The Sash remainstight… strong and powerful across the chest, and joins on the hip side as it should, and it looks like they have fixed all the 3 minor issues i had with the jumper last year… 1. Neck hole was too large, 2. Shoulders were too narrow, 3. The Sash did not go fully over the shoulder.
So judging by these pics, ISC have fixed all 3 issues by altering there basic cut in one go!..The neck hole is smaller, the shoulder width is wider, and thus the extra width now allows the room for the Sash to move up right next to the collar & thus, go fully over the shoulder, unlike last years…thank you, thank you, thank you!
There looks to be a small collar now built in too…perfect!!!
2018…
2018…
Get set for a big 2018, our armour is at its very best… NEVER change this Essendon jumper recipe please!!!
Thank you ISC!!!
Perhaps it was the Essendon jumper design that forced ISC to change the basic cut they have had in for years. Our design was the only one that there large neck hole, and narrow shoulders did not lend itself too looking right… A sash needs a smaller neck hole and larger width shoulders in order to go over the shoulder fully and properly.
So i like to believe our iconic sash, forced there change for the better, as i’m not sure they would have made these minor adjustments otherwise.
It took 8 years but we finally have an actual perfect sash. I still dont know how we let Adidas get away with a fkn stripe across our chest looking back now.
Shame about the clash strip, I really hoped we’d adapt something close to the dream time clash jumper we had this year which is as good as you’ll get for an Essendon clash jumper.
