News Puma - North's new apparel partner

wins change everything.

IMO it is why the bounding roo is so highly praised.

It is peak 90s and peak 90s we were kings.

You are right, but no amount of wins are going to make that giant kangaroo head anything other than tacky looking.

We win in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide & Perth + 3 games in Melb.wearing the new away strip.

Does perspective change ?

I'd just wish we were wearing the home jumper personally

I just think it's a bit disingenuous for the club to run a 'return to tradition' campaign in association with the jumper, wheeling out our 90s legends, and then sending the boys out in that comical kit just so the already small NM jumper sales markets looks slightly better on the book.

They nailed the home jumper but they could've gone with the V for the clash if they wanted to hammer home the tradition point.

There's nothing stopping them printing those comical clash guernseys and selling them anyway without forcing grown ass men to put them on.

I'm with you on the V jumper from 1925 (and 2003 heritage) and there should be absolutely no doubt at all that we wear it in 2025 as the centenary jumper. If we stuff that up again like 2019, where there was no traditional jumper at all, then there will be consequences.

I like the away top but I probably wouldn’t wear it, I could see it being very popular among the youngsters.

hopefully the polo tops are nice because that’s what I usually wear. Hopefully it looks better than the boring Richmond ones.

What do y'all think was the best ever polo design? For me it was 2006 Reebok - white with blue sleeves znd collar. Only problem with it was the logos were vinyl not embroidered so they eventually peeled off.

You are looking at this from a pre wins point of view.

IF we racked up wins and highlight reels from games where we wore it, people would begin to like it.

I still wear the 150 year one regularly. Gasometer has a mainly-white one that looks really good, it may be the one you're talking about.

I doubt it, we went ok in the weird grey arch jumper from 2003-04 but it's still hideous.

this was worn in 2016 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 1996.

and this was the indigenous strip in 2017.

So yeah, it's been worn for promotions and one-offs a few times over the last few years, 2019 was the only year where it was regularly the away jumper. I'm fine with that personally, I think maybe it should be a special occasions jumper (maybe the official Friday Night jumper?)

Putting the indigenous strip to the side, the 2016 commemorated the 96 flag whilst I am pretty sure the 2019 away strip had something to do with our 150 year anniversary so it may be that the bounding roo is only going to be done in a commemorative capacity.

Enjoy the home kit, looks nice. Dislike the away kit though, man that's ugly as hell. Give me the bounding roo (I've got the centenary premiership tribute one at home) or the big V any day over that

Things that would've been better clash jumpers, part 1: the 1925 home kit

 

[Liam Boy]

part 2: you knew it was coming, the bounding roo

 

[Liam Boy]

part 3: the inverse kit. nothing wrong with this, it just shouldn't be the home jumper

 

[Val Keating]

If any of you blokes buy that sh*t for your kid and let them wear it then shame on you.

I still see the odd person at games wearing the Argentina strip at games.

There was a bloke on the main board who did an inverted bounding roo. Looked decent.

Still got it. NZI were the sponsor still

Surely it can't be that hard to get North's jumpers right?View attachment 1278218

The middle one is surprisingly aesthetic.

 

[Liam Boy]

part 4: whatever this was. yes, really. still better than the new away jumper

 

[Gasometer]

Like the clip that goes with this launch

Who’s the guy with platinum hairdo?

It’s not a clash jumper. Clash jumper needs to be predominately white.

 

[Liam Boy]

no, a clash jumper needs to solve a clash. we only really have one clash that white shorts don't solve, and that's Geelong. they often wear white shorts in home games so their opponent can wear a dark kit, and we've been wearing dark kits against them for years in home and away games (see both our games against them last year).

 

[Clarence2norton]

Surely this all shipping delay stuff.

More a covid related manufacturing issue, I’m not sure on the exact specifics

I like this one as an alternative strip.

I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Alternative or not, I liked it too.
