Roars87 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Are Sydney sticking with the red and white hoop socks now opposed to the previous all red socks. They wore them last week v Essendon which I thought may just be a clash thing but they were wearing them again today when Port mauled them ....

I think its time to ditch them I haven't seen anything from the club on it, and most manufacturers I know list them as having Red socks for 2006.I actually prefer them in the hoops, so I hope they stay with them.

jr79 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I have no objections to hoops, and think its a nice change from boring plain socks but its the 0-2 start wearing them that I object to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play Carlton this week, it's the closest thing to a Bye week we have.They will win in hooped socks this week.

Roars87 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Some of you may be members on BigFooty and you may have seen my alternate Collingwood jumper design (My BigFooty username is Rory). Well it seems SEN in Melbourne have seen my design and are impressed and tomorrow I'm going to be interviewed on Mark Dorans afternoon show. Not exactly sure as to what will be asked of me but I will be on radio between 12 and 1 tomorrow (Tuesday) arvo.For those who haven?t seen the design here they are. The black would be used against the Southpor...err I mean Kangaroos and the white against St.Kilda and Port Adelaide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 fitting...the pinstripes smack of a certain baseball team despised by many, and a whole lot of folks hate Colliwobbles A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr79 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think the most obvious solution for Essendon and Collingwood is to design a clash jumper so ugly that the AFL has no choice but to stop it being used.Then again that tactic has hardly been a success for Brisbane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseHusker Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think the Hawthorn jumpers were great for a Heritage game. But not for continual use.And the black and white is almost a clash in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 For those who haven?t seen the design here they are. The black would be used against the Southpor...err I mean Kangaroos and the white against St.Kilda and Port Adelaide. Great idea, I also designed a new Pies clash jumper and send it to them, and my new jumper is just inverted current jumper, so white jumper with 3 black stripes front and back. It clashes enough IMO, so in that case, the home jumper stays the same and road one still has traditional stripes.GO PIES! lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black would be used against the Southpor...err I mean Kangaroos and the white against St.Kilda and Port Adelaide. Nice idea, but Collingwood proposed their White Clash jumpers with the same thickness Black stripes. Which sounds like KC51's idea.Shows you're on the same page KC, but the AFL rejected it.Roars,Their argument is they've worn B&W stripes, and your design is one colour with alternate Pinstripes. The AFL spoke to Collingwood about something like this (I didn't see the exact design, but had it explained to me) and Collingwood rejected the idea.As it stands, Collingwood are the only club standing against the idea, and that's what's saving Essendon from losing the Guinness Record 133 years playing every game in the same design jumper.

Alphabet Man Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 so basically Essendonhas agreed, but aren't going to wear differnet jumper unless all teams (Collingwood included) agree, thts how i read it.....don't worry Rob, Collingwood wont overtake your record, they have worn different versions i nthe past and all thati liked Collingwoods banner the other day - black and white stripes across the whole banner twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 here are my two ideas for clash jumper: if first one is rejected then the second one should pass.And this is my design for Croatian jumper, we just started a team and will play 3 nations with Austria and Czech Republic and are looking who's gonna put their logo where sponsor is now, and give us those jumpers... lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 First one has been rejected (issue is the front, not the back), second one *might* pass AFL muster...maybe lower the birdy a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Carlton has gone white:http://carltonfc.com.au/default.asp?pg=new...rticleid=259107But note this interesting snippet... Carlton will be required to wear this alternate guernsey in away matches against Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Melbourne and St Kilda. The Blues will not be required to wear the alternate guernsey in the traditional ?blockbuster? matches against Essendon, Collingwood and Richmond.For starters, Carlton v Richmond is soooo not a blockbuster. But what the heck is the rationale here? Teams are allowed to agree to ignore a clash?(and why is West Coast not listed as a clash side? Methink this confirms that the Eagles' home jumper will be royal blue in '07...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roars87 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Carlton can't wear royal blue. They ARE the good old Navy Blues.Is that white on the back of the Carlton top or is it a light shade of creamish colour. To me it doesnt look pure white.
