Opinion The Anchor

[Sir Deadly]

With Freo bringing back the anchor for retro round how do you feel about it? Do you think it should come back permanently or remain as a one off?

I personally would love it if the anchor came back, at least for the away kit. It’s so unique and looks bloody amazing!

Nostalgia is a weird thing. No thanks.

 

[mightymouse75]

Yes. Love me some anchor

Na

Rather we rotate East, South’s colours. You want foundation?

I like the purple and green probably more than the actual anchor itself.

I'm sick of the white clash , it sounds like the players like the retro jumper and the fans loving it too.

 

[gaskin]

I like it as a one-off every season. I was initially against the chevrons but have come to like them. If they were to incorporate the anchor onto an away jumper while keeping the chevrons on the home one, I'd be more for that.

 

[Sweetback]

I’d like to see the chevrons on a green jumper.

I’d like to see the chevrons on a green jumper.

Green with purple chevrons? Or with white?

 

[Purple Jesus]

Love the anchor. Bring it back. The chevrons are meh. We’re not the Fremantle Sergeants.

The chevrons are one of my favourite guernseys in the competition. I would be upset to see them go. The anchor is good from a nostalgic perspective, but it isn't something that aged well out of the 90s. I also generally prefer more classic designs, like stripes, sashes, chevrons and monograms I guess.

I much prefer the old logo with the anchor though.

White chevs. Purple on green would be a nightmare for the colour blind.

I’d like to see the chevrons on a green jumper.

I'm sure Alex Pearce would be keen!

I love the anchor. Purple with the white anchor is awesome. Was never that keen on the technicolour jumpers.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Red was the problem all along. The Purple green and white anchors look sick.

 

[serial_thrilla]

When we had the anchor people would complain endlessly about it "weighing us down". There was universal praise when we switched to the chevrons.

A few years later, and look what happens...



Save them for retro rounds.

 

[holybishop]

Guess what…the anchor is back!

Fremantle are bringing back more than just the green anchor jumper for Retro Round, thanks to 92.9 Triple M.

Quick question for those who remember... what was the significance of wearing condoms on their heads?

If you know you're getting ****ed by the WAFC you want some protection.

 

[MadMundy]

No, the anchor is great for nostalgia purposes and for retro round but full time? No chance. Our guernseys with the chevrons make us look like a more serious club and more professional than we do with the anchors.

How good was Winnie

Feng shui bullshit. Anchor weighed us down? Replaced by chevrons pointing downwards. Please. Bring back the anchor.

 

[Falconista]

Would be happy to see a red or green [even both] chevron like the AFLW uniform but no need for the anchor to permanently return. As a nostalgia thing every year or two is the right balance imo.

replace with chevrons or anchor but pointing up, either is all right with me

 

[Steinfreo]

The chevrons are incredibly forgettable. Change back to anchor and move back to freo. Win flag, simple
