Opinion Team Jumper

[demondavey]

The Tasmanian jumper is awful. Zero creativity at all.

 

[Gibbke]

The Tasmanian jumper is fantastic, and better than anything else in the known universe...watch the 1990 origin win again...my hand goes straight from my testicles to my heart every time I do...

The problem with the unveiled Devils effort in 2024 is that the map looks amateurish, and the jumper is the state jumper - it belongs on the state team and the Devils are not that, they're an AFL franchise...

If we get the team over the line, I don't think it'll run out in that version anyway. There will be a V of some sort in there...I'm hoping they stick the map on the side like St Kilda does with its crest. But dark green...there is nothing better...

I am rather fond of this design.
State Colours, modern design, represents Tassie.

How many Tassie jumpers can we get to the remaining games in TAS this year? Let’s sell out the remaining games. Workplaces can can buy reserved tickets or corporate packages to reward employees and entertain clients. Let’s show the AFL that Tasmanian people and businesses are serious about making a team work.

I wonder what the VFL programs will roll out with? Good opportunity to take a few risks i think. Be nice to see the men’s and women’s have different designs from each other, even for just away games. We all know who is playing. Doesnt have to be the same across every program

I fear they'll just have them in the map, but I agree it'd be a good opportunity to try a few different designs and see what's popular.

I think they have stated that the current MAP with the T is a foundation jumper only.

It's way too bare there will be an actual playing jumper that is very different with colours when they come into the competition.

I think they have stated that the current MAP with the T is a foundation jumper only.

Hopefully this means it's worn in the debut game and then the main guernsey from then on.

Have the map out for the first Mac Point home game.

WAIT!

3 games at a minimum.

First home game at Bellerive Oval.
First home game at York Park.
And the aforementioned Mac Point.

Whoever designs the winning guernsey should be given a free pass to all Tassie's home games for the rest of his/her life.

Is there an official jumper design competition?
Do you have a link?

There isn't.
No.

The Tasmanian FC Facebook page has a reel where you can provide feedback how you want the jumper to look like. The login link should take you there.

Sounds like they won't just be wearing the map then. Interesting.

 

[Tandy]

When they first announced the guernsey did they go with this is a foundation guernsey only or was it due to public backlash? It wasn’t hugely popular from memory.
With the return of state of origin I wonder if one day tassie would be represented. Being a footballing state, lumping them into the allies would be a shame. Seems like this new state of origin push is the real deal. Better to use the foundation jumper for SoO. TAS vs Allies in 2028

My memory of the team launch event was they phrased it as a foundation jumper and said 'we will wear many jumpers but this is the first' or similar. Might be off there but I reckon they wanted to have a jumper out there to get some momentum and sell some merch, whilst giving themselves time to come up with the final design. From memory GWS wore a blue guernsey in the u19s or whatever they launched in first

Thoughts on this as our home jumper?

I don't hate it but it needs some crimson somewhere.

Here's an alternative I've explored before that I don't mind.

I really like it. And the one below. It’s a modern twist on traditional. The majority green is the key.

Thanks Here's a more Rum'un inspired variant.

This one is the goods

I've played with these a bit more while avoiding doing any work

I wanted to make the design more unique to the Devils and make it more obvious that it's a devil stripe, so I've added a subtle fur texture.

I think personally I prefer the all green version for a couple of reasons:

• It looks more 'devilish'
• It's more faithful to the existing brand — the crimson is only used minimally by the club so far, so keeping it just on the socks matches that hierarchy of colours
• It avoids being too similar to the Dees' jumper.

You could nearly bet on this design being better than whatever the club will come up with. It’s usually the case. I wonder if the club would come up with a few options and let the public decide? They seem to communicate with the fan base pretty well so far.

The club should give us like four options. I don't know if a committee would have been brave enough to go with the "JackJumpers" brand, but put it to the vote and it was super popular in Tasmania, even though mainlanders were like 'wat'.
