Gothamite Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I would presume so - looks like a league-wide thing. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Just FYI, the Crows wore these one-off guernseys in an exhibition against SANFL's Norwood last week. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Cronulla Sharks have the best cheerbabes, bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzzaf Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thanks for that factoid and I agree, the Mermaids are the best in Australia at least. Too bad a few NRL teams are looking to "alternative" ways to cheer this year. Souths are using Tap Dogs this year and the Eels are introducing male cheerleaders and tumbling acts....Seriously though, back to AFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Just FYI, the Crows wore these one-off guernseys in an exhibition against SANFL's Norwood last week.heh, if it was in the old away's style (w/o the number shield), that would make a good clash. I figure I'll add that to my to-do list (just as soon as I actually do half the stuff I've been meaning to get done ) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 However, here is my version of the Lions Clash jumper, on Gazzza's excellent template.Thanks to those who helped out with some of the tracing, they know who they are.And a big thanks to the AFL Shop at Knox City for stocking these pieces of trash, and allowing me to photograph them close enough to enable people to trace them.The more detailed the version of this jumper I see the less and less I like it.Is that meant to be a series of scratchmarks or jungle camouflage in the watermark?Err, well neither.It's actually the shadowing on the jumper.It looks better on colours than on white.

Roars87 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Carlton are wearing some ugly looking shorts. Hopefully these things don't make there way to the H&A season. Also the necks on those jumpers look awfully tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Carlton are wearing some ugly looking shorts. Hopefully these things don't make there way to the H&A season. Also the necks on those jumpers look awfully tight.The whole jumper looks too tight! Did Whitnall have to change jumpers during the game... he ended up with an "away sponsors" jumper on.For those who haven't seen the shorts, they have two navy blue panels on the backside made of some kind of chamois material for players to wipe their hands on. Looks very odd - a Nike innovation also used in the NRL by the Broncos, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 It's certainly far from attractive, those shorts. The neck is pretty tight too. twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The AFL logo in the numbers looks pretty cool too. I suppose they are just following soccer in that regard. twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 AFL logo on the numbers is just a grab for cash.They're going to sell those numbers in retail stores for more than you would normally buy numbers.I expect they'll make something out of it, but probably not a great deal.As for Carlton's jumper, with that collar it looks like a soccer shirt with the sleeves cut off.And with some of the rule changes they're brought in, it suits just nicely.Next thing offside and yellow cards.

Primal Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 From what I've watched this weekend, the number logos are almost invisible when the players are moving around at any speed (or when it's bucketing down rain in Cairns!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 UGH!!! Here are the Saints jumpers: I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzzaf Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The chamois idea is a good one but couldn't they use a white chamois material? I hope the Broncos dont decide to contrast on their shorts.That Saints jumper above looks like a t-shirt with one of those iron on transfer logos...after 10 or so years.
