Ill have 1 of the green Mills jersey in XL thanks. Thats a jersey people would be proud to wear. The previous ones look like you should be driving a bulldozer as resembles hi viz clothing.

nice simple design, i really like the iconography, a list of past boomers would also be nice. BA should use these designs.....

I like it too.

Bold, simple and very eye catching.

Great work mate. You'd get the job if it was my decision. I love the incorporation of the coat of arms too. I've always thought that either that coat of arms or the flag should be on the uniform, so well done on that. Definitely less is more, as evidenced by the NZ uniforms of the past couple of years. The other thing that annoys me about the Boomers uniforms (aside from the colours and other things you mentioned) is that they change slightly every single year. I believe they need to go with a design such as yours, and stick with it for a few years to build some pride in pulling on the uniform. Sure the guys are proud to be Boomers and represent Australia, but I'm sure if you asked them, they wouldnt be proud of the uniform.

looks awesome!!!
I would include the Australian flag on the left shoulder.
Lets see what you can do with some of the NBL jerseys

And while you're at it P34, I know you talked about how much work a rebrand was with the Rockets, but I reckon you should do the Melbourne Tigers to show them how it should have been done!

Another thing that really annoys me about BA merchandise at the moment, they asked fans to come to the Farewell Games in green and gold, but a lot of their merchandise (jackets, jumpers and some t-shirts) were navy blue and white. That just makes no sense! Take a page out of the Perth Wildcats book, if you want the fans to wear a certain color/s to the game, make sure they're the only colors you can buy!

Reminds me of Nike college jerseys which I like. I think adidas will make the Olympic uniforms though, being official Olympic uniform supplier. Still don't know why we went with Peak as a sponsor. I know they're trying to get a foot in the door here distribution wise and Nike & adidas won't sponsor us but still!!!

Nice work mate, I love the white strip, it looks really classy and that's not a colour the Boomers have used before.

Would love to see some simple striping down the side to balance out the colour but this is much better than what they have right now.

I remember in the mid 90s the national team also had jerseys which had 'Boomers' written on the front.

Although I think that would be too informal for international events such as the Olympics, or WC, it would be cool if they had an alternate jersey with that for exhibition games.

Somebody show KK these designs.

threeball, the Aussies have gone with a white uniform once before. It had that full Boomers logo on the front, and we wore it against the USA in an exhibition game in Melbourne (along with a few other games) prior to the Sydney Olympics.

Forgive me I dont know how to post photos in here, but you can see the uniform at - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vB7_XlsLCbc/SJcKAanIQgI/AAAAAAAAAN8/A6tACerOy1w/s320/boomers+v+carter.jpg

Hate to be the downer, but not really a fair comparison without the required logos and sponsors. All jerseys would look simpler without them but it's not quite reality. Wonder if you could accommodate them without impacting the simple look by putting one at the neck (in a dark triangle) and another as a wraparound on a strap?

Bit like designing a newspaper website - all loads of fun until you have to put the advertising in, and then it's very hard to keep it decent.

It's always amused me that some of the most popular jerseys (Euro football) are so laden with logos. Same sort of thing with cyclists in lycra - they're billboards!

Can you redesign some NBL jerseys please

Issac, given that the Boomers don't have a major sponsor at the moment, I think the timing is fitting!

Isaac,

Completely agree. I was going to mention that in the write-up but forgot. I know first hand how difficult sponsors can be.

Not to say that sponsors can't be integrated easily. I'll keep it in mind for my NBL designs.

Do the Olympics allow for corporate sponsorship though?

Vart,

Shaking my head at the Tigers logo. They should actually be embarrassed with that effort.

I totally agree about the Tigers logo P34!

In respect of the Olympics, no, they don't allow corporate sponsorship. But they don't allow sporting teams to wear uniforms of their own design either (I note you mention at the start of your article 'have a look below at the uniforms the Boomers will be wearing at the Olympics' - thats not correct), all uniforms are designed and manufactured by adidas for the Olympics. The Boomers wear their Peak uniforms for all other competitions.

Noted Vart.

Will update my post.

Big fan of the designs P34!

Thanks for the info Vart. Yes I remember now.

That pic also brought back memories of that ill-tempered game when VC was being a punk and took it out on Gaze; and one of the refs dislocated his elbow after smacking into one of the USA players.

Hammer looks like he's ready to take out another dream teamer...

wow, that's amazing stuff P34!

Maybe make the coat of arms smaller and add in the peak logo, but other than that it would be an awesome olympic jersey

P34 These look awesome!!

I'll take one of each thanks!!

I'll take one of both please

Love the green Kds! Custom Nike elites with green stripe would look great to go with the green jerseys. Would be sweet if Boomers were to be sponsored by nike. Great job P34!!!

P34- awesome work. Could you (when you get a chance) put together some
nbl jersey designs? And possibly enter into a-league as well? Love your work!!

Hey KET - this is off the topic, but do you reckon you could please post some instructions about how to 'quote' and paste pictures in here? Thanks.

Anon, you're right, it is, but only because they've included the Australian Sports Commission as a quasi sponsor. The coat of arms and/or flag have not always been a part of Boomers uniforms.

Vart, it's normal HTML.

To quote, wrap in BLOCKQUOTE tags but be sure to close your tag, e.g.,

<blockquote>This is my paragraph of quoted text.</blockquote>

Double check everything before you post. Make sure you have that / in the closing tag.

For images, refer here.

Anon - thanks for the link, but thats an Olympic uniform, so completely different to what the Boomers wear during non-Olympic games. I'd be careful using the terms 'always' too. Always is a very, very long time!

Ha ha, a fair while is better! But I still say you're wrong. It definitely wasn't on the uniforms when we lost to the Kiwi's in qualification for the 2002 World Championships. The earliest photo I can find is the 2005 FIBA Oceania championships, so I guess seven years is a 'fair while'.
