what is wrong with the bay jumper ?

[am Bays]

FWIW I agree with you Wedgie about having a smaller sponsors logo over the right breast a la the AFL is the prefered option IMHO

However I prefer our current design



to the blue and white sponsors logo shown above in Dutchy's post that cuts across out gold sash. Also compared to last year we have the one colour on the back and only one sponsor GLIDEROL



where as last year we had two sponsor on the back one above and below the number.



Personally what I like about our guernsey this year is that apart from the SANFL logo and the small stilwell ford logo we only have two clours on it black and gold and integrity of the sash has been preserved i.e. nothing horizontal over it.


Seriously Wedgie is this better than ours? When where the red of your guernsey is suspposed be (to distinguish the V) you have to have a white background around the Mistral logo?




That is what we were guilty of last year havng white and blue where it should have been gold and black.


In summary yes I'd like go back to what we had up to and including 1994 - sponsor over the right breast (we were one of the last clubs to put the sponsor over the middle of the guernsey) but his years version of our guernsey (inclusive of sponsors logos) is the best we've had IMO since 1994.

The back of the Bay guernsey looks better, that's not the issue. (Mind you on my laptop that photo makes it look brown )

And yes, the North guernsey does look better than the Glenelg one as the sponsor takes up about 10% of the front of the guernsey (as do most of the SANFL clubs) as oppoed to 90% like the Bays.
Still, good to see the guernsey that was around in the 80s is no longer in existence and has been completely disrespected, Punky can stop having nightmares now.

C'mon Wedgie, you can do better than that you and I both know that sponsors logo's can only take up a certain anount of space on the front according to legue rules.

Tell Punky not to fret we are quietly confident of giving him more nightmares following rivalry round on May 10.

Finally hands up all other SANFL clubs who got their major sponsor plugged on Adelaide's highest rating nightly news????

Graham Cornes understood it and Mc Dermott thought it was disgraceful. Interesting that Cornes understood it yet opposes strongly ovals being renamed for sponsorship reasons ??? I saw the Sturt v Bays trial game and I didnt notice it , unless they didnt have it then ?

Its certainly not over 90% of the guernsey and as stated matches in with colours of the bays. You have to move with the times , wasnt that long ago that North would have killed for extra cash and if a sponsor said I want to advertise on a prominent space of the jumper , that being the white V they would have jumped at it , probably still would if the money was right. I have to say though I think we have peaked with number of sponsors , I reckon Sturt has a bout 8 -9 on their jumper .


OK - Next will be something striking on the shorts or down the socks !! ALA Speedo. Think Im joking , not if the money is right.

What concerns me most about the last pic on p1 of this thread is that you:

a) know where to find those images, and/or
b) have them stored on your PC

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't like sponsorship on jumpers but admit it is a necessary evil, so if you have to have it, you must try to not allow it to interfere with the basic design of the jumper.

Although the sponsor's name dominates the Glenelg jumper, it hasn't altered the basic design, so therefore I don't really mind it at all.

[OCT]

To argue the rights and wrongs , you have to be consistent. I am lost on your position Wedgie.
Looks horrendous having a sponsors name go down the guernsey diagonally as well as taking up most of the front space.
Soon as I saw the team posters I almost vomitted.
The yellow sash looks wider now too but Im not sure if that's just an optical illusion or not since its been turned into an advertising banner.
IMHO its taken to another disagree disrespecting the actual football guernsey.
If North had a sponsor going up and down the Vee and made it wider to accomdate the sponsor I'd be calling for heads.

But across it ? Do you know their names Wedgie , start calling mate.



I didn't say its OK but North don't put a white background to their sponsors name and just blend it in with the jumper.



Yes they do , have a look at the previous photo , it is no longer a V .




The Glenelg jumper in the pic you show in that pic does look a hell of a lot better than the one at the minute though

But I thought you said you didn’t like white backgrounds ?

It looks better than the old one , that does override the jumper. Its not overtaking the logo though , that is the real thing you are playing for.

studley & earlier bone have had a scathing attack on the jumper, there will be a story on the channel 7 news tonight about it but i've been to the trials & to the 2 games we've played & you can not tell the difference in general play only when you see a player at close range, well at least glideroll will get a decent add out of it

Tell me your kidding bayman. The new bays jumper is as good as a horses ass. What about the heritage of the jumper, the pride taken in the black jumper with the gold sash. To have a sponsors name splashed straight down the sash is an absolute joke. The bays have sold their soul to the devil for a little cashola. All I can say is this Gliderol deal must worth a mint because they've got the name on both sides of the jumper. Darren Chandler you are a disgrace to yourself and your club. Bones has everyright to be pissed about it.

The Glenelg Football Club site has a link on SAFooty's home page mate, anyone can find it.

Also not hard to type "Glenelg" and "Guernsey" into google mate!

Oh, we're happy and we're gay.....

"GLIDEROL" Helping Glenelg fans close the door on another wasted season.

Gold Booney absolute gold.

[Rushby Hinds]

But seriously, why do North have an upside down A on the front of their jumper?

Because we're the opposite of Arseholes.

Now, stop trolling about North in a Glenelg thread.

bWAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This from a team that changes colours of jumpers more times then they have played finals in the last decade!

P.S. And sucked in to you for not realising what a sensational publicity stunt this has been for the Bays....


And also...

remind me again....


Which team had a special "one off' jumper 1 or 2 seasons ago as a thank you to their sponsors?

(But then the broadcast game on the ABC was changed to another match....)

Dick heads is a bit harsh mate!

Some of you blokes are ok!

Agree dickheads is a bit harsh and some of us are OK hence why we're the opposite of a derogatory term.
Now can we talk about a Glenelg jumper in a subject created by a Glenelg supporter?

EHL, lets come to an agreement we wont talk about coaches you don't talk about guernseys.....

By my calculations you've had more guernseys 10 (inclusive of heritage ones) than we've had coaches (9) since 1991....

In fact ours is so good if I'm very not mistaken the club you followed until September 1990 adopted our guernsey design in 1977.....

[Wedgie]

Is this where the yellow sash came from? Poor old JC would be rolling around in his tomb if he knew there was advertising on it now!

[Sojourner]

I dont suppose anyone that is complaining about the heritage of the Bays Guernsey being lost supports a side that has an "Away" Guernsey?......

Chris McDermott supports an away guernsey?

I agree with him, I reckon the predominately yellow guernsey which they won their first premiership in would be a fantastic way of respecting their heritage. If they had advertising starting at the bottom left of it and finishing at the top righ however I and I'd imagine most others would disagree though.

Anyway, what exactly would Glenelg having an Away guernsey that is a great recognition of their heritage from 1934 have to do with it?

Speaking of Bones, anyone that brought back the red guernsey for the white vee from that candy striped atrocity is an expert in guernseys IMHO.

Good enough for JC, good enough for me
