No they don’t. The helmet changes color (deepens or lightens) depending on the light. They are close, but they are as off as the new Jet uni’s.

Don’t bother, man. Losing battle.

Look man, you’re trying to match a metallic color thats buffed out to a gloss, with a completely different material at a different company. It’s not photoshop. They’re off by a little bit. I work with finishes and mixing color all the time. No, they’re not the same. Perhaps the fabric could have been a bit more emerald. Margin of error. It’s not like the uni’s are olive drab or baby-$hit green. Step back a bit. You don’t like them, that’s cool. You don’t have to. I’m not a huge fan either (your complaint is not lost on me, I can’t not see that color difference either), but to not watch the team you barrack for because their helmets are a touch off is a bit dramatic, wouldn’t you say?

Hehe, you are right though, they do look different.

Light. It’s how color works.

You’d love my mom’s place. Lots of doilies, flowery wallpaper, and tea cozies.

Don’t you have a shotgun selfie to take or something?

When metallics are involved you have to talk about finish. They’ll look different in sunlight than stage lights. In some pics the helmet is a pretty close match, but they’re never going to look the same. Their error is having the helmet be metallic while the rest of the fabric is not.

God this is soooo awkward

Yeah, hit close to home, I get it.

This. Grown men wearing sports jerseys are trying way too hard to cling to their less-than-great youth.

Are you compensating for that emasculating bedspread, or what? Nothing says 12 going on 55 like taking desktop selfies with a shotgun. Good lord.

Western Bulldogs it is (red, white and blue)! They won a flag (championship) a few years ago, but were in an excruciatingly long slump. Don’t know about the stadium, but not many teams have a “home” stadium in AFL. There’s a lot of travelling over the course of a home and away season. Fans are as fair weather there as hers. So there you go. Doggies supporter.

They been coming out of the wood work lately.

Welcome, mate. There are a couple of Hawthorn supporters in the group, so we’ve had a good decade, but you may want to consider a different team. Jets are cursed. May not be fun.
