Considering it was the away strip and in the era of an inflexible white shorts away rule, it would have been rare.



But we did get it done against Sydney. Gorgeous. Please re-instate this as your avatar jonasshirtfront
Awesome pic of a champion, resplendent in glove, armband & all.
Our lame new curved piping shorts won't do this jumper (or any of our others) any justice.

We don't do curved lines.

Just read there will be block numbers on the guernsey. I hope we can get them for the replicas.
Man, I feel so dumb right now. All ready to go with the order and I can't for the life of me figure out how to order numbers for it. Anyone successfully managed this please? "11" in case you're wondering :D

We got new shorts with slightly curved lines down the sides.
I'm not fond.

Colours don't match either :rolleyes:

Ok, I get what you're saying now. I agree that last year's shorts were better, but I'd take this fairly inconspicuous curved pin-stripe over that horrible '97 style fat AFL logo piping any day.

I noticed that at the ground, I wonder if the poorly matched shirt to shorts was due to the fact we were wearing 2015 guernseys though?

Fingers crossed the 2016 kit matches up better.

The re-make of the 1997-2002 away strip definitely looks a lot better than the premiership reunion Guernsey of 2014, I think they've done this one to look fairly similar to how it was whereas the SBS Guernsey a couple years ago actually looked nothing like the premiership strip. To be frank, it was terrible. I reckon the Port Store will do pretty good out of this one though, not 2014 elimination final Guernsey levels but should still be a fair few get sold.

PS: what is with the weirdo's on facebook saying that this should replace the current home Guernsey? I like this strip and think it is pretty cool to see it re-visited but it seems the current BIB Guernsey is extremely underrated by our facebook followers. Some of the slagging of our current strip was quite disturbing.

There's your problem. The toilet of the Internet - where everyone and anyone can flush their shit opinions into cyberspace.

"All I see is a big white V, it looks like the Victorian Guernsey", "our current home strip is way too boring", "there's too much black on our current home, needs more teal, white and silver" quite literally a cesspit of comments.
