    Unfortunately the crowd at those events is a little too easily pleased. They could have announced the away jumper was black with a red sash under the title "don the sash" and they would've cheered. The easiest gig ever for an mc.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

          Agreed Jake would look good in anything BUT I was one of those at the function that CHEERED when the red was ditched and don't consider myself easily pleased just someone with an opinion!!

            Depends on how you use it.

              You were cheering that the red had been ditched, fair enough, it was clearly unpopular. Unfairly maligned in my opinion but that is not the issue. The issue is they've replaced it with an absolute stinker, with no consultation with the fans, moved away from the hoops which we mandated and are spinning it as listening to the fans. It is a terrible jumper, marginally behind Hawthorn's Power Rangers jumper and our very own Origin Energy freak show.

              Whoever signed off on it should have their position at the Club questioned.

                  Who else's opinion is it supposed to be? Fair dinkum. Have you got anything to actually add to the discussion, or are you going to to just get defensive and state the obvious.

                    Sorry if I seemed to have upset the applecart but to lump everyone at the Social Club do as "easily pleased" as Soupaman did and then tell me I am ignorant because I don't know the benefits of wearing red as Ringer did I just wanted to add to the discussion by putting across my thoughts.

                      Not a fan of the red. Glad to hear your thoughts on it.

                      Aesthetic judgement maybe but sack someone? Think about it. I reckon kids will love the away clash. The truth of it will come out in jumper sales. IF nobody is buying it you are right. If it sells well, especially junior ones, I'm happy to live with it.

                          I don't think the new one is a terrible jumper but i'm really not a fan of putting pictures in the design.
                          Sure ok for training gear or items to sell but not for a match day jumper. We started this craze back in 96 with that horrid hoop explosion with the cyberdoggie logo inside, similar to what the frankston dolphins still wear today.
                          Unfortunately clubs are still messing with the idea of putting fun pictures on to try and sell to the kids.

                          This new one while it's a nice enough picture it just doesn't look professional.

                          How can others take you seriously if you are running around with a giant cartoon dog on you.

                            The current home strip was done for us. This strip is for the club. I'm thinking of it as a compromise.

                              I hated the red, glad to see it gone.

                              I'm not a big fan of the hoops, but you could model an old turd and tell people it's the traditional design and people would cheer for it because it's from the good old days.

                              I preferred Robodog

                              I don't mind the new one, although I prefer the white of our current design anyway.

                              I am not easily pleased.

                                Don't....like....the hoops?? So do you root for the robodog? What's your preference?

                                I see a lot of young hipsters wearing the hoops and they don't wear it because it's traditional. It's a clean design, and flat graphics are in.
