Brisbane's colours look great. Might be the lighting but compared to one of the kid's 2000s guernsey in the crowd, it looked pretty similar.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Youi is much darker than Neds was on the back of the Lions. Much less disruptive to the design from a distance.

On the topic of socks, what’s going on with these?

 

[Mero]

Lifeline is the Giants shorts sponsor.

Well, at least, it was this week.
The game was for the Lifeline Cup, so it's possible it was just this week.

Saints should’ve worn their crusader with black shorts… mad ‘97 vibes.

Would’ve been a better contrast as the current version is more prominently red as well.

 

[SC26]

From 2002-2021 Collingwood had CFC printed onto their socks. Now it's the Nike logo.

Surprised it lasted that long. Club initials on socks was an Adidas thing.
They did that for Crows too but Crows didn't keep after Adidas unlike Pies.

Please delete if not allowed. Not aware of any embargo date. Should be on retail floors today despite no official release information.

Almost need a magnifying glass to read the Tasmanian logo

Never thought I'd see the day. Beautiful

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Don't understand the point of North having a clash guernsey if they are just gonna wear the home with white shorts.

 

[Heardy_101]

Because it's a clash jumper and not an away jumper?

I don't know either, probably for jumper sales $$$

 

[Smartys Power]

Did we know about the purple side panels for Freo? Is that new? Think it’s quite good in breaking up all that white.

Yeah it was announced a while back. It also has an indigenous design on the side panels if I recall

Quite literally took no time at all, wow

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

West Coast v Gold Coast the footys are branded with Telstra and not McDonald's

 

[FXD_]

Gold Coast’s double digit numbers are comically stretched/thin. I don’t like it.

In what universe do Hawthorn and North Melbourne's home jumpers clash?

Hungry Jack's may have objected to Maccas being on the ball for Eagles home games?

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

What's this new thing of a sponsor in-between the interchange?

Seems to be different each game too from what I can tell

What was on the Crows ball yesterday?

Crows still had maccas on the footy.

So Eagles are with Castore but their kit isn’t actually made by them?
And GC are with New Balance, but their kit isn’t actually made by them?…

 

[Supercheapgiants]

None, but like why did they need to make a clash if they aren't gonna ever wear it when they can.

Castore’s player issue guernseys are made by Sekem.

The Suns’ guernseys are made by New Balance but the Suns aren’t “with” them, hence Plungie is the neck sponsor, which is usually paid for by the offical apparel sponsor of each team.

Right that makes sense - is it the same with St Kilda?
