Agreed.
I like aboriginal round and everything but I really don't think we need to change our jumper for the match.

Especially with the 7:10pm start. Friday games are a bit easier starting at 7:50pm, but 7:10pm will be pushing it. I guess they don't want too late a game on a school night.

How do you think it compares to the Hawthorn one?
Thats actually better than the normal crap they wear
Better than ours to be honest but again why bother

The GWS one looks like someone just pasted some indigenous art on top of the current jumper.

Agree with swansrule100 that actually does look better than their standard jumper.
GWS's looks horrible though...
Wonder if having jumpers for Aboriginal round is compulsory? And if Collingwood would actually change their jumper?
Personally I think clubs jumpers shouldn't change unless its to support a clubs heritage i.e Us wear the South Melbourne Jumper in Victoria and Brisbane wearing the Fitzroy jumper in Victoria).

You sound surprised, it's Hawthorn
Personally I don't think we need to change the jumper, but I suppose it helps the merchandise sales. The NRL clubs do it sometimes up here and not just for indigenous round.

It's the light blue just doesn't fit well
I think you're right, the colours clash for mine, it's a shame because I like the story behind it.

This. Its Sky Blue. We aren't the Red, White and Sky Blue.
Understand the point of the jumpers and have no issue with an Indigenous Round jumper, but keep it Red and White.
Adding colours to our jumper is a slippery slope to another debate that I NEVER want to have.
Just because you say it's a slippery slope, doesn't mean it is. Would Adam Goodes' mum or those behind Indigenous Round (the AFL) really ever be advocating for our colours to change? I can't think of any other stakeholders in this issue that would.
Sorry to be direct, I just hate the overly liberal use of the "slippery slope" device on the part of so many people.

I doubt it was given too much thought to be honest. No I don't think Goodes mum or the AFL in designing this jumper had change of colours in mind and I doubt it leads down that path.
Nah, I agree and you shouldn't be. Just because it has meaning doesn't make it immune to criticism based purely on aesthetics

Worst I have ever seen on a Swans player
On a more positive thought I felt the South one we wore a few rounds ago was awesome
Looks like a dog's breakfast, that said themed jumpers are massive money spinners for AFL particularly in their first year. most clubs (particularly those with ISC and adidas) have "trial run" options meaning they can get a "one off" batch of jumpers made and shipped at cost, followed by half cost until the end of season, where in they have to make a commitment to continue orders or not.
Ships

Sometimes the kit makes more sense out on the paddock than in the studio. Might even look alright.

Pykes hammy was on track til the club released that jumper is my guess and he suddenly felt a twinge
