AFL great hits back hard at ‘ridiculous’ Tassie jumper critics
The jumper features a yellow map of Tasmania with a red T in the centre, while the logo is a dramatic side-on image of a Tasmanian devil’s head using the same colours.“I was an onlooker, like everyone, yesterday – without any insights into what the jumper was going to look like, or the logo, emblem was going to look like,” Riewoldt said on LiSTNR’s Footy Talk on Tuesday.“I thought it hit the mark absolutely perfectly. I think the logo, the devil, is awesome.
“I like tradition, I am a traditionalist in so many ways in football. I do like the traditional parts of our game, but a new club, I thought it could’ve been a bit more dynamic. “I’ve heard a little bit of criticism about the jumper which I just can’t wrap my head around to be honest, because it’s the traditional Tassie football jumper,” he said.
“I thought the colour palette, the jumper, the logo, they were all 10/10 for me. So great job to the organising committee and everyone involved.Riewoldt was also confident ongoing issues over a new stadium in Tasmania for the club would be resolved.
