Gonna let that slide and the first shot at a rivalry with a new team ;) Did you honestly think that the jumper would be anything different?  

I just signed up as a foundation member for the 6 members of my family. The order number was approximately #13700 I think. Most of the people on the AFL facebook site that supports the team and stadium are buying between 2-4 memberships.  Its possible that there are 25k-30k foundation members signed up for this team inside of 35 minutes. Sure it's not a full membership for games etc, but if it says anything about a team and stadium and interest in a Tasmanian team. 

Edit: as of 8pm, the foundation member order numbers are over 19k. Given each have multiple memberships, there is a chance of 40k - 50k members signing up tonight.

Keep trolling, you might get someone who actually finds you amusing.

It's named after the animal.  Not the religious devil.

and why do you think it was named a devil?

hint: not because it was cute and cuddly

Is there a clash/away variant of the jumper?

yep, they haven't announced them but not sure how many teams the green will clash with, it's more a dark and light strip I suspect.

It would clash with our navy jumper at night. Would need either a red on green variation or a light green variation.

Could be mainly yellow with red and green, or white with the other 3 colors, thinking of the Jackjumpers, and thats how they have gone.

I agree the green would clash with MFC, Carlton and possibly a few others

If I was picking the colour of a football jumper, the last colour I would pick is......green.

Why? It matches the grass .

I would pick the colour(s) that make it easiest to spot a teammate...not the hardest.Did they consult an optometrist ?

Maybe fluro.? Maybe a bridge too far .

Makes no difference.  There are two devils.  The religious one and the animal one.  Tasmania has chosen the animal.  This will be my final comment.

Surely the jumper they were wearing today is a joke? The colours, a map of tassie and that “T”. Any design, any design and colours.. and they went with that?

Please oh Please let the marketers get ahead of the game and have the Dees and Devils play during Dark Mofo every year. 

Red lighting around the ground, fire 🔥, make it absolute spectacle 

 

Would be EPIC

They’ve just cracked 50,000 members within 3 hours of being announced! Their stated goal was 40,000 by October.

A proper football state finally getting their own team. So much better for the competition than soulless franchises like GWS and GC. I wish them well.

I'm all for Tasmania having a team .Good numbers but they are $10 memberships.

I think they will be a great addition to the comp and probably be about of peoples "2nd" team. That jumper though is seriously rubbish . Giants showed how you can create a modern jumper that will hold up for decades to come. Logo looks good

I would have liked a full rebrand and kept that jumper and name for state football history but if this is what they think will work then go for it.

exactly

i don't mind the logo personally, nor the name particularly (although the lack of n is just odd)

but the state jumper? should've been a no-no

60k as of 45 min ago.

I’m hearing that the jumper is a foundation jumper, so those who don’t like the designs ,it might change.

Agree they are not actual memberships, but it’s indicative of the support this team will have.

Btw GWS and GC will get the rub of the green this season, both already 2-0. The AFL must be salivating at the idea of their 2 experimental clubs to be contenders in September.

27 years? Wasn’t that when port came into the comp?

GWS and GC were around 2010?

point is still valid tho I guess!

I'm delighted that Tassy have an AFL team.

However, the guernsey is a shocker. The final designs will be different, surely.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
