Discussion State of our jumper

[Dr Spaceman]

Hold your horses. You forgot about my propensity for all things negative. I kind of like it but there is something about it that looks a bit amateurish. As he said, good concept but a bit clunky in final execution. It's got year 12 graphic arts student vibes.

Well you’re a given

Anyway, it’s designed by Nicky for a round that celebrates his peoples’ history and culture so that’s good enough for me

Yeah, I love the concept, it almost looks like they had too many good ideas and should have used one out of the three. The birds, his silhouette, the rock art spatter etc all look like they'd have been good on their own but together gets a bit busy. The spatter looks a bit too computer generated, it looks like a filter effect rather than manually applying it and then transferring it to digital then the rest looks like they had to put bits somewhere but weren't sure where.

Yeah it looks like a Russian made it on MS Paint to sell on Wish.com, but, its significance outweighs the looks anyway ️️

I really love the meaning behind the hand prints on the back of the guernsey, it’ll never happen but would be cool to implement that into our home and away guernseys too.

This is spot on for me and frankly the image of Nicky gets lost a bit down the bottom end of the jumper, that piece of the imagery should have been front and centre to me.

As said, it’s a great concept but the jumper is messy.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

In the circumstances, I’d much prefer a jumper that most of us loved but a few thought was ‘messy’, ‘amateurish’ or ‘childlike’.

Than a jumper that all of us liked but which Nicky Winmar didn’t think fully captured his vision.

When we get our own round we can design our own version.

Fair point.

it’s red white and black isn’t it? Hard to please some people. I think it looks absolutely fantastic.

I noticed this on the saints Facebook page - I did not know this was the reason, I just thought it was a commercial reason to maximise sponsorship revenue. Maybe it's both I guess.

How do you reckon it'd look above the sponsor logo anyway, or is that too high?

Isn't it where the heart is?

It's tricky, you could centre it but it wouldn't be over the heart which I assume is the point.

It'd look too high.

Where it is below now is probably closer to the heart than if it was above the sponsor.

Collingwood have their crest above the sponsor. Personally I think this is a better format than ours being below the sponsor - Collingwood jokes aside.

In 2005 we had the logo above the sponsor, but the sponsor wasn't strictly aligned with the AFL logo.

Boy I hope that post means we could we wearing the candy stripe next year.

Day 1 purchase if we make the change

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Everyone loves the thin candy stripe. Should be our permanent alt jumper.
The red and black 140 year hoops was a beauty as well.

 

[Marlo]

Our jumper from 8 years ago looks a million times more slick and professional than our current piss take

Think we look and feel a bit tougher in extra black too

That is a damn nice strip in hindsight

 

[Marlo]

Look at that boisterous white panel, nice and loud not that awkward thin shite

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Yep should be as thick, if not thicker than the other panels. Current jumper is bloody horrendous

 

[George]

Thick white panels we reckon

I hated this jumper FWIW.

 

[George]

^ Interestingly the logo is in line with the AFL.

Yep, definitely thicker rather than the thin Balinese market quality sacks we’re running atm.
That’s not my fave jumper either, but miles better than current setup.
