Hi everyone. Been lurking here a few years, finally decided to sign-up.
A lazy attempt:
Can someone who is clever do mock-ups of how the two new jumpers would look on players?

Could do without the yellow one, the white one would be beautiful.

Really wanna see the yellow one used against the Doggies now, just for the lulz. And also for BT to make a stupid comment about it.
Now, how's BLK gonna mess this one up?

For starters using the wrong shade of colours. They will be lighter than the normal colours.

Good outcome all things considered.
Obviously it seems the yellow jumper is superfluous in terms of practicality – that main white one will clash with precisely nothing, so the yellow will be a once-a-year money spinner. But hey, that as a fund raising tool is much better than some ugly, pointless novelty design/sugar daddy/one of their lame SANFL 'heritage' designs.
Also, am I reading it wrong or was the yellow third strip actually get the most hated votes and those hated votes outweighed the loved its?!

So the AFL have opened the door for coloured clash kits.
I wonder what made them change their stance when only last year Brisbane were knocked back.

Love it.Ideally this is what I would like with the yellow kit. I know it's almost similar to the bulldogs, but hey its a good design.

Port-Richmond-Finals-Gate, that's what.
When they decided that Richmond's clash jumper was suddenly not going to work against Port, they HAD to allow/make Richmond to change their clash jumper. Knowing the WCE TP was on the way out, they could allow a yellow jumper so long as they didn't schedule Richmond away to the Eagles.
I would be very surprised if BL's next clash kit isn't gold.

On that final last year... I can't remember whyour clash was suddenly an issue to Port when it hadn't been previously? Always felt like that got blown out of proportion.
*that said, I'm glad it lead to the current clash

The AFL finally realised what we'd all known for ages - Richmond still had a predominantly black jumper. So they decided to do something about it.
It was a dick move by the AFL - "this has been fine since we approved it, it's been worn in 3 (or whatever) games before and now we're saying it's not OK. Port you'll have to wear your clash jumpers in a home final". It wasn't so bad that they made a change immediately after one of the previous games, so it should have been left until the end of the season and then a change made. Home teams should always get first-choice of guernsey, and the AFL were told that in no uncertain terms after WCE-Richmond-Jumper-Gate, but they went at it again. Yes it's only a jumper but we all know what clubs are (rightly IMO) like with their jumpers.
Red band too thick and they wont allow blue shorts away.Ideally this is what I would like with the yellow kit. I know it's almost similar to the bulldogs, but hey its a good design.

I'm assuming these will be available before Christmas? Would love a yellow one in my stocking
The red band is the same size as the navy band.
I know they would wear it with white shorts for 99.9% of match ups but personally (although not practical) think it looks better with navy shorts

I would switch the two bands coz even with the gold stroke the numbers will blend into the navy band too much. But I like, and could be worn with the navy shorts as an away to Sydney with no probs

And in typical AFL fashion they still managed to utensil it up by putting both teams in their "light" guernseys

Yeah, good thing Richmond's "light" guernsey was just a "slightly lighter than our dark" guernsey

What would you wear against the Richmond when they are wearing the clash?
You're not going to have clash jumper vs clash jumper.
Well if Richmond are wearing their clash against Adelaide, the Crows would most likely be wearing their home.
