While I think the prison bars is a good alternative, I just don't understand the thought process. It's not really any less of a clash. If they were concerned about the shorts, why not make Richmond wear white shorts?
Port wearing away strip - now ok to wear prison bar jumper - AFL

Port Adelaide have been given the task of taking their reserves guernsey and producing a new set ready for an AFL match this weekend....
If this is the case... why didn't they just get Richmond to do the same with their reserves guernsey?

Seriously what hallucinogenic drugs are those campaigners at the AFL on????????

Would've been funny if Glenelg made the SANFL finals and played against Port the day before...

Because they don't see wearing their home kit while port wears a clash kit as a problem.
Obviously can't exactly force a team to wear a Guernsey they have not deemed suitable for senior use on the fly.
Whatever the outcome, it highlights that Port has the right model. Distinctive Home, Away (V guernseys of dark and light) plus suitable clash (prison bar). AFL, make every club have the same and there is no issue.

Maybe Port already had jumpers made up? They weren't allowed to wear the prison bars in R22.

Wearing prison bars is better than wearing their away guernsey but that doesn't mitigate that Richmond and the AFL have ****ed this up perfectly.

What I don't get is how the AFL has directed clubs to design white clash strips (well that's what Trigg fed us when we went with a white clash strip) yet Richmond can simply add two yellow strips on their guernsey and presto, clash guernsey approved.
Hell, Richmond could simply reverse their colours and have a pretty good clash strip.

Might want to try again, Gale has said we'd happily wear our clash jumper to allow Port to wear their home jumper.

The whole thing seems a bit too... manufactured for my liking.

Richmond have done nothing of the sort. We've worn the jumper I posted above since 2010 against Port with no issue and now the AFL say it's not good enough. But lets not let facts get in the way of a good rant.
Our reserves play in the resversed jumper- and a lot of us love it. Probably will be a clash jumper at some stage. Still won't necessarily help a West Coast clash as then there's heaps of yellow- but that's one of the 'not really clashes'. Our main bad ones are black backed guernseys

Why isn't every club forced to wear an all white jumped with there logo on the front as an away strip?
Then clubs are allowed to offer alternatives that are ticked off by the AFL I.E Ports White jumper with the V , Freo's etc

Without a doubt! If anyone at Richmond thought that after the abuse Essendon got for their fat sash that their abortion of a clash jumper was acceptable then they must be smoking some pretty strong stuff. The AFL are to blame for approving it yes, but Richmond are just as much to blame for being so selfihs as to put forward this half-arsed excuse of a jumper.
Like others have said, for a clash jumper to qualify you should be able to play against your home jumper in it.

Bizarre logic, but it will be great to see the famous prison bars in an AFL final

Where did this the WAFL doesn't like the yellow with black sash come from. It hasn't been the Western Australia jumper since the 1980s. It shouldn't be an issue as all WA teams wear yellow/gold with a black swan emblem. I think it may well be a furphy introduced by Richmond.

You're AFL Clash jumper is no good, it doesn't matter if you have been allowed to use it in the past it was never good enough.Brendon Gale @brendongale25 1h

You're VFL Clash jumper however would work perfectly, but that isn't was Gale is talking about.
It also highlights the AFL have no idea what they are doing and still make it up as it suits them.
Well played Port. Doesn't address the issues with the clash jumper situation in any way, but it's a well deserved middle finger to the Amateur Footy League bosses all the same.
