I propose Hawthorn only ever plays at home against teams in dark kits. At least that way we'll have gold jumpers vs black/navy jumpers.

Geelong will get to take their navy shorts out of the mothballs, but really it'd be great if Brisbane got some red shorts for their Fauxroy jumpers. We've got this "don't let the away team add white to the matchup" rule for Geelong/North games and then you get to Brisbane, who only have white or maroon shorts in their lockers.

Melbourne won't wear clash against Collingwood "because Carlton don't, and we want to remind everyone that we're also a Big Victorian Club"

If Gold Coast's red and Hawthorn's gold clash against the rectangles on Adelaide's jumper, why doesn't Sydney's red? Or is this just because the Crows' only alternative is an all-white kit?

The only thing wrong with GC-WCE is the wings aren't big enough and are broken by the side-panels, and I preferred the eagle-head from around '06.

Essendon-Bulldogs is comparably aesthetically-pleasing as GC-WCE, especially as we get to see the Dogs in royal tops with white shorts.

Perhaps we will see the red jumper?

Perhaps we will see the red jumper?

I'd like to but I highly doubt that, for Big Victorian Club Rivalry reasons.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Have Melbourne even worn the red clash jumper this year? If not, may I ask why it even exists?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Makes sense, but why not generate more money by actually wearing it?

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Looking forward to this

I'm expecting to see them wear it against Carlton.

Quite a possibility

Preferences:

(Brisbane in their Fitzroy inspired guernsey. There was no icon for that guernsey with blue shorts.)

(Gold Coast in Southport inspired chevron guernsey)

 

[walhawk]

Blue shorts would be awesome for Lions.
Pies home with white shorts would be ok (but won't happen).
Everything else looks straight forward.

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Sydney to wear special one off jumper not quite sure what it's about but it's just a red v with a heap of player names on white background

Have I missed something?

 

[hitthepost]

Have I missed something?

For "preferences" read "jumper matchups based on what jumpers I'd like the teams to have"

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Have I missed something?

Simply what he'd like to happen rather than what will happen

 

[Storm20]

I thought so, just checking I haven't missed anything
