Title: Custom grips in the glorious HAC colors.
Post by: fasteddie on August 10, 2014, 01:40:53 PM
Get a load of these bad boys.

Got them from Custom Grips. £3 each for 50.

Good quality.

Look rather nasty, the finish isn't great. The colours seem to run into each other, that shouldn't happen I suppose.

yep, figure they'll divide opinion - the lads at your club will love them, everyone else...less so!

The chap who runs the site, or at least answers the questions, did say that there would be a bit of bleeding.

The finish is actually fine. My photography less so.

You are correct, that they club members are rather chuffed. turned out nice.  :D

I'm glad Eddie, my earlier comment made me sound horrible. Hope you and everyone at the club who is going to use them likes them, that's the main thing.

Hideous Brisbane Lions colours!! Cut the maroon and you have yourself the colours of a champion team, the West Coast Eagles!!

Sorry - AFL speak going on there :)

Cool idea if you have a very patriotic team!

Do any of you chaps have any idea what this hairy colonial is blithering on about?

Not sure. I'll send it to a translator and see what they come up with.

I don't speak 'Australian'.  :D

Having spent 9 months in the colonies now Fattus I'm led to believe it's some form of simpletons version of Rugby, unable to process the 'can only pass backwards rule' they just seem to kick the ball to each other, push each other a little bit in scenes often witnessed within the premier league and appear to score points by kicking it through large sticks. All of this is done whilst wearing tank tops that wouldn't be out of place on Old Compton Street in Soho. The 'umpire' blows the whistle after two hours of this ungentlemanly spectacle and awards the win to the team wearing the shortest shorts.

Having said that the benefits are lager is served in large quantites at games and you are encouraged to eat as many meat pies as possible so it's ok by me....'Carn the Swannies!!!'

But back on topic I think the grips look great Eddie, a good idea and I hope the boys at your club like them. I also love the old Harlequin cap mate, not enough of them any more.

Hahaha love the comments chaps!!!

Yeah I don't mind the hawks mate, collingwood and of course the purple filth Fremantle head the top of my dislike list - the swannies can go and get stuffed too!

CHEER CHEER THE RED AND THE WHITE!  I'm a swans fan, and they will win the flag this year as long as Buddy is on the park. Shall we start an AFL thread?
