The Official 2010 Jumper Guide

Re: The Official 2010 Jumper Guide

As long as the AFL does not force the club against which any of the above 3 are playing to wear a strip it does not want to wear, as it outrageously does when C'wood play North, then I can't see that its anybody's businss but the clubs concerned. If R'mond, E'don and C'wood want to wear the one jumper all the time, good luck to them. Franklly, I wish our club stood firmer on identity issues, such as jumpers.

??
We have had numerous jumper design changes in over what 120 years. As long as its red white and blue and a reasonable design, whats the difference?

The problem is clubs like Essendon and Collingwood not just believe they own the colours but also the design.

I would think that at least 90% of people believe some colours and designs look similar to others. Its the 21st century, there is no need in a game where colours are important for clashes to happen.

The easiest way to fix this problem is to allow the clubs more profit in the jumper sales, watch these rogue club quick smart try do backflips.

I don't claim to be a historian. Leaving aside more confused times when a club called Footscray wore royal blue and white horizontal hoops and a red cap and apart from a period in early '1900's where the club wore a red jumper with red-white-blue sash, until the mid '90's, the design has been consistently royal blue with a red hoop and a white hoop, varied from the mid '70's to border the red hoop. Recent madnesses, the ochre jumper with the club badge, jumpers with dog's heads and the white version, are embarrassing. Design is up there with colours. I admire the Essendon and Collingwood stands. If the club has to have a clash strip, why not use the turn of the century red strip ?

I agree with you on the way to "fix this problem", not that I see it as a problem. If clubs want to adopt alternative jumpers influenced by greater revenue streams, that up to them but clubs should not be forced to adopt strips they don't want.

It is a problem. Colours/designs clash and look similar. Its a fact. Only the fools at Essendon and Collingwood are blind to that. I have no problem with our club changing the design of our jumpers as long as they keep the colours. Why can't these clubs do the same?

Re: The Official 2010 Jumper Guide

The problem is the AFL don't have the courage to set a strict set of guidelines and more importantly enforce them on the 'bigger' clubs who refuse to co-operate. As someone has stated if it's good enough for the biggest clubs in the world to do it aka Manchester United than it should be good enough for Collingwood.

Re: The Official 2010 Jumper Guide

i remain baffled why no-one wears 'green' - it is one of freo's colors but they seem to have completely dropped it from their strip. Just amazing that gc17 are going to be red, white, blue and yellow when there is an entire spectrum with a strong sporting heritage (boston celtics, green bay packers etc) that is being completely ignored.

We've been through the clash jumper/s debate before.

Here are the links if anyone wants to keep it going:

We aren't allowed to discuss the subject again? Its pretty slow for AFL news this time of year.

Of course you can! Be a good idea though if you did in the right thread.

Those threads were last contributed to in, respectively, July and April 2009, well out of sight. The issue of the club's jumper and identity peroccupies many supporters. Threads veer around in all directions the longer they run, no harm in that.

What does it matter when those threads were created? They're still relevant to the issue you & ES are discussing.

I think this has now been fixed. The AFL board is a new one and a couple of settings weren't consistent. Send me a PM if there is a still a problem.
