Alternative guernseys

I LOVE IT, THE SASH IS BACK YESSSSSSSSS

Did I tell you I LOVE IT

 
 
 

The sash is back 

I'm saying what you're all saying

The thin black outline makes a massive difference - massive.  The old one (without the outline) was not easy on the eye as you could not make out the white number from the yellow sash at times.  I'm surprised they didn't think of something so simple ten years ago.

Also the new (old) jumper looks so much more refreshing and I think this will reflect the overall outlook at the club.  It will be like a completely new fresh start for the players who were zombified during the past few years - ie new coach, and handful of new teamates, new jumper, new enthusiasm.  A really good way to rid the cancer of the recent past.

Bring it on !!

I'm a traditional girl - like the RFC guernsey without changes - except without the yellow sash on the back - i'm blind enough and can't see who's who at the best of times, but with the sash and white numbers, just makes it even harder.
Alternative summer strip - prefer our traditional one - but if it will generate more money for the club, then i don't see why not.

On first impressions, i actually think the new numbers are easier to see.

I remember thinking the same way when we changed it the first time back in 95 to half a slash. After seeing the traditional jumper linked to flogging after flogging in the late 80s/early 90s, it was like a fresh start. And combined with a winning team that year the team looked stronger and meaner in it. Now the reverse has happened as time has allowed the traditional guernsey to lose this stigma of those terrible years.

Eddie did the same thing when he took over the Pies. Reversed the B&W. Hopefully they'll finish bottom 4 again in the next few years and revert back to their "traditional" mainly white jumper. The current one is responsible for most of the clashes as its mainly black.

Would you beleive I actually like it? I was against changing back but that black outline has made a hell of a difference to it on the eyes........

I did like the yellow though on the back. It was a pure black and yellow top.......

[2JD]

I like it too!!! No wonder they had a massive clearance of last years jumpers two fro the price of one, guess who got sucked in and bought a couple for the kids for christmas!!! Oh well, at least the dog lead I bought isnt last years model lol

What do you guys think of the news that 15 out of the 16 clubs including the Tiges apparently have agreed to use a clash jumper in 2006?

No mention of what this clash jumper will be though.

[the_boy_jake]

If its going to look anything like the last couple of jerseys we've commisioned - specifically the wizard cup grey number with tiger head motif, I'm not all that excited.

[Mopsy]

I am color blind and the only jumper I have any trouble with against our jumper is Essendon.
I look at the shorts.

Collingwood would not change as if the other 15 changed they would already be wearing an alterative strip

Baaaaa, sheep the lot of 'em.  Only one Club has the guts to tell the AFL where to get off.

screw the pies, one ion all in!  sponsors away strips are the way to go!

[mightytiges]

Pies already have an alternative strip. It's their current mostly black guernsey they use now. They should wear their old traditional mostly white one when they play us with white shorts as there never ever use to be a jumper clash

[Fishfinger]

Pretty sure I heard Essendon were the ones who voted no.
Better not mention their nickname, apparently it is no longer politically correct in some circles. (probably more loops than circles - fruitloops that is)
