Fan work – increase the sense of engagement and interaction
At the fan forum on December 25, ShengTeng and the Tsunami Fan Organization talked about the most important team emblem and game clothing for the club's brand upgrade, especially the use of blue and orange, which was the most intense discussion. "Blue is the representative color of our charming city; orange, the home color we have used for 12 years, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and we hope to fully explore the combination of these two colors." Liu Peng, head of the Tsunami Fans Association, said. Fan representatives Yang Long and Liu Bin directly expressed the idea of expecting the club to launch a retro version of the jersey.
The fans' ideas coincide with the club's development ideas, and after the meeting, the club carried out research and docking with Carme Company for the first time, fully respected the opinions of fans, adjusted the design ideas and plans, and listened to the suggestions and opinions of more people through online voting to determine the home and away game clothing of the professional team in 2022. "I have always believed that respecting the fans is respecting the club itself, the inheritance and heritage of the fans is sometimes the inheritance and heritage of the club, I hope that everyone can have more sense of participation and belonging, and the development of the club requires us to work together." Zhang Dong, vice chairman and general manager of the club, pointed out that the club's future work must fully respect the opinions of fans, so that everyone has a sense of participation and interaction, and "Manatee" belongs to every Qingdao person and belongs to the city's cultural totem.
1996 away suit
The shirt was inspired by the team's gowns from 1996, when the team returned to A A as the champion of the A and B League, wearing this shirt, which was also the last season of the old Manatee era. Compared with the previous two seasons, the design, color matching and contrast of this jersey in the 1996 season are refreshing, the jersey style is the polo collar + raglan sleeve design that was more popular at the end of the last century, and the color scheme adopts the bold avant-garde and the main color of the home jersey, which shines in the sun. It is worth mentioning that the number font this season adopts a three-dimensional hollow design, which is full of space. The new season jersey adds a waist and abdomen design to the 1996 jersey, which is nostalgic while not losing its modern feeling.
Home uniform for the 1999 season
This shirt was inspired by the team's jersey from 1999. At that time, the jersey brand was Qingdao Daying Culture and Sporting Goods Co., Ltd., which was also a new attempt for the club to attract investment, using a bold and avant-garde lapel design, simple white with Qingdao's urban characteristics of the sea blue, echoing the manatee song "We are the children of the sea". The jersey theme creatively uses two colors as the main color, inspired by the city impression of "red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky", but also takes into account the red of blood and the deep blue, symbolizing the confidence of the team to strive for the best at both ends of the attack and defense, and pay tribute to the great history of the club. The simple white vertical strip makes this jersey feel retro, which is the best inheritance of the club's history, and also symbolizes the determination and perseverance to fight for Qingdao.
2002 season away uniform
This shirt was inspired by the team's jersey from 2002. As the jersey worn by the team when it won the first FA Cup in the history of Qingdao football that year, the red and white vintage jersey can be described as an honor, representing that glorious year, representing the team's brilliant achievements, historical precipitation and good memories. At that time, the jersey was blue at home and red and white on the road, with lapels at the neckline and white main color plus red raglan sleeves at the shoulders. This jersey is a combination of vintage and pop, paying homage to the classics.
2005 season home match uniform
As a coastal city and the capital of sailing, blue has become the representative color of Qingdao, and blue is also the embodiment of historical history, the earliest from the rare lapis lazuli, which is the hope of nurturing life. In the 2005 season, in the early days of Zhongneng Group taking over the team, it inherited the blue color elements of the old manatee and the Manatee period, that is, wearing a blue battle robe to fight, and finally set off a blue youth storm nationwide, not only excavating and cultivating a group of outstanding players such as Jiang Ning and Zheng Long, but also achieving a good result of ranking 7th in the top league.
2008 season home uniform
Orange is the representative color of Zhongneng Group, and it is also the theme color of the original "Tiger Symbol" team emblem, symbolizing passion and vitality, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for seventeen years. In 2004, when Zhongneng Group took over the team, it still maintained the main red and blue color of the original jersey until 2008, when it was gradually fixed to orange. The team wore orange jerseys and spent unforgettable and unforgettable years with the fans in orange in the stands, and orange was also praised by the younger generation of fans as the representative color of the team. This jersey has a small, vintage stand collar at the neckline, adding a nostalgic touch.
