The debacle of 2010's HOME jumper

[iwantmeseats]

Ok, I made comment in the other thread, but feel so strongly I had to make a thread of its own so you can howl me down or agree. For the love of God, someone PLEASE explain to0 me why we now consider it ok to mess with our HOME jumper? We shouldnt be messing with it in the first place, and when we do, it looks s*** !! What possible point is there in shrinking the white panel FFS?

If you don t think it matters, fair enough, shut the hell up and go read another thread. To me, you better fkn believe it matters, in this changing competition I hold it dear, and its all we really have left. Its sacred you morons at HQ, you hear me? I dont give a flying **** about marketing and all that bulls*** ok ?! You got the clash jumper , and NAB cup crappola jumper to try and make some beer money off! Just like the AFL, you dont own this club, you are just the current caretakers , you hear me ??!

Was there a poll on if we should be changing our HOME a jumper ? I bloody well hope so, I didnt hear of one. If you have just done this off your own bat with no consultation to members, your a disgusting disgrace!

Just to re iterate, if you dont care, top left there is a back button, move on. I bloody care and Im disgusted. fkn hell, can we hold onto anything of tradition anymore? Are we happy to sell out our home gurnsey for church money in extra sales? Who the **** would want to buy that crap anyway?

Yeah, I care !!! Im upset!

for comparison- hard when it is just a picture at this point But I don['t see any difference over the last three years except maybe a black strip in the cuffs the distance the AFL logo is from the white appears the same to me.

Why does teh OP read so wide across the page?

ANd now back to the content of the OP.

WHat re teh differneces?
Changes to the collar and arm holes.
A slightly narrower white panel.

Is that all teh changes or are there more?

If so, that is certainly less dramatic a change than the 'hot cross bun' jumper we used for home games a few seasons back.

A slightly narrower white panel..

spread is my fault for putting the pictures side by side

and as I said I don't think it is - I think it's just that it's a picture not photo.

[iwantmeseats]

I still think it looks s***. AND the larger point...WHY ?!

[markp]

WHY ?!

It's the way it has been for the last two seasons.

Get over it.

Some people piss and moan about the most trivial things.

[shmic_s]

doesn't look different to me. i thought it had been a little thinner for a while now.
they do change them from at times thou, usually so the club can get more money from sales.
supporters are not going to replace them after each season. so the club changes them from time to time. marketing. money. survival.
as long as it is the st kilda football club out on the field, and the players are giving their all for the jumper, i'll continue to support the players & the club, including the marketing department.

[Armoooo]

For some reason they always make the white panel look tiny in pictures, it should look the same.

What I don't understand is why they cant find some wy to get the Jeld Wen Logo to stay within the black panel. It just looks stupid having it go across the white section too...

[Nattens]

Geezzz, the way this is going in 10 years we'll be Essendon

[ausfatcat]

The fact you haven't noticed it the previous two seasons tell's me the difference negliable.

[Spinner]

Is the panel narrower - Or does it just appear so in the picture.


I noticed that straight away too - I assume it was just the illustration.

The white appears narrower when flat because the sides of red and black are included....

this is correct.... hence the reason I found the jumpers- lenny 2009, the signed one 2008 the middle one 2010

^New jersey... looks fine to me..?

I think it may just be the ilustration that gives the illusion of thinner lines. They have got thinner, but not that thin.

Big fan of the cuff & collar though, i never really warmed to the piping, that's why i was immmediatly drawn to our clash jumper last year.

you don't mess with history.

You've nailed it Armoooo! it's just the graphic interpretation
I've got one here and the white strip is only 3/4 the width of the black and red when its laid out flat Now when the jumper is actually worn ie in 3D the strips look the same width when face on!
Don't sweat it's the real deal as far as I'm concerned and i'm an old fart that hangs on tight to tradion on this one especially!!

[asiu]

don't forget me starsign

hows that scarf going?

[TriColourDisciple]

To me, the 2010 guernsey heralds a return to a more traditional looking jumper with the removal of the black pin-striping in the sleeves/collar. First introduced in 2000.

When I lay down my 'Mortgage House' jumper from a few years ago, the white looks disproportionately thinner than the red and black & as starsign said, when worn, the colours become evenly proportioned.

I think the Saints will look great next year in the home and away season. The uninspiring, horizontal Geelong inspired rubbish they'll be wearing in the NAB cup, now that's another story

i was talking to a member of the club about that a while back when we got jeld-wen as a sponsor. she said for the NAB of 07 or 08 whenever we got them on board we had the jeldwen inside the black only, in no box, just the writing, and there was major problems with that. jeld wen was not happy, the logo could hardly be seen from the front. so by the time the H&A started they had it enlarged and were selling off the jumpers with the smaller logos for $20 cheaper.
then the following year they got told off saying they want the back to be in a box also, as its too hard to read.

[Finna]

You seriously have nothing better to do.

**** I wish life was that simple for me too.

Get over it!

[saintdooley]

also, i was never a huge fan of that collar thingy, with the black line through it. it looks a bit better now i think without that black line, but do we really need it that think? why not something like collingwoods where they dont have one at all, i think essendon have moved away fom it also.

All adidas jumpers are collar and sleeveless.

Lenny looks mighty fine to me With his rippeling muscles in it, the white panel looks normal
