    Jumper change proposal

    Names on jumpers - test at Easter this year

    Will the Swan Shop provide retrospective lettering so that all the Ben Matthews fans can distinguish themselves from Plugger and Dannebery fans ?

    I think I like the idea, mainly for helping me with opposition players.
    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

      It'll help the commentators get the names right too! ... at least the last names anyway ...

          Booooo.

          No.

          Just my opinion. Even as an NBA fan where names occur for just 10 on the court.

          I think the TV coverage needs to go back to basics, more player info on set shots, free kicks, marks. Stats, games played etc. They rarely do this these days.

              Leroy and Ben will still play for us. And Kieren will move so fast he will kick to himself and score goals over and over again. Hmmm, sometimes he does that already!

                  As will Mark and Heath! Maybe Jonathan too, if he gets to make his debut.

                      This is what makes it a winner for me.

                          Sounds like a good idea to me.

                              As a player at another club said, He would be proud to have his family's name on his jumper. Not just for the fans then...

                                  Anything that allows me to mute Brian Taylor and still be able to identify players is a winner in my book.

                                      What will they do if LRT plays that game?
                                      Abbreviation? Word wrap (so his name ends on the front of his jumper? Or just drop the font so it'll fit on the jumper but become illegible?

                                              I find that when I mute Taylor I can identify the players correctly.
