    Re: Our New Jumper.

    I'm quite serious about this, it's our heritage, it matters, the New jumper is awful, it's just a mistake made by someone who works in the factory or something. It's like having the richmond sash running from under the arm instead of from the shoulder.
    God I hope we fix it.

      I think we need to all send in a complaint to the club.

        The stripes are too low and too thin.

        The red stripe is supposed to be right up under the armpits.

        (INSERT GLORIOUS PORTRAIT OF EJ IN TRADITIONAL KIT)

        Why do people keep meddling with a classic beautiful guernsey?

        Having the stripes around your belly button just looks lame.

        Imagine the Carlton crest down on their belly buttons, it would look awful, that's what it's like to me.

        ****I can never ever ever seem to upload an image on woof. No matter how much I shrink it down to tiny blurry thumbnail, it always tells me it's too big. I was trying to load a picture of EJ in the classic kit. It's also the reason I've never put a picture on my profile. Help anyone????

          The hoops are far too low. It is a poor change in the design. The colour is OK, electric blue. Don't mind that the hoops are thinner, they can stuff around with that a bit, but it needs to be up around the chest, under the arm pit.

          The women's jumper is a good example of adding a bit or embellishing on the traditional design without compromising it.

            Hoops too low; colour remeniscent of 60's guernsey.

            Grrrr... i just think that something as iconic as a club's jumper should not be meddled with. Call me an old fuddy duddy but to me the traditional Victorian jumpers are still more powerful than the interstate teams designs.

            Marketing departments are all too happy to make changes for change sake. Even subtle ones.

              Petition a change!

              It's like a bloody blue jumper for Pete's sake with a couple of hoops thrown on the bottom as an afterthought.

                Has anyone spoken to the club? I'm happy to put a polite enquiry through if not

                    Can't hurt.
                    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                          And the goalkicking technique of a lot of the players . Pretty much everyone but Tory Dickson.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                Few bloke getting around tonight in the new Asics jumper. Gotta say, I think our players will be able to carry the lower hoops with no issues, but it's not a particularly flattering look for the average, paunchy punter!
