Lions lose the marketing plot
The Western Bulldogs thrashed the Lions by 63 points today at the MCG. I’m glad I didn’t travel to Melbourne for the game. It’s one I might have gone to if circumstances had permitted.
I want to comment on the ugly jumper the Lions wore. Why did they wear that white guernsey with strange stripes and faded yellow?
Melbourne was carpeted a few weeks ago for the crappiest alternative strip, but I reckon this takes the prize.
The Lions only play half a dozen games each year in Melbourne. They should wear the former Fitzroy jumper in Melbourne games as a matter of policy.
I think the last time they wore it was in Perth.
For a club with such a rich heritage it’s hard to believe they wasted time and money creating jumpers that will never be appreciated by anyone.
Whoever thought of this crazy idea ought to be sacked. The CEO should have a cold shower and remind himself that supporters and some players follow the jumper.
Whether it’s Lions, Bears or Fitzroy, stick to the heritage script.
