2017 Clash Guernsey

[hemingway 7,633]

If this is the new clash jumper its a shocker. By why should we be surprised.

Business and the market place prevails. The trump stone.

Merchandising and branding wins every time over good design and good taste.

I have to say that I have disliked the new logo from day one. Okay as a logo on a mug, glass or coffee cup but no much else.

About the same OD. Not better

Any design that wanders from our colours (Red and Blue) is a fail in my book and a mockery of our heritage.

Within red and blue its hardly a stretch to create an amazing jumper that doesn't clash.

I agree.  (I'm one of the seemingly minority who really liked the old one -- was classy, and full of meaning.  But, I concede I'm in the minority on most things!  LOL)

Yes, I am also in the group that liked the old demon logo. However, this is my supporter bias and the importance of tradition and linking with the past.

These decisions are not based on the whims or views of supporters.

Phew!  So, it's not just me?!!  Thanks, Daisy!  When I see it, I see squirrels!

I do not understand why we dont just have an inverted clash strip, predominantly red with the blue V?

I do not hate the new one but I do not love it either, was the same feeling with all out clash jumpers.

FFS I maintain if Gold Coast can wear red against sides who have dark coloured jumpers I see no reason why we can't wear red with a blue yoke, white shorts and red socks.  We are red & blue

[PaulRB 6,422]

It’s a grand old flag
It’s a high flying flag
It’s the emblem for me and for you
It’s the emblem of the team we love
The team of the Red and the Blue
Ev’ry heart beats true
For the Red and the Blue
And we sing this song to you (What do we sing!)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue

Unfortunately, the sponsors and corporates don't know the words.

That is deadset the worst thing i have ever laid eyes on.

It is worse than that grey thing we wore.

It makes me want to puke.

You are missing one important item PSD.

GCS are one of the love children and  the MFC have no power and don't matter.

Sadly you are trapped in a by gone age RB.

In the 21st Century all that matters for little, it is all about the money.

here are some alternatives i have saved over the years from places like here and big footy.

no reason we couldnt be in any of these - or even have 3 (blue/red/white)

i feel sick

this has actually turned me off the AFL in a big way

ffs

158 years and we have to wear THAT next year? jfc

 

[DeeZee 7,445]

I do like the new logo and shield but it looks terrible on a white back ground jumper.

Will the club ever get the away Guernsey right?

Losing plenty of sales over years

Yet another fail.

[daisycutter 29,795]

well this one is predominantly red

 

2016

Grey Clash/Heritage jumper changed to Red

Mate why even put up anything that  has Red background. You know that  it has to be a white back ground.

Absolutely nothing every be as bad of those.

First point is it was created by a management that will go down as the worst in our 158 year history.

We Demonlanders are a masochistic bunch, aren't we?  Keep banging our heads against a brick wall and wailing against this same injustice every year!  Do we really think anyone in power actually gives a rats about what we think...??
