Add the Jamaican Coat of Arms to National team uniforms

[Edmundo]

I have been a member here for a couple years and I have found that although the opinions of members run the gamut they are nonetheless informed and sincere opinions (in most cases). Therefore I feel that this is the perfect venue to start the movement to replace the JFF logo on the chest of the Jamaican national team Jersey with our National Coat of Arms. I am not saying remove JFF logo completely, as unimaginative as it is, it could remain somewhere on the sleeve. Join me in this movement, our national motto "out of many one people" which is engraved in the coat of arms says more about our national identity than the JFF logo.

Edmundo I like your idea!

Let me throw in a little bit of psychology (Me 3:16).....With my youth teams thatI coach whenever we scrimmage another team I never have them wear their actual jerseys. I'll tell them to wear a white shirt or a red shirt depending on what the other team is wearing.

The reason I do this is that I want the players to understand consciously and subconsciously the added importance of actual games. You almost want a pavlov response for when they put on that jersey. It is like a horse being put into the starting gate. They knowits'on.

So in saying that here is my idea....What I would like to see is that the jersey with the JFF logo is used for friendlies. Then when we play FIFA sanctioned tournaments or qualifiers we put on the jersey with the Coat of Arms. I think that would really imprint in the player's minds that today is a day to perform. No excuses. - T.K.

I agree and while we're at it we should replace the fake National Anthem with Jamaica's "real" National Anthem, Shabba Ranks Love Punany Bad

Funny! Anyway ... that wouldn't be ideal would it? The anthem should have meaning to all Jamaicans. Women, men who are celebate and the homosexuals would be left out. After all .... dem nuh Jamaicans too?

<DIV>I don't think that should be necessary. The flag is already in the JFF logo. If you can't play for that will the Coat of Arms really help? </DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>And yes, the JFF logo is quite boring! </DIV>

damn it to hell... i was thinking that very same thing a few days ago... that jff logo is staight up whacked... although its not that important in the grand scheme of the program... we just need better administrators, coaches and players... if we had those key components playing and winning games we would not be thinking about logo... however your point is well taken...

Well how I see it a woman should love her p*nany as it brings forth life and who cares if BEN J feels isolated?

Dead onBaddaz. I would prefer to see a jersey design where the coat of arms was faintly watermarked on the entire jersey, much like Mexico's for the 1998 world cup had their aztec symbols. The existing logo by the way is downright ugly, but I would prefer that we focus on putting a better product on the field and leave the cosmetics to Bricktop's disenfranchised effeminate "friends"

The flag and the uniform is the same colors, black gold and green, the logo is the same colors so it doesn't really add anything new.

Respect T.K. you take it to another level. At this level of competition all the little details add up. That extra bit of motivation might make all the difference.
