Westies 2-in-1 jumper for 2013

[SDK]

North don't need a second strip because it clashes with no one and is a very good jumper anyway. Always liked the North jumper, very colourful looks great. Second best jumper in the country.

[The Dark Knight]

Effective clash, with same jumper design, just reverse the traditional club colours.

It makes you wonder why every club (AFL included) can't do this.

Because it would be too easy.

[The Apostle]

Maybe with the money they save with this jumper they can buy a decent game plan instead of the shit brand of footy they've dished up the last few years...

[The Sleeping Giant]

If it saves the club money, I am all for it. The club thinks that if it works, most other clubs will be using it next year. Could save the club upto $10,000 this year.

Most kids who go to the SANFL these days only have one jumper rather than both a home and an away jumper.


SDK the numbers are printed so no problem with the stitched in number

$10,000? Have they been getting gold stitching done?

[Brodlach]

Yep, four teams, two jumpers per number, talking around 250 jumpers

[The Sleeping Giant]

250 would be a very high estimate. Juniors wouldn't have clash jumpers. I'd say 150 at most. Don't forget, the new jumper will cost more.

You might be right but I am sure our juniors wore the clash jumper in games last season

That's also why I said "upto $10,000".

Anyone know what the jumpers cost the club? I estimated about $40

[The Sleeping Giant]

Probably $40 - $50.

Which kids had to have two jumpers (home and away) 10, 20 or even 30 years ago?

[The Sleeping Giant]

We don't even need clash jumpers.

[SDK]

Agree.
Did we have clash jumpers in this years GF ?
Clash jumpers is an AFL marketing bs tool. We don't need it in the SANFL. All clash jumpers look like shit with maybe the exception of South Adelaide.

I prefer Norths clash guernsey to the home one. Love the white with the red vee and reminds me of a lot of the pics taken of Ken Farmer in the same guernsey. Having said that the home one is improving in 2013.
2 in 1 guernsey is a great idea for kids teams and a great saving for Fans that like to buy one of each, would mean less money spent on merchandise but probably wont impact much on West as you dont see a lot of their guernseys on fans with a relatively small older based supporter group.
Be handy for people like me that always spill something or have TSG laughing beer all over me early in the day as you could just turn the thing inside out! I want one!

[CENTURION]

do the players think we need clash jumpers?

[CENTURION]

personally, I'd rather wear a Specials or Madness jumper.

Was that on your white indigenous nt jumper?

Yep. You bloody racist!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Hey. I chipped in and helped buy your mate one.

[Booney]

Bit uncomfortable with the numbers and logos rubbing against your skin ? Just make sure it is a decent bright red not the washed out thing of the past .... same red Norwood and Melbourne use. Hate it ! Is it the material that won't allow for a BRIGHT red ?

Depends on the print I guess.

Good idea IMO. I would think Westies would not seel too many guernseys in a season to fans, but, if the cost for them to manufacture is not much more and a fan gets two guernseys for the price (?) of one they may be more inclined to buy one.

[Barto]

The Bloods' on-field apparel provider VIVSports has provided the club with a nifty dollar saver for 2013... a reversible jumper! Turn the predominantly black jumper inside out and it becomes a clash strip, with the colours reversed. Rather clever, eh?

Not good from a marketing point of view - since the fans only have to buy 1 guernsey, not 2

Not if the reversible is only available to the playing group.

Numbers and logos aren't usually sown or ironed on these days. They're actually part of the print.

The only issue would be if a club changes or adds a sponsor mid season.
