Jumper No's

[PuntRdRoar]

Have they been fixed- by that i mean similar to maybe the essendon style no's...or are we gonna get more mistakes with the numbers. Have any of you seen the new hummel jumpers with the numbers on them or are there any pics of the jumpers with the new numbers on them. thanx Ramps.

Haven't seen them so far RT. At training and in the intra-club games the boys just use the old-school numbers on the back of the training guernseys.

Just an update RT - I've heard (could be a load of garbage mind you lol) that we'll be returning to the larger traditional "old school" numbers this year. Also keeping the black outline around the numbers is still being decided upon.

maybe the hummell tops on saturday will give us an indication. basically the numbers need to be thicker and bigger thats all. its not like you need einstein to work it out lol.

Not sure if the numbers are bigger than last year's. From the photo they are clear and the two digits aren't squashed together. 

For those there today, were the numbers easier to read from a distance?

I am the litmus test for jumper numbers (Mrs Magoo lol) - will let you know after round one if they're any good.

I actually think they are going to be fine (as I posted on the family day thread).

I was standing a fair way away from the stage and could make out the numbers without a problem.

I think they are the same size as last year but more importantly they are clearly more round in shape and not so bucnhed together - OLD SCHOOL numbers is a good term for them

i think we are gonna have issues again, the numbers arent fat enough i reckon.

The numbers look fine and are definately bigger and wider than last years.  The problem with last years numbers was that they were too squashed and didn't cover the entire width of the back of the jumper (some fancy crap font was used).  These numbers are the old school numbers and are much clearer.  There will still be the issue of the white on yellow creating it difficult at times from a distance but it's a massive improvemet on last year.  Note last year coburg also used similar numbers and it was very difficult to read without the yellow on white issue.  The design of the number was the main issue.
