I don't understand why most of them are different colours to the men. Almost all the teams colours are different shades than the mens (including ours). They make the jumpers look like cheap Dimmy's knock offs.
I'm just glad we didn't go down the path of Freo and include some irrelevant pink into the design, like it's 1950 and we have to differentiate from the boys with 'pink for girls'. It's kind of offensive.
The pink for the girls thing is very cliche, but i don't mind it on the Freo jumper.
I think most clubs are trying something different so that the jumpers are distinguishable from the male counterparts, that way,they sell more.
I think most of the jumpers were designed by the girls themselves. I know ours had some input from one of them, Vescio or Arnell i think.
Going back to the pink thing...
I've long been a fan of changing our jumper for a good cause, and i think our jumper can easily be changed while staying obvious to a viewer as to who is wearing it courtesy of the CFC monogram. That is, the 'baby blue' jumper and the Lance Armstrong 'live strong yellow' were, IMO, a positive change. Yes the traditionalists were up in arms blah blah. Anywho....i think there should be an 'all pink womens / breast cancer awareness' jumper that we were once a year in womens round.
I wouldn't want it for the womens team as i think they deserve to wear the navy blue, but i think pink has its place.
