The Jumper Thread

[Xavi6]

Yep, sure, it’s the clothing brand’s fault you need to go larger.

I'll call it future proofing to make myself feel better.

 

[ioppolo]

If I recall, the first time this was ever worn we beat the reigning premiers away yeah?

That's something I guess.

Ochre is the club's version of New Coke. New Cochre if you will.

It's a no from me.

 

[MIKE85]

What is this yellow anniversary guernsey you speak of??

 

[Boohemian]

So do we just shut this thread down now?

We got wings and ochre. What else is there to discuss really?

The club has multiple variants throughout the year, each year.

This thread will still be relevant when the Indigenous Round comes around.

 

[TY24]

Way too much negative energy in this thread on such a glorious occasion

 

[Luxor]

Damn that looks good, might be the first time the club tempts me to buy some merch.

Really don't know why AFL clubs don't take more opportunity with Clash / Away kits to come up with some cool colours and designs. I'm a Man United fan but I love some of the blue / black / white away kits we've had over the years and bought most of them.

As long as you're wearing your 'club colours' at home what's the problem with changing it up for a Clash strip?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Stupid ugly ****ed up jumper.

Thank god it’s back, I’m so happy and will be buying one asap. The perfect retro round nightmare to get out once a generation. You beauty.

 

[ioppolo]

I dunno if it's the age thing, but the 2007 WA heritage round jumper will always give me more PTSD than this thing.

 

[lmach]

Glad I ordered immediately – looks like it's a pre-order now and it says "Expected release date is 27th Apr 2026". Unless they're all pre-orders and I just missed that...

Gonna be so depressing getting pumped while having to watch us in that abomination

Agree with this. So long as we always have the royal and gold, happy to experiment with alternate uniforms that come and go.

 

[MIKE85]

Yea comments from people online about keeping the current one are clearly not that clever. We’re not replacing the normal guernseys, it’s a one off, like all the other gather round guernseys have been. And it looks awesome too. Love it

 

[squashface]

Sold out now apparently

That was a one off. I didn't love it, but I do own it somewhere.

The ochre jumper was our official uniform. After over a decade and two flags, establishing the club as a powerhouse etc. admin decided that nah we don't need royal blue with wings, let's have some weird ochre to yellow to blue gradient with an eagle on that is supposed to look like the WA coastline. This also happened at the same time they binned the navy blue with gold wings for the tri-panel. Two changes that nobody asked for.

I grew up in the 90s and associate royal blue and gold with the 1992 Grand Final and other such fun memories. The ochre goes hand in hand with the Ken Judge era. There's no such thing as a distinguishable 2022-25 era jumper but if there was I wouldn't be bringing it back for retro feels in a decade or so.

Look on the bright side.

“The response to this guernsey has been next level.... The in stock items have now sold out, we have however gone into Pre-Order with guernseys arrving for delviery/ pick up from April 27th.”

On hand stock went fast.

 

[bzparkes]

Ochre is back?!

I dunno there was a hame at AP few years back that was mdma stadium level bad

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I can't ****ing believe this! I'm so ****ing pissed...

Out of all the jumpers, it's my favourite (frontside, the back was terrible). I hope they have changed the back of it to just plain colour with number only.

You’ll be disappointed then.

If we're bringing it back, I'm glad it's being done the right way...in all it's hideous glory

 

[UseR2006]

I can't believe they left the AFL watermarks on it.
Absolute hideous monstrosity... Absolutely love it and will be pre-ordering one.
