Discussion The West Coast Eagles Guernsey Thread

This is a picture of it off wa4ever.com Most certainly a prototype

2012 New eagle jumpers:

 

[jethro11]

That is one weird looking eagle on the away jumper.

 

[E92_]

I don't know, I kinda like it.


Interesting that the white clash isn't on the website for the 2012 gear.

 

[Cory]

Don't like the eagle on the away jumper

 

[PAFC_04]

Yeah, its on the WCE store, as the away guernsey. Not sure if I like it or not, its simpler but the navy head looks a bit out of place.

Home:

Away:

Something seems different about the home too but I'm not quite sure what. Interesting to see that there is no clash on the store yet either

 

[E92_]

The AFL logo looks a lot smaller on the home.

 

[jethro11]

It sorta looks like there's something cutting into it's head.

The eagle is much better on the home IMO.

I think the AFL logo might just look smaller on the home because of the angle the picture has been taken at. Not 100% sure though.

New eagle looks terrible. The navy is a part of the eagle, why would they take away half of the head? It's almost like they've thought about how it's positioned on the home jumper and ripped it off to the away jumper. The home jumper works because the navy head blends in with the navy panel. As there is no navy panel on the away jumper, it looks a lot more disjointed.

Agree 100% with this. I guess the club are going for continuity here and are trying to make the one eagles head more identifiable but it just doesn't work with the away jumper unfortunately. Although I do like how they got rid of the white line separating the blue and gold on the away. The home guernsey looks slightly out of proportion.

 

[E92_]

Looks like they wanted it the same size as the home so they removed the white outline and royal filling. I think I like it, will get the jumper.

 

[PortBrillance]

They've butchered the away jumper, used to be one of the best in the league, but they've ****ed it up

 

[Mullygrub]

Tbh it looks crap they had to go and stuff up our best guernsey the one everyone wanted no change too. Poor decision by the club

 

[FXD_]

Interesting. The lack of white outline on the wings looks good, lack of it on the head looks bad.

That home one, it's a picture of a kids size. Wait until a pic of the adult comes out, it looks like they may have resized the head on the home to be the same as the away, which is a good move.

EDIT: Oh yeah, plus they've made the head bigger on the away.

Still don't know why they can't fix the SGIO logo on the back so it doesn't cover up the wing tips!!

 

[Mullygrub]

Yes I do like how their is no outline on the wings but I still think they ruined the guernsey by stuffing up the eagles head and yes that is a good point FXD they should fix up the sgio logo on the back if they could do it in 03 why can't they do it now?

 

[E92_]

They don't even need the extre white on the back SGIO logo, I want to see the wing tips.

Fair sized scan of the ad in today's West:

 

[PAFC_04]

I think I actually like it

 

[E92_]

You're not the only one.

 

[cammania]

As someone said. No clash jumper on site??? Interesting.

 

[jethro11]

Surely it means the peril is returning. Surely.

 

[PAFC_04]

Surely it means the peril is returning. Surely.

We can only hope... someone wanna mock it up in the 'new style'? I don't have a simplified eagle to be able to do so

Hi res and unphotshopped image (2.37mb): http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/854/bankwest2012eagleshires.jpg

West Coast website says:

The new away guernsey features a slightly new look with the white key lines removed and the logo design more prominent in line with the club’s popular home and clash guernseys.

I think the clash is staying.

 

[MrBrightside94]

Very rough draft of how i'd like to see the wings done.

Rather than the one singular curve, I made the line start somewhat straight then curved it in more.

 

[Natho]

its ok.. didnt need change but
