and John James.
"Port Adelaide is cornering the youth market! What can we do?"
"I know, let's hire Ken Done to design our jumper. I hear the youth of today loves that shit!"

Incorrect, any Crows guernsey is the ideal attire when shovelling shit.
Someone gave my father a crows jumper years ago as a gag birthday gift, it still amuses me when i see this stained oily rag in his garage that if you look closely at you can see a "Camry" logo

i think this one is worse. The murder at least had the right colours

looks like something from jurassic park
Haha Jurassic Park was the first thing I thought of when I saw it too. Trying way too hard to be edgy and modern.

I was a little concerned after all the 'ruthless' talk that they were finally getting around to changing things but the yearly shit clash jumper has come out, clearly everything is proceeding as it should.

Viva la poovolution!

Somebody who doesn't have the slightest idea about football bought me a pair of Carlton footy socks for my birthday, and I'm pretty sure it was just a genuine mistake rather than a joke present. 'Schulzenfest likes AFL, right? I'll get him these socks with an AFL logo on the label, he'll love them!'

NUFC, YES.

Even the Brisbane Lions backed away from this awful paradigm by ditching the paddlepop lion and returning the classic lion.

Ultimately football clubs are in the business of winning football games amidst emblems and standards that instil pride and identifiable love in the supporter base.

If you're prepared to foist logos and guernseys upon your paying members that repeatedly result in a mass response of "WHAT THE **** IS THIS?!" purely in some unproven bid to win generations down the track, you should reevaluate which industry you're currently in.

But surprisingly still better than the 'murder of crows' design.
November 26, 2012
.... Ace midfielder Rory Sloane described the new clash jumper as "awesome" and promoting a team ethos.
"As players, we love it," Sloane said.
"Rather than one Crow, there's a murder of Crows, which really does bring that pack mentality out in us." ...
How has Sloane descibed the new clash?
