All they have to do is make a red or yellow based top and slap hoops on it. Shit, even a white based top with hoops on it will work. Why not imitate the SNAFL Crows jumper sans chevron, bending them straight into hoops. Keep it simple.

I'm surprised Roo wasn't lurking around a school in a raincoat trying to find our Lucy to design their new clash. "Hey little girl. Want some candy?" View attachment 91121
A 7 year old girl does a better job at designing a guernsey than paid professionals.

Won't be long before they have their own "design a guernsey" competition.

White guernsey with 3 hoops in the middle of the club colours, it's not really that hard is it, wouldn't have to pay anyone to come up with that and it is about as good as it will get with their colours and white being the predominant colour. Probably wouldn't have to change it every year too, or is changing it every couple years the whole point?

I actually feel a bit for the Adult Crow fans, because we've been there too back in the 00's when we would change our clash guernsey every couple years to some awful design created to attract the younger generation but it didn't work for us and won't work for them. Look i was young and stupid enough to buy our 2004-2006 lightning bolt clash and i must say i thought it was cool back then but now i look at it and laugh at how bad it is, i still wear it but in an ironic manner now. Our clash strips only got worse from there. The 2007 version was putrid and the 2009 was just downright embarassing. Finally we settled on something traditional that is simple and looks great and i bet our merchandise sales are a lot stronger now in the clash/away strip department than they were in the years of 2004-2009. And most of all we now look the part on the field both at home and away.

That guernsey is perfect. Represents the Sadelaide Crows and everything that is wrong with their ethos.

"Play like a Crow!" Yep, because when I'm thinking of things to associate with footy, a ******* scavenger bird associated with bad omens is what I want to be known as.

If I had photoshop skills this is where I'd photoshop a red, blue & gold watermark of Graham Goodings' face onto a white guernsey.
Don't you just love it when the Crows lose and we win...and he has to do the news on the weekend? I love seeing him crawling up into a little ball in his mind and dying inside...

Jesus that jumper looks terrible. The concept, as much as it is a bogan tattoo rip off, isn't even executed properly. If something had "clawed" at them there should be a consistent pattern exposed underneath. Having different colours in each individual claw mark makes it look like something was painted on top.

Just woeful.
