News Lions kits and supporter gear discussion

[Nickimus Rex]

I too refuse to follow the woke sheep. For example, Woolworths stopped selling plastic flags and I made a completely independent choice to get mad about it.

Well, you're in luck. I just started a company that only sells small plastic flags to non-sheep.

Watching the game on TV on Thursday night, did anyone else think the maroon in our guernsey's looked much deeper/darker than previously?

The darker the better

I thought it looked more purple

If the club insists on using "BL", then the small logo on the front is fine, but they should've gone with the old Lion with "BBFFC" under it on the back.

I'm a fan of us using the Fitzroy Lion on all of our gear

Ya, same. I want the club to get rid of the disembodied head logo and design a new club logo with the old Lion. And incorporate the "BBFFC".

We are a club in a unique position and keeping the old symbols but updating them very slightly (the "BBFFC" part) pays homage to both the roys & the Bears in just the right balance.

Would love an updated version of this logo similar to Melbourne & Port Adelaide's shield logos.

All my supporter gear is in tatters because I refuse to pay for anything with the paddlepop on it.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I have no idea why we aren't using the iconic passant Lion as our logo in all supporter gear, by itself it is clearly superior to some random BL.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

The darker the better

I disagree. To me, the most pleasing maroon colour is from the 1992-96 Bears guernsey.

Is that even maroon?

Agree, I only buy merchandise with the passant Lion logo, recently bought the latest cap.

The marketing department think the lolly pop lion and the BL are chic for some reason.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Is that even maroon?

Yep, just a lighter shade.

I recall years ago we wore think a Fitzroy inspired jumper years ago and the maroon on it was really dark and it’s probably my favourite maroon that’s been used. From my perception,some of the maroons we’ve used are close to dark pink / purple or a redder matron if that makes sense but I think the darker maroon is the way to go.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

It's closer to the cerise! I miss cerise in our kits

 

[BangyBangy]

Is that even maroon?

Looks more scarlet, ruby, oxblood, crimson, or burgandy to me.

Interesting to hear in the media today that with the likes of Saints, Dockers, Eagles and a couple of other teams wearing different retro / heritage jumpers in Gather Round that there is already a push for all clubs to sport their heritage jumpers - a concept I always liked- for all future Gather Rounds. I’d love to see us roll with alternating Bears and Fitzroy jumpers or even hell one of the old Lions jumpers - just not the paddlepop jumper - the white one with the yellow stain on the side lol

The North game would of been perfect to wear this guernsey inspired by the Fitzroy Gorillias jumper with the Lion instead of the monogram.

We should have this as our Fitzroy clash guernsey. I know it’s darker for an away kit but it doesn’t clash with most teams in Victoria.

Haha yeah it's not heard a lot. The roar have a different sort of Lion, I think it's called "rampant"

I know what it is and even I still keep misreading it as pissant.
