Certified Legendary Thread #ReturnTheWings, Part 2: Job Done!

[HoneyBadger35]

A slightly smaller HJ’s box logo would be optimal. Looks retro af. Wing tips 10/10.

Amazing jersey, just wish the HJ box was a touch smaller.

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah look I’m being pretty picky and negative about it, but I don’t get the retro calls?? Yeah it was on the back of our guernseys for mane years in the 2000s, but it’s always been the bun on the front, since the real retro days of the early 90s and all the way through. It just looks out of place on the front. I’ll het used to it, but for now I hate it and want it to burn.

Can’t speak for anyone else but when I say it looks retro I don’t mean like an old Eagles jersey, I mean the simple typeface in a white box is a very retro style of jumper branding across loads of sports.

 

[MIKE85]

Ah ok, gotcha. Yeah it’s very simple. Just disappointing to lose an iconic logo from our history that didn’t need to disappear

 

[FKASC]

IMO the text-only logo looks more iconic to me than the 2018 iteration of the bun-in-red-box.

It’s the HJs typeface that is iconic IMO

Are there proper retails with lendi and printed gold logo available yet?

 

[MIKE85]

Nah I was told April the team store will have the jumpers with Lendi on the back. Assume they’ll also have the printed gold AFL logo

 

[flamingEMBERS]

But can someone please check now we’ve seen them properly?

[MIKE85]

Do you mean check with the team store about the Lendi jumpers, or are you talking about something else??

 

[HoneyBadger35]

The team store has them online, with a stunning blank back

[MIKE85]

As much as I like the wingtips, blank back just makes it look like a best n less knock off. Plus the shitty ironed on premiers AFL logo. I’d be waiting for April to get the real deal. But then I am a fussy prick when it comes to footy jumpers!!

Here I fixed your mock-up for you.

 

[MIKE85]

I will say, at least on the real ones the HJs logo is slightly more to the right than in the team store image. Still could be over a little more but doesn’t look a strange bad as the picture

I checked yesterday and there is a whole rack at the team store of 2019 royal guernseys with iron-on gold logo and no Lendi logo on the back. Will take a while to sell them, I would imagine.

 

[DanWCE]

Any news on whether all the shitty Xmas polos have been sold and replaced with good quality ones?

 

[MIKE85]

I was told that there’s no guarantee that the polos will be be updated with Lendi this year. They confirmed the jumpers would be ready in April, but couldn’t confirm the polos would be done at all.

Cheers mate. I might put my store credit towards a premiership guernsey then. The quality of the polos is what concerned me. And they didn't look as good as last year's

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah I got last years one late in the season and the quality is actually pretty good. I’ve seen these new ones in the AFL store and they seem noticeably different, from a quality POV. I’d wait until next year maybe when they’ve got Lendi on there.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Can some GD legend make a mock up of our jumper with Gaff’s eagle logo on it

7AFL’s insta story, a few have had a crack at the logo. Shannon Hurn nailed his, some very average efforts in there though.

 

[MIKE85]

So having watched the GF again last night, I noticed that Collingwoods Emirates logo is positioned almost exactly the same as our new HJs one, with the left side lining up with the middle of the S in ISC. Do you think maybe the positioning is an ISC thing, and they just line up the edge of the box with the middle and where the right side lands it lands??

 

[MIKE85]

Seems like the SGIO logo from last year was the same. Left side lined up with the middle.

That HJ 's logo is just arse

 

[DanWCE]

Premiership polos now available. Anyone scoped them in store for quality?
