General Bombers Talk Retro Guernseys

[GUMBLETRON]

Noticed these on the website today:

A few options, short-sleeve acrylic, long-sleeve acrylic and short-sleeve woolen. Anyone own one and care to comment on the fit or quality?

 

[DapperJong]

cool!

 

[Doss]

I didn't know about this but I am quite tempted to get one.

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

Yeah, for $160. Get farked

 

[Doss]

Yeah, for $160. Get farked

On the other hand, for $160, no.

I picked one up last year when they were released at the start of the season, they have been around for a while now. I've got a long sleeve acrylic, fits well, I've lost a bit of weight since I bought it so its not as tight as it was.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Looks grouse, but $160 is daylight robbery.

 

[Despair]

Then purchase it at night?






Okay i'll see myself out...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Needs proper sponsors, looks like a cheap Dimmeys ripoff

 

[LB#16]

Yeah, for $160. Get farked

And $40 more for the sleeveless one they have Hirdy modelling. Damn he's a powerful man.

 

[Bennett.]

Need a Roger style lace up

How does one WITHOUT sleeves cost MORE?

There is no world in which that makes sense.

Pure wool.

 

[Pweter]

Needs a sewn on Nubrik badge

 

[Jesse Custer]

I've still got my mid nineties jumper. Looks better than that anyway. And yes it still fits

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Where are the 'Nubrik' and 'Don is Good' sponsor logos.

 

[katana]

long sleeve wool?

 

[TD_B52]

long sleeve wool?

Its Acrylic.. still warm though. I find I break a sweat in it most of the time...

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Imagine back in the day running around in those woolen jumpers while being sweaty you'll be red and itchy after the game.

 

[Doss]

They were real men back then, wearing onions on their belt.

Skin irritation? Pffft.

I come in peace
If anyone is going to buy one of the retro guernseys just bear in mind that the sizes are pretty big. I had to get mine 2 sizes smaller than what I wear in the normal guernseys.

I'm assuming they keep you pretty warm?

Is that because of the stretchy nature of the acrylic material, or more just the way they're made?

Much warmer than the normal guernseys. I made the mistake of wearing mine to the NAB game in Bendigo and I was fricking sweltering, it was about 32 degrees that day . They're definitely preferable in cold weather though.

I think it's just the way they're made. The material is also a lot better for women because it fits over the hips properly because of the stretchy material.

 

[Rack Watts]

I still have mine from when I was a kid!
The "speed kills" one. Which looked weird on Michael Long, as he was nothing but speed.
