I grew up with the 80s/90s wings. Fat and glorious.

I always hated that white outline around the eagle head

What I do like about the ISC 2018 guernseys is that the club just kept them as pure footy guernseys, no tat and little chintzy s**t like some slogan on the inside neck or logo or founding year above the number, and no poorly implemented watermark.
Look at what the Adelaide teams opted to go for - just unnecessary clutter.

Also loving how the tag inside the neck still seems to be a lucky dip of the old and new.

Yeah I hate anything above the number all logos, years and lettering. Just pure trash. Same with anything inside the collar. Hope we never go down this route of over design

Just feel as though Adelaide need to ditch the white number outline and that Port jumper needs a White out line on the numbersWhat I do like about the ISC 2018 guernseys is that the club just kept them as pure footy guernseys, no tat and little chintzy s**t like some slogan on the inside neck or logo or founding year above the number, and no poorly implemented watermark.

Crows need to lose the pointless watermark, the little crow logo on the back, and the white outline around the numbers, then it'd be a good, clean footy jumper
Go one step further and keep the black numbers but give it a white number panel.
Actually, why don't they just make the whole guernsey white instead of grey?
Oh wait...
The white jumper was a great clash jumper - was no reason to mess with it. But yep, if they have grey, may as well have their 'traditional' white number panel on it.
Off the topic of Port jumpers. I still hate the Hungry Jacks text. I thought I’d get used to it, but it’s still s**t. Especially seeing so much footage of late from the Gf, the burger just worked so much better. I honestly think we need a petition to return the buns!
I actually think the burger stands out more for HJs aswell. You don't even have to read it to know it's Hungry Jacks

Exactly. Surely that’s what marketing is all about?? Having a logo or symbol that people recognise straight away, without having to read it. Even reading the words hungry jacks, I feel like it’s less about the actual brand and it’s more about the words, if that makes sense? Like I look at the burger logo and actually think of the place, but when I read the red text, it’s just that, text. Stupid decision and hope it changes back
I’ve come to terms with it. Was firmly against it at first but it looks far less offensive on the actual jumpers than it did in the mockups.
I prefer this setup to the big red HJs box we had on the back last year. Looked 10x worse.

Interesting topic, because I was just wondering where to ask my Rick the Rock question - which is: WTF is he called Rick the Rock? He's an Eagle, not a Rock.
To answer yours though, he is a wedge tail, as per his profile page:
https://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/fan-zone/kids/meet-the-mascots
Yeah but have you seen what a wedge tail looks like?
They're not white.
He got that name cause he used to sell Benny Cuz rocks of coke back in the day.

I always think this.
Eddie the Eagle was a Wedgie. Then there was the one in between but I forget his name.
Rick the Rock Eagle cause he's a rocker
I remember reading somewhere that the name 'Rick the Rock' is a nod to the song Eagle Rock. Can't remember where it was though.
Good question, but nothing to do with the club - Auzzie wasn't named (and isnt owned by) the Eagles.
Elbows too pointy
