Our jumper
Let me be the first one to pick up on this:
I reckon we've tweaked our jumper. The hoops have been broadened.
Probably not the most important thing to have come out of today's game (we look okay, btw. Cue in the rack after half time etc.) but I think we've broadened our hoops by a cm or so. For me, that's a winner.
Anyone else notice that, or have I just had one too many beers to drown out a 2pt loss to Collingwood??

Re: Our jumper
You could be right Webby. The hoops were slightly lowered in 2015 compared to previous couple of seasons, but I didn't notice if they were wider.

Re: Our jumper
Have they gone back to how they were a couple of years ago?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Our jumper
Yep, the hoops were definitely lowered for the start of last season. They remain lowered, however I reckon this season the hoops are also a bit fatter - which looks good.
I think the guernseys in the shops are still existing stock, but the ones the players wore yesterday have been tweaked a bit.... Or perhaps my eye was just tricked by the home jumper being combined with white shorts - something you don't often see nowadays, but something I think looks good.

Agree! Like the 2016 Royal Blue we had.
Also, I would like the hoops higher up the jumper. It looks best when a bit of the number overlaps over the red hoop!

Re: Our jumper
The skipper looks like he's donning a size too big and stretching it downward so it may not be the most representative snap of the fit/proportions.
I half suspect that's a photoshop job too which may skew the proportions further.
Agree that blue is bloody lurid.

Re: Our jumper
My recommendations would be make the red and white stripes 25% wider and lift them a bit higher on the jumper.
Change the blue to traditional royal blue. I think Melbourne's blue would be very close now to ours.
I'm not sure about the red triangle, I'd leave it as blue.
