    It was commonly known that Puma was being dropped as the supplier. I'm sure I read it on RWO.

      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

        Best thing about the jumpers is the opera house silhouette. Iconic. Like the Swans themselves.

          A few questions here, will we be wearing this guernsey only against GC17? Or will it be for all Melbourne games? Or will it be for all away games? Or will it be for teams we clash with? The only other team we come close to clashing with it Stkilda.

            As cool as the clash jumper is, will we actually get to see it?

            I mean, who the hell do we clash with?

                We will almost certainly clash with GC when they come in, given that red seems to be one of their predominant colours (even accounting for the fact that their current TAC/VFL get up will likely change by the time they enter the AFL). I guess you could make an argument for wearing it against Melbourne too (I know not usually against, but I remember at the game in Canberra this year, with the rain and low-light, sometimes it was a touch difficult to follow who was who in congestion). St. Kida possibly, though now I'm really stretching it.

                  I'd like to see us wearing the clash jumper for all away games personally.
                  When do they go on sale?

                    I wouldn't be against that idea.

                      Personally, I think every team should have a home and away jumper, and wear them accordingly.

                        No, that's a bad idea. Adelaide's away guernsey is mostly red. Our home guernsey is mostly red. The only way you would be able to make that work would be to force clubs to have a dark home design and a light away design.

                        Rule should be - Home team wears whatever they want. Away team has to wear the strip that provides the maximum amount of contrast to the home team's choice.

                        I would argue that we should wear the white back against any team that has a reasonable amount of red in their home design (and I suppose maroon as well).

                        so that would be: Brisbane, St Kilda, Melbourne, Adelaide, Essendon. Going forward, probably GC17 as well.

                        177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                          it's effectively the club logo on the jumper, with a white back
                          looks great and is a bigger, bolder red V that we used to wear in decades past

                                I like the integration of the Opera House into our Swan. It anchors us here.

                                Anyone have a look at the other jumps for other clubs? The Geelong Away Cat face jumper is brilliant.
