What is the reason for the jumpers worn today?

[jackaub 1,402]

Loved the jumper, they looked powerfull and proud 

Well done MFC

To me it looked like one mum would make a kid when she couldn’t afford to buy a proper one.

Gee..a little unkind..lol. The design harks back to a much simpler era.

But as you say... I wonder who among us here actually had their mum knit them a jumper. Mine did when I was a lil tacker. There was no shame. Many of us had knitted jumpers The best ones were Red and Blue of course. Some interesting shades of blue though....often what was on special at the Haberdasher's

The jumper was fine, but this year we have worn the following jumpers:

• Traditional
• Redback
• Retro blue clash
• Indigenous
• Anzac Day (which is basically our traditional)
• BCNA
• Heritage one

That's a lot of different jumpers in one year.

I suspect our bottom line will be very healthy after the season and the above will be helping it.

Hey, as a kid I never had a “proper” jumper. ? Even as an adult, when I was a Fitzroy supporter my wife knitted me a scarf with three different shades of blue (she refused to waste wool). I wore it with pride.

2000's definition of knitting...Knit one purl one, knit one purl - AND cast off...

ANZAC day and BCNA are really variants of the traditional jumper and for a good cause, so I support them.

I'd try to combine the clash jumpers - red and retro blue - with any Indigenous or Heritage efforts.

But at the same time I understand these heritage jumpers were $300 a pop to get your names on them. Even if there's only 50 people who paid up that's 15,000. Not a bad little earner.

I had a few bundles to settle the nerves so could be possible. 

Is this a joke? Honestly can't tell.

I quite liked it. A good old fashioned footy jumper that  gave a big nod to our heritage.

Thank God we have moved from that heritage.

It is now the 21st century not the 19th.

Sorry bb should have been close.

However perhaps a losing third last in the likability forum is accurate.

On TV, looked like Essendon, go back to the brighter blue. 

At the game, it was fine. 

A Geelong mate said we looked good, its not a beauty contest we want to win.

Reminds me of the advertising competition between BMW and Audi in 2006. Then Subaru chimed in with engine of the year. And Bentley outdoes them all.

I think blinkybill is 100% accurate bb.

EPL clubs make a mint selling jumpers. If people are buying them and they don’t look like Carlton’s grey thing, who cares. 

[Rogue 585]

I find it ironic that in 'member appreciation round' we wore this strip.

I'm pretty sure most members prefer our normal jumper.
