looks green to me

Being worn v Port Adelaide, Freo, St Kilda and Richmond. Further proof that the AFL clash policy is a complete farce considering they'll wear the home v West Coast, Adelaide and Carlton.

I assume they'll be doing another Anzac jumper again? Black/White v black with white shorts is never a good look.

In what ******* world do we clash with Freo?

Melbourne?

>You now realise James Hird's name and signature will turn up on a future Essendon "heritage" guernsey.

As for this one; meh, I don't hate it. Black sash > outlined red sash.

I wonder if the material that blades used for north melvournes guernseys a few years ago will be the one used when this happens

 

[Hank93]

Melbourne?

Home team in that match.

 

[Red Crow]

Home team in that match.

Ahhh so those are just for this year then. Thought it was a list of all teams they "officially" clash with.

As has been pointed out on this board, they should be called contrast jumpers and worn a truck load more especially in Melbourne.

Just because something isn't strictly a clash doesn't mean we should avoid using it. Red v dark Purple is clearly going to be easier to view than black v dark purple.

Looks alright with white shorts, but the red jumper would be a better contrast.

And that's deemed such a clash that another jumper is needed? Good ******* grief.

Fremantle clash with Adelaide
Adelaide clash with Fremantle

Adelaide clash with Essendon
Fremantle clash with Essendon

Essendon do not clash with Adelaide or Fremantle

Thats logic for ya!


*you can substitute the likes of Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood and West Coast into this equation and it still works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They don't but it will look really nice and more contrasting.

I was at that game and the same match the next year and found it much easier to watch with Essendon in the clash.

I just love that Mero called it in September.

Ahem... stormy in June - with signatures.

curved sash...might as well be lime green.

AFL website saying Watson was chosen as the player featured on the new jumper in a "fan poll". What poll?

 

[HTT]

If there's one thing I'd criticise of the yellow Adelaide clash is that the yellow hoop just appears as a big gap. I'd love to see it as a yellow version of the home.

 

[DiamondGuy]

TBH I don't think that Essendon clash works.

Ok, it fulfils all of their anal criteria but on the field the sash will be lost and it is going to look like a plain red jumper with two random thin black lines. Still, it's good to see a genuine clash strip. Welcome to the 21st Century, Essendon. Hope you get to play a Grand Final in that thing.

I don't think it will work against the Saints tbh.

The new Essendon clash jumper looks good, but they should have a third jumper to wear when they play us at the 'Gabba or the Crows at the Oval (like they would under the Premier League clash system)

I like that they have kept the names of premiership players, always believed every club should create their own tradition in their clash jumpers

Some of the predicted results for them this year may suggest they'll be playing akin to witches' hats .
