Amazing how a premiership changes perception or rather, changes the perception of those in the business of shaping perception.. the media.
I have no doubt that minus a premiership there would be absolutely zero chance of a reporter (outside of a Dogs' fan)proffering that our jumper is the best.

Obviously!

Fair call although I can believe that others can believe we have the best colours. An old Essendon supporter and teacher at that great football school St Pat’s Ballarat told my namesake in the 1960’s that he thought our jumper was more like an athletics singlet.
It could be that other teams think our jumper is powerful but weren’t inclined to voice it until now the team is powerful too.

A bit of a disclaimer needed as well. That sportingnews site is effectively a couple of high school kids ripping off content from BigFooty, other media, childish opinion pieces, and posting it as fact.

Well they got this one right

Only difference is the big boys in the real press rip off the more credible 'Woof' instead.

Retro Round Jumper

Retro Round Jumper

Its a thing of beauty, really should have Allen Jakovich modelling it.

[Sedat]

There are many worthy suitors - Daniel Hargreaves, Ilija Grgic, Peter Quill, Jason Watts, Richard Osborne

That sure is a plunging neckline, just needs some chest hair and gold chains.

[chef]

There goes $130

My god, my eyes.

I might be alone on this but I hate the diamond robo guernsey.

No you are not - it is a shocker

It's a ridiculous jumper and that's what makes it good.

Yes. 100%. That's why it will be popular.

Spot on

Everyone hated Thor (I didn't) however it made the most revenue.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Honestly, the jumper is just FIRE.

One of those ones where on paper it doesn't make sense, shouldn't make sense, but as a wearable is money.

Might be because 'simplicity is king' these days with jumpers, to the point where they ALL look boring.

I've already bought one of these.... and as a side note, as a young kid, this was my first ever jumper!

It is genuinely hard to stuff up our jumper.

As the robodog era proved though...it isn't IMPOSSIBLE.

It's awful. Awful. I love it.

On second thought it's not so bad.

Haha I used to hate robodog, now I actually love we're bringing it back for retro rounds.

Agree it's pretty hard to stuff up our colours. Hawthorn, on the other hand, can probably never make a good one.

[D Mitchell]

I bet the fat bloke with the pony tail thought up that particular version of the laughing cat. Neither of Dale nor Bont can bring themselves to look at the camera, too embarrassed.

[1eyedog]

I might be alone on this but I hate the diamond robo guernsey.

It's about the worse jumper ever.

Pretty sure the players would feel the same.

It's laughable and they shouldn't be wearing a jumper that is so awful it's good.

I get the club put this out to vote as it had direct marketing relevance i.e. how many can we sell but if something is actually awful to begin with it usually just stays awful.

You can't please everyone and as it has already been put to the vote I'll shut my mouth now and lighten up.

[MrMahatma]

The diamond dog is awful.

The c1991 that Bont is wearing is the best. I've got an original old woollen, both long and short sleeve.

[Sedat]

The diamond dog is awful.
It's like 'Point Break', so bad it's good (how Anthony Kiedis wasn't nominated for a Best Supporting Actor that year is one of life's great mysteries).

That would be a waste of time.

A product of embryonic colour TV, the closest thing to awesome, I was once described as awesome for walking down a flight of stairs, is the ICI patch. ICI was a timely sponsor and donated 2 young execs to the Board. Thank God for a bit of sanity in 2012, perhaps the hoops could be a couple of inches higher. Whilst we are at it, time for Bont to have a shave and overgrow the shortbacka.

ICI changed name to Orica

[D Mitchell]

In 1996, ICI plonked Michaels Martin and Feehan onto the Board, can't blame ICI for that, a crisis, put your money in, your auditor's watching. ICI stepped in when most needed. Peter Gordon was able to go public with
(a) thousands in the bank, the envy of 11 other clubs, courtesy of members, supporters and well wishers, particularly, C'wood;
(b) a team of blokes Carlton and Essendon couldn't, or wouldn't bother with, persuade to join them; and
(c) a substantial, Western Suburbs, sponsor, bigger than Spurlings, sanctioned by the Cummins family.

Exhilarating times, never again.
