AFLW Pride Guernsey

[#11-TonyAnderson 860]

I think the design is brilliant https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1048431/melbourne-launches-inaugural-pride-guernsey - keeps our traditional colours an weaves the Pride colours in too.

Am fascinated to see what it looks like from the back.

Looks great. Seems to have a few triggered on the socials which is a bonus.

My feeling is that your comment will be a foreboding of events to come in this thread....

I know people get a bit antsy about the Afl and causes for want of a better word.

However this and mental health are definitely worth rallying around. And so often these two things are sadly connected.The suicide rate in Oz is becoming a national tragedy. 

Reach out anyone, I beg you if you are struggling.

I like it. Blends naturally with our traditional colors...as opposed to this shocker from the doggies

That looks like the bodysuits they were wearing in Tron! They just need one of those goofy bike helmets to add to it.

I love, love, love it. I would buy it for my daughter and myself for us to wear to most games - AFLW and mens. Does anyone know if we're selling it? Can't see anything in the Demons shop. And hopefully we make it in mens size.

I've seen a few people asking on socials, so hopefully someone will be able to answer.

Definitely one of the nicer guernseys I've seen for this round. Carlton had a shocker the other year that looked some rainbow coloured sick running out from the bottom right hand corner of their CFC logo.

This is actually quite useful as I happen to be calibrating an old CRT TV at the moment...

Dees AFLW pride jumper is outstanding.  Great work Dees. 

[Webber 10,586]

Great design. Imagine how good it would be without all the logos/advertising…

Gotta love the number 14 Lily Mithen.  She’s a dynamo both on field as she plays with great intensity but also her fun vibrant fast thinking personality off field.  Daisy. Lily. Libby. Such great teammates and leaders for this Dees team.

Totally agree  NS and think that the Pride guernsey is fantastic in design and colour. Also in its meaning.

Magnificent and totally blows the Pies token effort to bits.

It's a ripper, isn't it! (would have been even nicer if the colour transitioning in the numbers had matched the subtlety of the yoke's).

Men's shape, too, Allus? I think the women's guernsey has a gathered(?) waist and flare(?) over the hips? (not such a prob, though, if you'll be wearing it Zanker-style!😉

I noticed, in the club site vid about the guernsey, that the girls, and Stinear, were at pains to tell it is for diversity of all sorts, not just in sexuality and gender (indeed, the lack of reference to LGBTQI+ - save for the appreciation of the Ruby Demons - was noticeable). I'm not well versed in these things: does the rainbow's embrace extend beyond those letters (and their '+')?

It looks great. Big red, small orange, yellow, green, Big blue, small indigo & violet at the bottom. I want one, but they're not in the shop yet

Maybe its an homage to the tyre tracks that were left on the doggies as we ran over them in the granny

Just saw that the Pies have theirs on sale so checked if happening for ours too - unfortunately, doesn't look like it.

There's are tshirts available at Cotton On though, not nearly as nice!

Would you seriously consider the Pies jumper in the same category as Ours?

Very underwhelming on the front makes a joke of  the Effort IMO. 

[Roger Mellie 4,173]

Great jumper but I found the numbers hard to see clearly. That minor issue might need a little work

I didn’t really consider it given it’s a Pies jumper. Always looks ugly to me! But at least they’re selling them…

Religion huh…. Not much pride in that.

It's understandable, being the year 1022 and all... oh wait 🤔
