Just received an email from essendon, so thought may as well start a thread. Same kit as has been the case for a couple of years now.

Feel free to merge into another thread if required.

Considering West Coast couldn’t even get their actual kit made I’m not expecting much in this space from us

we've never had an anzac jumper anyway

Not a fan of an ANZAC guernsey, would much prefer the AFL, or major sponsor, or manufacturer give up their space for a simple poppie.

Preferably AFL.

And to not be sold retail, with it gifted to the players, or donated, or auctioned off for charity.

But that's me.

Agreed, can't help but feel it cheapens the guernsey when sold en-mass as retail to the public.

ANZAC jumpers are bad vibes unless strictly player issue, with proceeds going to veteran-related charities etc.

I wouldn't be so annoyed about the commercialised aspect of ANZAC Day Guernseys if they weren't all so lazy. Like seriously the Collingwood ones in recent years are just some of the worst jumpers we've ever put out.

Southport did a "heroes on the homefront" jersey a few years ago that they auctioned off for the charity, which i thought was a neat idea

The 2019 one looked great. The black based ones however look tacky.

The Fujitsu logo is the worst part of this design. It just feels disrespectful interrupting the poppies so abruptly.

I'm all for unique event-based guernseys, but they need to be done right.

sash too thicc

sash too thicc

I think they've used it for too long. Although I did like the original idea behind it, it's been messed around by the manufacturers.

 

[Rioli8217]

For the dons:

- Fujitsu cut-out way too big
- AFL logo too low

I like the poppies, I think it's a very good idea (always has been) but would like to see some other additions.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

This is quick and dirty, but much like indigenous round jerseys, i'd be happy with something like this

 

[justlookingaround]

Personally 2019’s thin sash + red cuffs is my favourite.

Did you paint heppells nails too?

Hah i didn't that was in the original (see further up)

 

[Cory]

I’d love if they just kept the usual design but with the badge, these jumpers get a bit over the top

 

[VelvetSledge]

Personally 2019’s thin sash + red cuffs is my favourite.

100% that was the best one.



Potato image quality, but you get it

Collingwood are selling replicas of their 1995 Anzac jumper -
“ Secure your piece of history with this Commemorative Guernsey, made right here in Melbourne and support the RSL's ANZAC Appeal with a portion of profits being donated. “

likewise with Essendon:

Looks quite nice, the ANZAC logo does seem too big

 

[Nickimus Rex]

This is general gripe, but Zurich needs to bugger off with the massive box ruining the demons yoke, it breaks it up wayyy to much (more obvious on away kits)
