Our Sash is Too Thick and Here's Why
Its been bugging me for some time. Yes, i know that the sash has at least been straightened but unfortuntely it remains too thick. Now I am not suggesting we return to the heritage jumper with the thin sash although to be honest I think it looks sensational. But a return to the same thickness as we had in the 90's would be acceptable
So why not?
Well here is the reason - the sash is being forced wider to accomodate commercial sponsor logos. Nothing more, nothing less. Thanks goodness we are not being sponsored by fashion label Jean Paul Gaultier (unless its for our clash jumper!)
Have a look at this photo - The Samsung blue border is provided with a near perfect fit on the red sash back ground
I guess sponsor interests are important but couldnt we have used a smaller font?

Re: Our Sash is Too Thick and Here's Why

Ahah,you've stumbled on to something.
The theory seems to coincide with our ever increasing injury list.
Samsung's the culprit.

Don't give a rats' arse.. it's what's under the jumper that counts.

Re: Our Sash is Too Thick and Here's Why
Another possible explanation for the increasing width could be that it helps avoid "clashes" with other clubs jumpers and thus eases the pressure on the club to produce a real clash jumper like some of the other hideous creations in existence (Carlton's baby blue m&m's jumper springs to mind).
All the extra red would provide more of a contrast against the likes of St Kilda, Richmond and Melbourne.

We are currently seeking a new naming right sponsor for season 2012.

Remember elastoplast sponsoring Carey? Played like a mummy untill he lost the sponsorship, then miraculously never needed it again!

I couldn't give an aviators intercourse how thick the sash is (within reason) as long as it's there, and red, and on a black background. If you're getting the ruler out for this one, maybe you need a new hobby
