Behold the 2009 Brumbies members’ hat. One of the most sought after status symbols going in this town. (There are many like it, this one is mine).

This years is exceptionally comfortable on my abnormally large head and doesn’t make me look more retarded than usual so I’m a bit of a fan.

Your thoughts Brumbies fans?

With all this criticism of the new design, no wonder they keep the plans under their hat…

The Brumbies hats look great, and will look fantastic on TV as mentioned by Overheard.

“However its white and boring ! Why isn’t it Lime Green ??”
I agree… I was very dissapointed with the Raiders hats. They should be Lime Green. I love seeing a sea of bright colour at sporting events.

Light coloured hats suck when you sweat in them.

hmmm at the garish yellow negative comments….i am now wondering about the fashion status of my canberra capitals supporters’ cap which is also yellow…. dare i say more yellow than this brumbies cap. maybe we need to have an ugly hat/cap theme for the next RA gathering? the person with the ugliest hat gets to keep everyone else’s as a prize.

mudguard,shiny on top, s**te underneath

Personally, I find the ‘Brumbie’ too similar to the Ferrari logo and question the use of a feral animal as part of our iconic symbology.

What they need is a bettong!

Spitfire – I agree… The Raiders hat for once looks better… However its white and boring ! Why isn’t it Lime Green ??

I need it to be white to break up my lime green velvet tracksuit.

Also, I think it glows in the dark.

Bozo at #12 “They seem to get more yellow every year! I suppose it looks better on TV. I still persist with my all blue one from 2000.”

They change the caps every year. Here it is, nine years later, and you’re still wearing the all blue one. What are you going to do when it wears out? Go back to 1999? Love your acceptance of change!

Unless we get to see JB’s abnormally large head looking usually retarded and then the unworsened look from the application of a Brumbies hat, I doubt we can judge the veracity of this article.

The yellw should make the wearer safer out in traffic, like the old yellow raincoat song.

Thankyou kindly, Kerces. I think I shall err on the side of saving my sight, and wait for the eye candy at the trial match.

Hmm…eye candy…must remember to take the noccies…

half a dozen were toiling on Griffith Oval as I drove past an hour ago…

ebony57, it does say on the hat tickets you can get them at the trial match.

when I went out to the Griffith HQ, there was half-naked man in the not-yet-set-up shop (you have to get them from the receptionist currently). Not one of the players though 🙁

It should have some comedy Fisher hair stitched in so members can remember ‘the Laurie years’ when they wear it. Now that would look good on TV.

still wont help them beat the crusaders!

aside from that i kinda like it. but then i like yellow things…

My RAIDERS member’s cap looks much better.

BTW, it’s “There are many like it but this one is mine.”
But, not comma. Only a yawnion fan could stuff up such a classic line from such a classic movie.

They probably have a suggestion box somewhere for stuff like that!

; )

It’s the red badge of courage, Mr Evil!

Oh, I am out of the loop! 🙂

And you can arrange all the Waratah fans broken teeth along the edge of the peak?

It’s the red badge of courage, Mr Evil!

No, no, no!

Haven’t the Brumbies’ management team worked out yet that Waratah fans’ blood stains yellow badly????

They seem to get more yellow every year! I suppose it looks better on TV. I still persist with my all blue one from 2000.

Kinda like the 2008 model, methinks. Bright, almost shiny.

Sigh. Slightly disappointed that you have to go to the club if you want to get one before the first game, though I suppose it was more hindrance than benefit for Rebel.

Say – anyone know if you’ll be able to collect them at the trial match? (yep, too lazy to read my cap voucher) And Woohoo! for a trial match in Canberra, even if it’s going to be the under 6 team running on…

I love yellow! It’s a really fun, happy colour. But I would need to see how they look on.

In sufficient numbers, they’ll look quite striking on TV coverage.

The hat belongs to the members plural, so as you were officers…

The problem with the yellow style caps is if you wear them in any sort of heat you’ll get some unpleasant sweat staining at the base of the brim….whereas my older blue ones still look fine…the best cap of all was the flash blue/purple cordie model produced for the Canberra Kookas..

I personally preferred the ones with more blue as being a bit less garish, but otherwise it looks good.

The hat people, focus on the hat.

It’s yellow and it’s a cap. And it says ‘Brumbies’ and denotes the year of membership.

Not much more than that to focus on here.

It’s too yellow !

The hat people, focus on the hat.
