Mariners playing strip- ACL and 09/10 season

[morrijo]

Spoke to a team owner of another club.

He is off to the Ivy bar tonight for the Annual dinner awards thingy

he told me that clubs had a choice not to have stripes on the back of the home strip.

he said they were given about 4 options.

This club went went for 1 colour.



Not much yellow on Home strip

used to be 80% yellow lucky to be 30%

They just want $$ from merchandising

Is this the best Rebock coul come up with.

The mock ups of designs on this site have been far better

First opinion was a bit of a shock, the pictures make it look very bland and unimaginative, much like a training kit.

However, went down and visited Mariners HQ and asked to have a look at the home strip. I must say it looks better in real life. It reminds me of the strips we wore Pre Season Cup V1, especially the away. It definitely needs some sponsors and logos to create a bit more appeal. Something to spice it up.

cheers for that

am waiting to see it in real life before i make a judgement

Same here.

I remember I hated the jersey we had now after I first saw pictures, but really liked it once I saw it in the flesh. Here's hoping this one's the same.

there's nothing actually wrong with that. the club's got a jersey that after a little while we'll be very used to and will become iconic and recognisably ours. it may be that all along they wanted it this way (navy, mariners... geddit?), but because of the white away kits rule and melbourne's colours it was impossible.

of course the club want $$$ from merchandise. that's football!

Reebok and the club together worked out what they wanted and this is the result, not everyone is going to like it but that's the way of the world. i doubt anyone at the club is going to slit their wrists because of a few unfavourable reactions, especially considering on the whole the reaction is pretty positive.

Tis a lot of fun messing about with the templates. Here's Barca style:

Nice work for being the closest.

Good stuff CCM, best looking shirts the A-League has ever seen (apart from the Big-V, of course)

 

[Guns of Melbourne]

For the away strip i would have liked our original shirt back with blue trim replacing the white trim......wouldnt mind the player back either

Well you can't have him back. He's home and where he belongs ;D

Besides, you got that sooky kent Caceras. Isn't that enough for you?

without being too much different, i do think that this barca design looks much much better due to the sleeves not being a solid colour and bit more yellow

p.s how about a cash + player deal for tommy?

 

[Guns of Melbourne]

The only player I would take would be Matt Simon, but we don't need him with Archie, Allsopp & Fabiano all sticking around next season.

Maybe Boogs, but there would have to be a lot of cash involved ;D

 

[Andy]

+1 on both points Keensy

how about D'Apuzzo + the knowledge that we would be forever thankful??? it's my final offer

yeah, we'd be asking a fair bit.

why not greg owens? i'm sure melbourne supporters have warm memories of watching him at left back? ;D

 

[soundsdifferent]

i love the new shirts/kits!!!!!

sorry for writting jerseys.

 

[Paolo]

i love the new shirts/kits!!!!!

fixed for you. Footballers don't wear 'jerseys'

 

[Arabmariner]

mid 90s fashion for enormous shorts is back.

They were only copying the fashion from the pre war years.

i like mine better.

so do i

Me too.

Those shirts are horrible.Ah well another couple of years for the old V1 shirt.

Mine has no logo's or badges left...... It's literally just a colored jersey.

My daughters one is the same.I just asked her which of the new ones she wanted and she said she doesn't want one "cos they're horrible".............. ???

I think they should redesign the shirts and not waste so much material on the long johns!!

 

[Redline]

Wilko looks like he's wearing an OHS Hi Viz safety vest tbh.

I'm not a fan, and I agree with the best and less call on the away strip...and the white shorts looks out of place.

unsure how a prodominently navy shirt can look like a hi viz vest???

 

[Paolo]

sigh, this kit could have been so much better

 

[Redline]

IMO One strip should be highly-contrasting colours (yellow + navy) and the other must be a plain/solid colour, different to the dominant colour of the contrasting strip (eg. all yellow shirt+socks+shorts).

If our new home strip clashes with Wellington, then yellow shirt/dark shorts woulnd't be much better.

On another note this is a great move by the club/FFA, as I'm actually considering whether I would buy both shirts. I'm sure plenty more people would be thinking this compared to when every club had virtually the same away strip.

+1 for all of that.

The strips will look a lot less like training kit when they are adorned with club/competition ensignias and sponsors.

I look forward to off-centre club badge.

2 bright yellow stripes on the outside. When  wear one over my black work shirt, looks very similar to that.
