    Re: Gold Coast Suns Viability - How Long Have They Got?

    Credit to Dew. Quite often when the media speculation starts, the coach can lose the team or the plot - or both. He's on 360 a fair bit and has been pretty laid back, even joking about his situation and Clarko being available a few times, and I guess it's that kind of personality/confidence/attitude that (hopefully) Suns players like. If he can keep the squad together they'll be formidable next year with King back and another year into some of those kids. If they can get another trade period where they land quality like Chol and Casbolt for very little, then all the better.

    I like Dew. I want the Suns to do well and for footy to really take a bigger foothold here in QLD.

    As an aside, my brother went to GWS v Hawks on Sunday. It was wet, very wet, and there were only 4,812 people there. Success in these non-footy states is so important for crowds to come. They don't have the die hard fans yet. That'll take 20 years. It's not inconceivable that if GWS have a couple of down years, all the questions being asked about Suns viability will be more squarely focussed on GWS.

    If I was going to design a new jumper to replace the most boring jumper in the comp, I’m not sure I could do worse than this. I hope it looks better on field.

    A plain red kit and a West Coast kit. Very strange choices.



    They also seem to have ripped off the Erebus Motorsport logo.

    A light red logo on a dark red background is a terrible decision. We’ve had better training tops.

    I like the colours.

    But they feel like training guernseys, or basketball singlets.

    The red, yellow and blue they've chosen would look great in hoops like us, stripes, chevrons...plenty of options. That red has a gradient which will age poorly, and while the new S logo looks good on its own/on merch, it shouldn't be in the middle of the jumper.

    I like the red one. Stealth red. Cool!

    Surely yellow would have been a more logical choice because, you know, the sun.

    There is almost zero contrast even close up. From afar it is going to look like a pub team that had to turn their shirts inside out because there was a clash and nobody brought the mothballed alternate kit.
