Jets RAAF Jersey.jpg
Hope the picture worked. Not sure how I feel about this one. Good cause and decent shirt but looking like Sydney on the field is probably not the greatest of ideas. I'm a jersey hoarder so will probably end up buying one. Could have been worse. I can think of a certain tower at Queens Wharf that they could have put on a jersey.
The colour is obviously a tribute to the puddle.
What a player he was.
what is the cause? it better be fantastic cause the jersey is garbage.
Vomit, Alls missing is the bits of carrot.
this isn't the hat i asked for
RAAF Recognition Round. Would imagine they'll be trying to raise funds for the RAAF Base and have read that 3000 free passes will be sent to the base for RAAF personnel and their families. I don't mind the sentiment but making a jersey for it seems a bit overboard. Like when the Knights wear the mining jersey that has no connection with their club's colours whatsoever.Originally Posted by belchardo
Without meaning to offend anyone too much, why the **** is the club raising funds for ADF personnel? I can't think of any community* for whom more government services and funds are made available.
* On reflection, the communities of multinationals and of mining companies do pretty well, too.
I think it's more trying to tie in the club with it's namesake. I must add I can't be certain there'll be fundraising. Just my initial thought. Mostly it'll be a bit of added entertainment for kids with the jets flying over and all that.
exercise in building club identity. anything to take us more down the "we are the jets" path and away from "we are not the knights" is good imo.
shirt is not something ill be rushing out to buy though.
Knights get paid to wear those (in a roundabout way).
American sports is full of the defence force paying sporting teams to promote 'salute to service' rounds.
Hopefully the Jets are sponging some of that defence budget.
I was half expecting the air force jersey to be a blueish grey camo design. I think the jets print is a bit of a let down and looks a little cheap.
awful scenes
We are the Jets - and Mitchell Murphy was astounded when he arrived that we had no formal relationship with the RAAF base that the club is supposedly named after.
Its not fundraising, its recognising those in this particular branch of the ADF which is a major part of this town.
And apparently there is a RAAF base in Brissy which is why they picked this particular round to use as the commemoration.
As far as the jersey goes, I dont mind it. And its a bloody one-off people. Its not like we have to play in a jersey with an effing palm tree on it for the entire season.

Anyone who doesn't think Top Gun was an all time classic is a bum
calm down its not like its a shitney fc type, oh wait.... I feel a toxic waste coming on, carn Jets
putting a camo design on the jersey doesnt make it unique to the RAAF does it? so the idea was to put Hornets flying in formation on the jersey. I think it looks sick, ther grey colour accurately reflects the colour of Hornets themselves, the blue trim coould be better but the plan is to make this an annual thing, with the jersey being updated every year
Jaliens gives me the horn
Hornets dont technically dump and burn, they can however put Afterburners on, which looks hell at any stage of a day.
Seriously what did you honestly expect the jersey to be a shitty camo design that all sporting teams do? BORING. Jets in formation look much better
Jaliens gives me the horn
I just wanna see flames, and I hope they parachute drop care packages of hats in the shape of jets on the stadium.
Make it rain.
