The alternative strip chosen by Smorgan and his board is about a boring as he is.

No imagination, no foresight, no taking of the opporunity to appeal to a young market with something more dynamic and "now".

It will look shocking too when the team runs out in a predominantly white jumper with lovely matching white shorts.

It'll be like waving the surrender flag before we even start the game.

Too bloody right, GH!

Boring as a blob of batshit.

And with all-white, including white shorts, they'll look shocking. I just hope some of the performances in the "training tops" are better than the white jumper is.

What a load of crap.

The jumper chosen is the best choice.

Grey looks shit as worn by Richmond a few years back in the preseason comp.

Orange looks shit as worn by the bulldogs during their 'lendlease' sponsorship games.

Using a different mix of colours as West Coast did in the early 00's ended up being a disaster - they only designed that jumper coz they did research and 'kids' liked it.

On the field Jurusa's(if it's his design, cant be bothered reading the whole thread) will just look white with random blue bits scattered. It reminds me of that terrible Sweathog gear back in the early 90's.

Freo's away strip on the other hand thats almost all white is definitely one of the better strips in the league.

C'mon Blues supporters you are like a bunch of Richmond supporters whinging about anything and everything.

Yes, and you are the royal head of the non-whinge King Winnie...

It's just a simple bloody thread. Posters are debating whether they like the alternative strip or not. What a suprise- some do, AND, some don't!

What's your opinion mate? Do you like it?

Personally, I do.

For the first time ever i agree with Orangewhip. i love it.

Look at Freo's away strip, one of the most eye catching and striking strips in the AFL, i'm getting a "clash" guernsey for sure.

I was a little undecided when I first heard that we we're going to have an all white clash stripe but now that I've gotten used to the idea I think it looks great. We'll have to wait and see how it looks on the field but overall I think they did a good job.

Personally it was the lazy, easy job. The "clash" jumper does nothing for our "brand" says less than nothing about the Club.

Just like the Board, the White jumper shows the lack of forward thinking and imagination endemic at PP at the moment.

Well what would you have had as the away strip then Kaptain Kouta? I agree i think it looks good, i dont see what else would have worked

The white's a bit bland for mine. I'll reserve my judgement until I see it in action, but I probably would have preferred to have something that works orange in, a colour long associated with the club.

I've been very open with what I would have done with our "clash" jumper. It's not an "away" jumper, by the way.

This is what I wrote on Feb 3:


Camelboy came up with this:


My version harks back to our history, from the forming, by Sir Redmond Barry, and the reason we were called The Blues to begin with, too.

The only problem is that the colours are Telstra's corporate colours.

Alternative strips have the web jumping as fans clash over tradition[/quote]

Verbs came up with this one, which I also like:


So there you go, I've gone back through the first 24 pages (of 25) to show you what I think would work.[/i]

I prefer the earlier stuff but its still kick ass deftones - theres some killer tracks on the b sides and rarities album

and yeah

i bought my clash guernsey it kicks ass its not like the photos we were first shown though - those photos showed blue panels down the sides - these dont have them

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

I preferred the orange too, but mine had navy panels down the side.

I'm not too fussed about the white, but would like to someone in the full kit.

I have seen a few kids wearing them to training, and last night we saw one at the Twenty20 GF!

the white without the blue panels on the side is the replica guernsey, if you wait a bit longer the official guernsey will be released and it will have the navy blue panels, just costs a bit extra

the orange ones are hideous. from a commerical POV i reckon the white one will be a fantastic seller. and as i said on the previous page i really like the white one.

yeah, orange is part of the history of the club, but its also a very difficult colour to make good if you saturate a guernsey with it.
