News Sydney Heritage Jumper 2021

I love it! How about the Nike logo in red?

I like the black logos, it's the closest we'll get to involving the black from South Melbourne's uniform.

Would look a million times better if the chevron wasn’t cut off for the QBE logo, incorporate it like the afl one has been!

at the very least, put a little red box around it. makes it look like a patch over the original design rather than the design having a piece cut out of it

In the retail version there are no red cuffs, just a white finish

 

[Mozzie_Squad]

From twitter - looks like the Nike basketball singlet has cut out the red cuffs on the retail versions (the same happened on the retail indigenous jumpers too)

 

[blackbelair]

I really dislike how Nike/Sydney are selling these without the cuffs - very disappointing

Yeah that looks s**t lol, what happened to the PI?

 

[Andonis1997]

Ahh Nike, welcome back to the AFL - still disappointing with your replicas

Nike's lack of cuffs on the replicas actually makes me wish the Crows had Nike so we wouldn't have the gold cuffs on our replicas.
Would be a nice throwback to this - no gold cuffs are nice!

I only noticed this when looking back at the jumpers from Heritage Round, but is there a reason Sydney seem to omit the red collar when doing the classic red vee design? Maybe Mero can help out here, but according to his website there isn't a case where Sydney/South Melb had a white colour with the red vee. It's a bit of an oddity.

Last season's heritage guernsey had the red collar

It's a hard one because looking at the original South Melb jumper, it does indeed have a white collar but it does have red 'flaps'. So it wouldn't be quite accurate if it had a full red collar, but just a full white collar leaves out the iconic red flaps.

Hopefully Nike can get around to adding on flaps if they do the Heritage thing again next year.

Sydney have just announced they're going to wear the Red V in all designated away games in Melbourne for the rest of 2021.

As a Melbourne based swans member I love it! It looks fantastic and I wouldn't be against them wearing it for all Melbourne matches every year, although I doubt that would happen.

Probably testing the waters to see if anyone supports the idea.

 

[blackbelair]

A great idea, such a huge support from all members including VIC

 

[Liam Boy]

They should ditch the opera house yoke and just wear the V all the time. they don't need to parade around in Sydney iconography to be associated with the city anymore, it's been 40 years. It would be akin to the Bulldogs finally returning to the two hoop design. Simple, visually pleasing and iconic.

I agree, but it would have to be the preferred option of the bulk of Sydney fans, and I'm not sure that would be the case.

I'd rather keep our regular Opra house guernsey for the Sydney games and red V for Vic games. And I'm not saying that from a Vic bias pov. I think both designs have a place and I'd hate to lose the Opra design all together.

 

[magpienato]

Why ditch the Opera House? At this point it's wayy too iconic to Sydney's brand to just throw away.

Would be cool to see if this kicks off a more regular use of Heritage jumpers like we see in NBA for example. We have seen a resurgence in them recently so the more the better I say.

 

[Heardy_101]

As a best of both worlds, return to the white back full time on the current home jumper (the first "Opera House" jumper had a white back). As well as the Red V for Melbourne games.

Still prefer the red back personally.

 

[Liam Boy]

I hate the red back but i hate it every time a jumper has drastically different colour balance from front to back, same with GWS and St. Kilda

I do like this one but it has traditionally been used as an away/clash guernsey. I doubt it would replace the traditional one.

 

[Liam Boy]

that's definitely an improvement but it's still not as good as the classic V. I just don't like the opera house as a design element

Paired with red shorts, it used to be Sydney's home jumper until they changed the back to red.
