Swans 2012 Guernseys

[Rassilon]

Seeing as the club has put the 2012 training singlets and 'premium' shorts up on the Swanshop, I'm hoping the 2012 guernseys won't be far behind.

Anyone have any idea of what we can expect with the clash?

I assume the home will stay the same, but I've heard rumours of us reverting to the South Melbourne V for the clash this year.

The red V will be sweet.

The red V should be in every Melbourne game

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

Apparently there's going to be a two blues guernsey for Sydney games to appeal to the NSW market and I'm all for it!

I would have already put an order in if I hadn't already bought a GWS membership

The red V doesnt represent Victoria.

I disagree as it wouldn't be a good image to convey to potential fans in Sydney that the Swans are a Melbourne based club as well as a Sydney based club.

How did i know you would disagree, it has nothing to do with a melbourne club. It is the heritage !!!

Wheres the Melbourne base? Pretty sure potential fans will be aware of our heritage, its something to be proud of not hide.

Would prefer the red V as our main jumper.

Need to buy a new guernsey, hopefully this year's is gooooooood.

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

I never did like the 2011 training guernsey

Not a fan either of the 2012 edition but it's an improvement.

The 2012 training top would look good without the logo and swan. Simple designs are often the best.

Thats typical ISC crap

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

That's not the 2012 training guernsey that's just a summer singlet for men...

 

[grimlock]

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

It says training singlet. Okay I stand corrected

 

[robbieando]

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

Seriously I think we should change our jumper to that of black red and white stripes

Nothing say success more

It represents Victoria more than the Sydney Opera house or Sydney Harbour Bridge.... I've always liked how they've tried to maintain the red V amongst the 'sydney' imagery. Don't like any birds on jumpers. The Hawks, Crows (a blue crow?? wtf!?), Eagles etc all look(ed) horrific.

As long as we maintain the red stripes for heratige round I'm a happy camper. BTW, anyone know if I can still get a hold of one of those red stripe heritage gurnseys somewhere?

No every state uses a V and always have, even in State games or the NRL for that matter..they used V's, back in the days jumpers from most sports had either a V, a sash, horizontal or vertical stripes or logo's like carltons of different color combinations there was none of this fancy artwork we have today..
The red V is a part of our clubs history. Nothing to do with V for Victoria.

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

I'd already said that champ

Re: Swans 2012 Guernseys.

I've always thought this would be the way to go for our top. Incorporates a lot elements of the original South jumper, but it's still very much the Sydney design. It's also a much better shade of red, almost claret, and looks very much like blood.

Though looking at it again for the first time a long time, the V could be a little bit more shallow. Still, you get the idea.

Gave it a re-touch.
