Yet another Jumper thread - is it time the club listened yet?

[oak79]

With the preview of the dig deep jumper against Brisbane, it's time to raise this topic. The recent Bombers clash thread also highlighted the love for wings design, disdain for the tri-panel (and white clash jumper) by a large amount of Eagles supporters, and even other club supporters.

My personal belief is the Eagles should the following strips:

Navy (yellow wings)
- Home
- Finals vs Bulldogs

Royal (yellow wings)
- Away
- ALL finals (except Bulldogs)
- Home v Carlton

Yellow (blue wings)
- Away v Bulldogs
- Dig Deep Game (Home)
- Any other Away games when royal is deemed a clash

Benefits
* traditional wings design consistent between all jumpers
* allows club to keep preferred Navy for home (merchandise reasons I believe)
* allows Home supporters to see Royal at subi on some occasions
* eliminates AFL justifcation for making us wearing white shorts with Royal at home
* prevents the dark + white "increased" clashes the current home jumper creates
* promotes sales of Yellow as a special Dig Deep jumper (=$$ + a cool jumper)

The club would still have 3 jumpers - but they would be 3 GOOD, instantly recognizable Eagles jumpers.

Any idea on how to get the club to listen to the fans that want to promote/ keep/ start a Wings jumper tradition?

Could a jumper expert add mock-ups of all 3 wings jumpers with the current logo?

The problem is that we're too successful* so the club doesn't really need to make supporters happy. Clubs like the Bulldogs do anything to keep their members happy, whilst we're happy to keep shitty jumpers in just so we can release a special edition peril every few years and roll in the cash.

Also * the merchandising reasons, royal > navy. We can wear a royal jumper and have navy merchandise. It's still blue.

*Obviously not really a problem

And the result of this poll's known already. The wings will win by a *load, and the club couldn't give a s**t.

Needs more ochre

For a club who has arguably the best jumper in the comp, (Royal Blue with wings) our home jumper is a disgrace.

I asked the club last year and they said the members want the home jumper? I don't remember doing any survey, has anyone else done a survey?

Wasn't it about this time last year someone started a facebook page? I think it got about 50 likes.
I hate the home jumper, I'm not sure how or why it ever came into existence.

 

[Doughboy]

I kinda like the home tri-strip with the Eagles head.

But I do have one in the living room signed by coxxy, so I am probably bias!

This is the perfect scenario for mine. Just need to find away to make the club listen.

I'm like most it seems who would prefer all our current jumpers to be a variation of the traditional wings jumper. Judd left years ago and he's still a fan of them.

It has 70 likes, we'd need 10 times that for the club to bat an eyelid

But the real travesty is the Tom Swift's hair page has 18 likes, get to it people.

 

[E92_]

Why don't you use twitter aswell for the wings petition, coxy?*


*know * all about twitter

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Needs more ochre

 

[tesseract]

Not many will poll on Facebook because FB is ghey.

*know **** all about twitter

Because sadly, it's pointless. If I still cared I would, but what's the point?

Because both of his followers are corporate accounts for banks

I like the way Snrub thinks.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Why do this again? Nothing is going to change.

 

[E92_]

Wasn't someone here going to put pics of the 3 wing jumpers up around subi the night before a game earlier this year?

 

[MIKE85]

Whats the dig deep jumper for the brisbane game?? Haven't heard anything about it.

Did these a while ago:

 

[Ochre]

I don't get how anyone could compare that navy one to the other two

 

[flamingEMBERS]

i think the navy is the best but thats because i was young and impressionable during the late 90s

 

[E92_]

I don't get how anyone could compare that navy one to the other two

Navy wings look good, coxy.


Admit it.

 

[Ochre]

Navy wings look good, coxy.


Admit it.

They look good in the same way Cameron Ling looks good.

In no way.
