I have seen worst...
Which says a lot about the AFL

Carlton might also have been better in navy shorts!
If they think a navy blue jumper doesnt clash with a royal blue jumper, why arent Carlton playing in navy blue shorts?

100% correct. Never understood why Pies always need to wear their black shorts at home.
We play in a black jumper with black shorts at home.
When away we play with a white jumper with white shorts.

Is this a new home jumper for the Roos?
Otherwise what is the objection to Carlton wearing navy shorts, and the Roos wearing their normal white with royal blue vertical stripes jumper with white shorts? Is it really just the obsession with away team wearing white shorts!!??

It’s a Good Friday jumper, for the kids and has some purple and green (RCH colors).
We’ve known for two weeks they were wearing it so why on earth didn’t Carlton wear their clash.
It’s not the worst clash but it’s genuinely idiotic

The clash is nowhere near as bad as I feared. And the North jumper looks better than I expected too.

The white shorts definitely make it worse. Navy shirts would've worked well I think.

You could wear your white shorts with the black jumper and it would still solve the problem
Collingwood white jumper (their original home) solves so many issues vs other clubs. The issue is the AFL doesn't force clubs to find a solution

Except it wouldn’t. Predominantly black vs predominantly black (or navy blue) doesn’t magically become better when you switch which team has the white shorts on.

But better than Essendon & Carlton wearing white shorts with white in Pies jumper…just saying

But not as good as those teams wearing an appropriate clash jumper when the away team, as Collingwood always does.
Should be an easy process: Home team nominates their jumper, the AFL tells them which shorts to wear and which jumper/shorts the away team wears.
Pies as the away team, we use our white jumper with white shorts and there is NEVER any clash with clubs playing in black/navy. Ginny having a day out in the white kit last ANZAC day.
But when we are home we play in our black jumper, and you get idiotic scenarios like below....because the AFL lets clubs play in "white shorts" to solve a clash of jumpers.
Time for the AFL to bin the old legacy "away white shorts" crap.

Honestly more fool all of us cause the afl clearly doesn’t give a s**t.
Case in point:
On paper this is a massive clash but it was pretty much fine in practice. They made the wise choice of not putting Carlton into white shorts which would've created more of a clash. Since this game our home kit has gotten whiter and we use a brighter shade of blue, too.

I was expecting that to be way worse if I’m honest.
Unless you’re actively looking for a problem, don’t think tonight clashed at all.
