Should the Hawthorn Football Club change the colours and design of there football jumpers ?

I have always supported the Hawks, but seriously there brown and gold playing strip ugh! Do you think the colours deter younger people from becoming supporters, I would like to see a playing strip similiar to the NRL wests tigers with a big aggresive claws out Hawk I realise this breaks tradition but I think its time to move on.


Your thoughts and comments please.

I've always kind of liked the Hawthorn strip with white shorts but not with either brown or gold shorts as they've tried a few times. It's also a strip with a proud tradition and I think we need to be careful of losing that from our game.





Yeah by all means have an alternative jumper with an aggressive design like that ... but keep the original too. I think Rugby League has made a mistake in the chase for cash by losing the traditional strips of many clubs.





PS you'll have trouble getting 'claws' ... they're called "talons" on a bird of prey but I know what you mean :-)
Reply:I don't like the colours but have to say that they are original, after all would you prefer blue and white or red and white (like every second club).





Agree about the aggressive claws, stripes just don't cut it anymore. I think the reason for them in the first place was cause they were easy to machine but nowadays we can do anything so there is no excuse.





PS try submitting this in Australian Rules for a wider response.
Reply:How can you say you are a hawks supporter when you knock their strip, there are worse in the AFL.
