Wearing that cosby sweater

[Doggy Dan]

Marketing manager: "Alright team, these new AFL Christmas jumpers we're bringing out have been specifically designed to be ugly, embarrassing, overpriced and pretty much useless other than to give people a good chuckle. Any ideas who we should get to promote them?"

Gonna set the aircon to freezing point so I can wear my jumper while I sip my hot chocolate in front of the lit fireplace.

 

[King Elvis]

These will be a huge success.

Are they available yet; I'd love one for the game tomorrow...

With your feet up on a foot stool wearing slippers that look like Jester's shoes?

And your log cabin has aircon?

Yuppy.

Seriously, what the **** is this about? Just another diversion to the infiltration of drugs in this sport or the total mismanagement of it? How does any of this crap enhance the league? Does it improve the umpiring standard, the fairness of the fixture? No, just mind numbing bullshit. What the **** is this? A Knitting Football League?

Wat.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

I didn't expect them to be cheap but $90.00 is extremely steep.

I'm gonna wear the shit out of the Collingwood one while I tuck into my Chrisco hamper.

On a related note is 'sweater' now part of the Australian vocabulary? Back in my day everything like this was called a jumper and sweater was a purely american term heard only in american tv shows. I don't think I've ever heard an Australian say the word sweater in this way.

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Why is ours so different to the rest?

It's the clash version

In my day a sweater was the fat kid in PE class.

The SEN/Bertocchi conglomeration wholeheartedly endorses this Christmas-themed turn of events...

Why is the cat playing with Windows?

Can they just have a proper re-realease of '80s and '90s club guernseys, made of wool, with collars and long sleeves, with original sponsors logos (or at least no current branding)?

Didn't they just do that this year? They were like $200 each but looked pretty ****ing sweet.

Something about them wasn't quite right.

Short of going back in time and purchasing the original jumpers, it's probably never going to be.

I just had an epiphany....red and white....Santa is a Swannies fan!

They were a bit off, did like the Eagles one but they sold out very quickly.

Are they releasing women's sweaters? I can't find any on the AFL shop website

As in women sizes?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

As in women sizes?

Yeah...and also jumpers are generally shaped slightly differently from men to women
