2018 Rd 16: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs St Kilda

[kruddler]

Is publicly supporting the fight against breast cancer nonsense?

What does Roughead think about supporting the fight against a cancer with a pink striped jumper?

You do know some of our most loathed one off alternative jumpers that while promoting a corporation had a charitable cause attached. The changing of the jumper typically has a requirement for charity attached before the AFL grants a permit to have the jumper changed. They would not approved the special alternatives strips without the attached charitable cause. Clubs have no choice in this, they signed the rights to logos and jumpers over the the AFL many years ago because individual clubs are just not big enough to defend the trademarks.

Do your eyes work?

Its not about the charity, its about the design and the colour clash it brings.

Freddy Kreuger was chosen to wear a red and green striped jumper (Geelong horizontal style) because the writer/director Wes Craven read a study about the 2 colours being seen against eachother making people uncomfortable. There is some kids saying that says similar about 'red and green should not be seen together unless there is a colour inbetween' or something like that.
Simply the mere appearance of those colours together gets you off-side.

Its similar to that jumper.

That doesn't mean you can't find a jumper that represents the same thing.
Brisbane have similar colours and managed to find a good comprimise for their AFLW jumper. Hawks could do similar with their white jumper with a hawk on it.


Funnily enough i suggested years ago that we have the best jumper for the cause as we can use an all pink alternative with the CFC monogram and still be instantly recognisable.



So don't bring 'the cause' into this. Focus on the product being presented.
I don't think our saints clash jumper is half as bad as people make out.
Most people opposed to it are opposed to the idea and will use the argument no matter what we come up with.
