Redesigning the WAFL

[@taimarg]

Fun fact the “flying eagle” was based around the shape of the west Australia

[@mattn1]

Wow, didn’t know that

[@murrayeastaugh4566]

Doesn’t look like that

[@BDub2024]

@@mattn1 yeh they stuffed up the ochre jumper. Eagles away jumper. great idea to get the ochre in as an alternative with map of WA and red dirt of the pilbara. But they stuffed up the implementation especially at back of jumper which banished ochre into the bins of history. unfortunate,

[@TrueFootyAFL]

This is cool. Love that Claremont one.

[@mattn1]

Yeah it’s definitely one of my favourites

[@murrayeastaugh4566]

Hey true footy love your vids

Awesome video, would love to see a SANFL one

Yep that could be interesting 👍🏻

My dad won a best and fairest playing for Perth demons. That Guernsey is awesome

[@BDub2024]

My criticism with East Freo's jumper is that the white panel needs to be wider. Not as wide as currently. But it ensures that the jumper looks different to EP and others. Also ensures it looks good with white shorts. The famous blue socks with top white bit is classic East Freo.

[@kdstudios9718]

Nice video. I would like to see clash jumpers in the WAFL to be honest. Worked for Claremont so it should work for most other teams. Maybe you should a video on the future of the WAFL (and the other state leagues) and whether it should be restructured or not.

[@mattn1]

Yeah they definitely need clash jumpers, it gets a bit ridiculous sometimes

[@mikespearwood3914]

Claremont & Subi both had inverse clash colour jumpers but don't use them now.

[@mattn1]

That’s ridiculous, every WAFL team really needs a clash jumper

[@mikespearwood3914]

@@mattn1 Yep, I even think a few of the SANFL clubs have clash jerseys now. There's the same inherent problems throughout the AFL, WAFL & SANFL: too many similar black & navy blue jerseys.

[@douglasmace7703]

As a sharks fan myself,(my Dad won the 1973 Chesson medal at EFFC) my personal fav jumper is the 80’s and early 90’s jumper.

[@JC-my8dj]

The Peel jumper looks similar to their old jumper in the early 10’s

[@mattn1]

Yeah, I looked through some of their old jumpers for inspiration, it’s kind of a combination of their old lightning bolt jumper and their current one

[@tans48uwa]

Wow, they are all fantastic! Well done mate! (from a fellow Dockers supporter)

[@emorejhockey3082]

Your Peel Thunder jumper is actually the original jumper they had when they first came into the WAFL

[@spencerrobertson4275]

Some of these would work well as clash jumpers alongside the traditional home jumpers, I like it.

[@mattn1]

Yeah they definitely need some clash jumpers in the WAFL

[@BDub2024]

East Perth looks like Intermilan. One option is to go back into history. Go for the black V they wore in the 1930s. I remember seeing EP play before all the teams started wearing coloured shorts. EP in black shorts actually looks awesome. But I agree all blue is iconic too.

[@BDub2024]

Claremont just love the CFC and sash. I love the tiger design and more yellow is sensible and you wouldn't need to wear an alternative.

[@geoface1170]

hearing you say you're a dockers supporter made me so happy

[@mattn1]

👍🏻⚓️

[@ItzRobbie05]

4:59 i quite like what you have done with perth's jumper. also as a peel thunder supporter (as they are the dockers reserves) i quite like how you kinda went with a retro design shop.sekem.com.au/shop/detail/peel-thunder-home-sleeveless-men-replica-guernsey/. also if and when the Dockers WAFL Side come in would you still support just the Sharks or would Freo be your 2nd team?

[@mattn1]

Thanks mate, I definitely looked back through their history for inspiration when it came to peel, I’d support Freo as my 2nd team kinda like how peel are my 2nd favourite team now (although that was the case even before they were Freo reserves)

For the Swan Districts jumper, you could have done a Sydney Swans like design. Would have looked better

[@mattn1]

That’s true 👍🏻

Your a bloody sharks fan ahah darn the doggies

[@NickSamon]

Do a AFL one.

[@mattn1]

That could be fun

[@martinharrison2108]

great designs and are you going to do this for all state leagues or just the wafl

[@mattn1]

I’ll probably get to all of them, eventually

[@SonofthePhantom]

Nice work! Like the Sharks and Claremont redesign. Pity the former isn't the powerhouse it used to be.

[@mattn1]

Yeah those two turned out nice 👍🏻

[@-unactive-7240]

Love the Swan districts one

[@trainco1643]

In my opinion the Claremont, Subiaco and East Freo are the best although the Perth one looks cool too 👍

[@mattn1]

Yeah I like those ones as well 👍🏻

[@aussiegaming_0077]

You should make a run through video which gives us an insight into how you make these guernseys.

[@nathom1080]

Swan Districts was elite

[@mattn1]

I’m surprised so many people liked that one 😂

[@veselinboyadzhiev4724]

The Claremont guernsey is great!

[@mattn1]

👍🏻 thanks mate

[@davidstark134]

The sharks away jumper has far too much white, the home jumper looks good.the WAFL logo needs work. must have the EFFC logo in the middle.

[@rohcool323]

I had an idea for Swan district. You could do the north Ballarat Jumper (Black background with white yoke)

[@warntom]

Your East perth one looked like North Melbourne and Peel Thunder could be used by Port Power

[@mattn1]

Most peel stuff would work for port, they pretty much have the exact same brand 😂

[@collingwoodjb]

Can you do the predictions again this season

[@mattn1]

I’m hoping to but we’ll see, if the fixture changes it makes it pretty hard

Peel should move away from blue. More aqua or teal. Also white. Also early on didn't they wear orange. They need to differ from other clubs.

It’s definitely difficult trying to create better designs than what some teams currently have, but I will say they could all use proper clash jumpers
