Which guernsey - new 2017 clash Guernsey post #152

[thylacine60]

i don't understand this overprotectiveness of the guernseys tbh, it's not as if the clash jumpers are unrecognizable as Carlton jumpers. soccer teams have 3 kits, NBA teams seem to have 3 or 4 during a season. I don't see why the jumper is so sacred that we s**t our pants when we need a white version of it.

Spot on. You don't.

The only problem with the clash jumpers in the last few years is that we don't win too many games in them... wait til we start Winning again.Wait til the opposition once again fears and respects us. We'll look good in any jumper...

We haven't had a good clash jumper and I can't understand why we haven't used a warm natural tone rather than a stark white.

It makes for a huge difference and just adds depth to the overall look. Omo white is just, too..........white.

To be honest, the baby blue one wasn't far away. Had we taken a different approach and worn white shorts - instead of the baby blue - it wouldn't have been quite so jarring.

But you're right, the white is just lazy. And boring. Why not use a bit of orange/yellow a la our old uniform.

It's not so much the white guernsey that frustrates, more the clashes that aren't and the times it actually makes things worse than the navy would have.

That's cos the AFL's clash policy is stupid and doesn't apply for certain teams *cough* Collingwood

Not the best example of the natural I'm thinking about as this one is a little too red.
A bluer natural would be more fitting.

.....and keep it simple unless you're going to do something revolutionary.
By simple I mean; no navy bands...no navy trims....just Navy CFC & Natural body.

not sure what that thing is meant to represent but it best go back on the sheep

Here's some old designs I've created in the past as clash designs (ignore the 150 years text on some of them). Would the 'Traditionals' be happy with something like these? Imagine the current monogram on them...

As much navy as practical, yet employing the old guernsey design:

Two takes on the old Carlton design when we first joined the VFL:

Here's that yoke design I described earlier on a previous page:

Sturt's useless 'V' clash design which was useless and unneeded, yet pretty nifty:

And a classic take on Blackburn Rovers' kit, but for Carlton:

pls no to the Rovers' kit. My eyes. The goggles, they do nothing.

Combining our best and (subjectively) worst clash jumpers!

They all just go away from the regular 'inverse' design we are currently using. I see no problem with it, but a bit of change is good every now and then!

This is the finest guernsey I've ever seen. Nostalgia aside, I've no idea why people adore the current ugly blob monogram so much.

That's the jumper i have, and i love that design.
Mine is even signed by the great man himself!.

I like this one the most out of the ones you posted. I would buy that guernsey.

I really like the combo of the navy and grey.
All bias and poor MS Paint skills aside, I'm actually starting to dig the little mock up I did the other day. If we could get away with keeping the front as classic as possible, with just some small intrusions of grey on the side and the shoulders.
If it was to stay as basic and close to the original as possible, I'd go with something like mine, but if it had to be more detailed and intricate, then I'd go with yours.


You also look like you spent more than the 5 mins that I spent.... and possibly have much more skill

The baby blue strip was too light. Sturt's Oxford and Cambridge blues could work

 

[thylacine60]

no way afl would let us play in sturt jumpers - and what would they wear while we were using them? FMD, TFD..........

Thanks mate! Yeah, all the credit to the Double Blues for that design, an absolute cracker!

Personally I'm not too sure of the grey back. I can try mock up on an actual person how that would look if you'd like, but I don't think the AFL want a full navy front and a full grey back.. West Coast's old home jumper had that issue.
If anything, make the WHOLE jumper grey and have navy detailing, maybe with white shorts?

Nothing more than experience, my friend

Just leave the jumpers as is for more than 5 minutes.
