maybe they are, i've just been looking online at the den
just don't wanna go in if there ain't any new onfield stuff
Still think that a better reverse guernsey and perhaps pre-season guernsey is the old WA State of Origin jumper. Change the gold of the WA jumper to yellow and there you go. Looks great.
Another point, in major soccer comps, teams play pre-season games in either their traditional or alternate strip. Let's do the same once we develop an agreed (and stylish) alternate. Without exception for our club and all other AFL clubs, the alternate jumpers look inferior to the traditional jumpers (except Freo and Ports that always look average
)

There were a few guys wearing the #32 jumper at the game against Freo with the new *smile* Smith logo on the front, but no sponsor on the back.

I've said this before in a previous post but why don't we wear the vertical black and yellow stripes (yes I know everyone says it's like Hawthorn) but the fact is it is our heritage being the first guernsey we played in from when the club was formed and when we joined the VFL. The yellow sash wasn't adopted until 1919. So that way we have a guernsey with heritage.

IMO, we have the best set of jumpers in the AFL (not biased at all)
Our normal jumper is beautiful and stirs emotions deep inside every time I see it.
Our clash jumper look great as it basically maintains the normal jumper but with a bit more yellow so doesn't destroy the integrity of the jumper. The bummers could have done the same but rolled out that hideous fat stripe.
Our pre season jumper is not offensive in any way, maintains the core black jumper with yellow stripes (or claws in this case) and has the fearsome tiger head on it. It looks interesting, fresh and (in a way) exciting and for a few weeks early in the year I am more than happy to wear it.
Well done to the club for getting it right where most clubs get it completely wrong.
BTW, the club sold 50 signed Ben Cousins jumpers at the Perth supporter function so fair to say the little fella is popular

And I don't think I'll ever get over what the Blooz did to us in our heritage game last year, and the jumper only added to the pain :-[

ToO...I'm sorry to say that I think those are last year's jumpers with Luxbet logo patched on. This photo was taken at the time of the Luxbet announcement so they wouldn't have had the new jumpers ready by then. I reckon the jumpers from family day with no black outline are this year's model :-\
