I'm with the Brisbane supporters on this one. They took a classy and meaningful jumper and changed it into a cluttered cartoon mess.

The difference between this and having a white jumper is the club changed it off their own bat, not because of AFL imposed colour restrictions.

will be totally list on some though.

Yeah, I agree.

The home jumper is sacrosanct and not to be tinkered with, especially with the way they made it.

Being inventive with your away strip is completely different than abandoning your home strip that the past identify with (FFC supporters) and the present are very proud of (Lions fans who saw 01, 02, and 03).

The Brisbane supporters voted to ditch the "paddle pop lion" tonight.

From the www.afl.com.au article:

Another example of a supporter base from a poorly performing club that just doesn't get it.

This guy sounds like WYL.

Does anyone think Hawthorn supporters really cared when their players were running out in various horrendous strips in recent times?

The white jumper? The horrible camouflage jumper?

No one cares because they have been winning.

At the end of the day, it's just another thing for malcontent supporters to whinge about because things aren't going right.

Glad the Lions supporters have voted down the Paddle Pop jumper.

If you miss it i am sure we can find one on ebay for you.

They will be cheap.

Very, very different situations.

With the Fitzroy-Brisbane merge, and the heritage that was lost, there was extreme significance in the design of the lion, which was lost when the board made that change.

[Machsy 2,858]

It seems like that heritage all they have and they are desperately clinging onto it in the absence of being competitive.

It really was a small change to update the Lion's face and make it more engaging.

Perhaps it could have been done better than the cartoon effort they created.

I really think people need to consider that while they are stuck in the past and it suits them, it's not necessarily better for the club in their efforts to attract new members who have no existing strong relationship with aspects of the past.

I'm sure if they were still kicking, there'd be some who would be lamenting our red & blue home strip, having abondoned our heritage as the invincible whites.

you do realise that was briefly in the 1860s?

shortly after australia was new holland and tasmania was van diemans land

bringing up such ancient history is not too relevant to modern times

we may as well gsuppose

I think the original tinkering of their jumper is the 'fiddling while Rome burns,' not this rejection by the members.

The jumper looks terrible and why you would change the strip so soon after The Threepeat I will never know.

History is not black and white and it can serve many different arguments. Our link to the red and the blue is long and profound, but it doesn't mean white means nothing to us, our club was 70 years old before we were called The Demons but it something that is a vital appendage of the club.

The Lions club admin screwed up the jumper, the members have rejected it and have demanded a return to the old one - and that's the end of it.

Now they can get back to figuring out why their young players are now in the four corners of the country and not in Brisbane.

I do know all of that.

But it's picking and choosing in my opinion.

If we win a flag I would be more than happy to put the stars back.

the Paddle Pop lion was more than a small change.

It was the deleting of anything Fitzroy that was left.

But keep digging...

You're right about it not being a small change but let's not overstate the 'deleting of anything Fitzroy had left' - they were the Fitzroy Lions after all...

[Hulett Packard III 166]

How does the presence of stars or other symbols on the back of a team's jumper end up adversely affecting its performance?

Who gives a rats about that anyway?

[Sir Why You Little 37,052]

the Paddle Pop logo had nothing to do with the Fitzroy Lions.

The 3peat Lion pays respect at least.

[Machsy 2,858]

WYL, you could trademark taking a discussion and turning it into an absolute farce with your illogical and ignorant claims.

It's embarrassing to be involved in any discussion with you, so I'm going to stop right... here.

Great. Stick to that pledge please.

[biggestred 5,108]

Someone is bound to ask

the Normal and reversed jumpers. I quickly deepened the yoke of the reverse to closer match.. its a bit rough, apologies

Bump

Can we please just have this?

Tell the afl to go and get stuffed.

This would fix almost all of our clashes.
