Here is a pic from the Herald Sun of the new guernsey. The angle isn't very great but the larger Hancook logo is noticeable, as is the Reebok logo being moved on the neckline. Agree that there doesn't appear to be much of a difference in the colors, but regardless of the shade used it sure feels good to see these boys wearing the Red and Blue...

Have they confirmed jumper changes? Wasn't the V going to be sharper as well?

I hope that jumper is this years design with a new Reebok jumper as I would prefer a sharper V and smaller Hankook logo (most of it is just white space that takes away from the design of the jumper).

EDIT: On a side not it was great to see Port change their jumper to one used in the in the one game this year and their alternative jumper looks great too. Finally a team changes their jumper to something more traditional which looks much better. They went from one of the worst to one of the best jumpers while Brisbane went the other way.

I can see the difference although it isnt as much as they made it seem i still like it, now all we need to know is the numbers on there backs

Great shot, they look very happy together. Here's to many years of midfield bliss for the lovely couple.

Love the darker blue but hate the round neck. Looks stupid with a red V yoke. Also, it will clash with the V shape of the brownlows hanging around these boys necks in the next few years (too much pressure?)

Agree with the Hankook logo - to big. Less is best.

Agree 100%, Ports new jumper is pretty slick where brisbane have pulled something horrible out of their rectum!!!

Anyway, I hate to sound bias but the MFC jumper is the best. Although I would love to see the old school MFC symbol form the 1920's at the tip of the V, it would just look awesome.

wasnt the jumper ALWAYS meant to be navy blue with a red yolk?

I never noticed that until I read this. Now I see what you mean. The rounded neck actually does clash a bit with the point of the V. Not exactly a major problem, but I guess it's noticeable.

apparently the final version is still being developed....'@nyencken Small steps. Darker navy, 'sharper' V, modern shape...getting there'. cam schwab today on twitter.

Yep, afraid you're right, time to get the kitchen scissors out boys!

Great news, thanks for that.

[brey9186 102]

can they be as skin tight as the adelaide jumpers please? those guys are impossible to jumper tackle

That is good news. Prefer the 'deeper or sharper' V.

Agree, Sharper V and a nice blood red !!!

[Keyser Söze 0]

From my past experience in printing I know it almost impossible to get a good strong dark red, and Cam Schwab has mentioned this previously (I can't remember where, but i did note it).

In an effort to get it darker it often will start to look more like a maroon or worse.

I honestly don't think they'll succeed. Our red next to that of Essendon, Sydney, Adelaide or the Doggies would be almost exactly the same. I can guarantee that.

Would love a sharper V though.

The nexk issue I understand aesthetically, but I'm there is a very important functional reason for it to be like that.

Similar to the tightness and tapering of jumpers to inhibit tackling, or patches for drying hands on the backs of shorts.

But it just looks like they're wearing the Victorian State guernsey. Don't know about everyone else but I never thought I'd live to see the day when a South Australian team willingly played in a strip that so instantly brings to mind 'the Big V'.

Despite the colours it actually reminded me of the South Australian state jumper which isn't a bad thing as Port need to strengthen their ties with the state and not just the original Port Adelaide Magpies.

What do people think of the following design for the 2010 jumper???

Changes from the 2009 jumper:

- Deeper and darker blue (bordering on black).

- Blood red yoke, which starts higher up on the arm cuff for a sharper appearance.

- The introduction of '1858' on the back on the jumper just under the collar. We are the oldest football club in the world... be proud of our heritage.

- Changes to sponsor logos, e.g. Reebok = RBK, and The Age = Volvo

We also need to keep the collar 'V' shaped... not the rounded 'T-shirt' look which are stupid looking. Unless there is a physiological advantage to wearing these rounded collars, I say that we stick with a 'V' shape. Looks more like a football jumper!

Any other changes needed???

Firstly, I like the change. If anything I would prefer the "Blood red yoke" to start a little higher up on the arm cuff just a little more, and the bottom of the yoke (V) to be further down another 2-3 centimetres. I think the "bottom" sits too high. ie. As low as the Port and S.A. V's on their jumpers....!!!

Secondly, I like the idea of 1858 on the back underneath the collar.

Finally, agree with the deeper darker blue (bordering on black).

I was speaking the guy at the MFC store, and there is talk of the Kaspersky logo also changing, as to make the letters stand out more and to get rid of the background colour on the white jumpers (which is green on the white jumpers).

I'm not sure if they are trying to do this with the home jumpers as well but it would be good imo.

[Trisul 664]

Must admit im not a fan of the 'circular' neck that was shown in some recent photos.

I understand that it's part of the tackle proof design (at least that's how it's been presented) but very, very much prefer the 'v' neck, as with mfcrox' post.

One thing that has stood out in recent times is the 'height' of the numbers. Seems like they'll be on the players shoulders sooner rather than later.

[Johnson#26 0]

like the idea of heritage, but don't go down the '1858' route. it looks so tacky on a jumper. id rather clubs have it the way the aus cricketers do with their odi caps and stick their club number (order from debut since 1897) underneath the adidas/nike/fila/whoever logo.
