Well, @#$%&!, there's a surprise. :lol:

Perhaps if the fans were consulted about this in the first place... :thumbsup:

Yeah but Doc makes no mention of the key stakeholder's thoughts there, though. I would assume if the AFL don't like it, that's the end of it.

As far as I know the only sticking point is the club logo on the back. The club is hoping to keep the small logo on the back of the jumper (with the 'Celebrating 150 years' reverting back to 'Mens sana in corpore sano') but the AFL's feedback from Round 5 was that the names were a touch small. It looks as though the names will be a permanent fixture from next year. If they increase in size - it could bump the logo off the back. But there's no issue with the AFL relating to the jumper.

Thanks for the insight, Doc.

Pretty simple solution: the latin motto exists either in the hem or inside the guernsey, possibly on the reverse side of the logo, or running along the top of the jumper at the back, formatted as:

Mens sana
in corpore sano

In slightly smaller type than the names.

The logo on the back of the jumper is, in my opinion, shithouse; not the logo itself, the design is fine, but its placement.
