Discussion Grand Final Matchups 2023 - What will your team wear?

[Supercheapgiants]

Thought I'd throw together another Grand Final Matchup list for this season. I'm pretty sure I've got every possibility correct though I might've missed something. Feel free to discuss anything about finals jumpers in here too.

Carlton? Grand Final?

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I guess we're (Port) not making the grand final then

Go the white back and the red vee for swans.

None of the teams posted as home teams so far could be the home team against us since the higher ranked team is the “home team”

Nah they'll wear home kit.

 

[Heardy_101]

I daresay the AFL would allow Saints in home with white shorts. Because you know, Victoria.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I'd be keen to see the Lions where a proper monogram Fitzroy kit if we were the away team at the MCG

Personally, it has to be the 1944 version.

The last successful guernsey.

In our last Grand Final we wore our away strip. We asked Collingwood if they would swap or allow us to wear our home one for the replay, and they said no.

If it was the white FFC that would be shmick (white is easier to see on TV too), and navy shorts (or white if away)

Did I miss something - Where are the Top 4 teams?

Top 4 all got lost on the way to finals

Looking at week 1, ideally Melbourne would wear the lighter blue jumper and maybe blue shorts - why add white to their uniform?
carl v swans good on eye
saints v GWS - should be ok, again shame to introduce white shorts when white is a saints colour
brisbane v port - port in grey?

looking at weeks 2-4, potential crap visually would be any match up where carlton away to collingwood because big 4 (but if carlton happens to be away to saints or melb not big 4 or port (not victorian) they will wear white right? right?

Do the Dees even have medium blue shorts?

probably not

Port don’t have a grey clash this year. Will either be black with white shorts or all white.

my mistake - cheers

In our last Grand Final we wore our away strip. We asked Collingwood if they would swap or allow us to wear our home one for the replay, and they said no.

Only because of Eddie.

Originally there was a coin toss to decide and you guys won, but that wasn't good enough and Eddie started digging though rulebooks.

Didn't get a chance to finish them at nearly midnight last night, I'll put them up soon

My personal preferences. Implements the finals uniform procedure used by the AFL in past decades, considers Melbourne-based Bloods, and removes white from being unnecessarily introduced. Of course, in an ideal world the Dees would have lighter blue shorts. I don't believe Port needs to wear their clash jumper, but provided they're the away side, the AFL should err on the side of optimal contrast here. Media assets from footyjumpers.com

True! The League used to not care who wore white shorts in Finals to allow for Home jumpers to be used.
I wouldnt mine that Pies v Dees match up.
Swans will wear the Home. Their thinking is- Finals, big audience, club on full display, we're Sydney first and foremost, Home jumper it is. eg/ QF 2022 away v Dees
Port has worn their Home @ Gabba on and off in Night games. Its a coin toss really
