Hoping Melbourne wear the red again.

This is going to be fun to see what the Tigers do.

Bulldogs in red as well.

Hoping Melbourne wear the red again.

MFC confirmed in their IG/Twitter posts that they will! (look at description)

Maybe I'm completely missing something but where does that say they'll wear it against Freo?

EDIT: Nevermind, I could only see the picture. Going into their Insta profile shows the text.

Yep found it eventually. There was a discussion a while ago about Melbourne's red jumper and I predicted they would wear it in these two matches and was hounded down for it. Nice to see I guessed right!

Melbourne's red guernsey would look awesome with red shorts this week.

Thats pretty likely to happen tbh. Has never not happened as I recall.

WCE wore full royal against Roos, worked great. No reason it won't work for Bulldogs, with North in white shorts.

 

[CollarJazzKnee]

Carlton in clash?
Tigers in yellow?
I think suns/port match up will be very visually appealing.

There's a slight clash between geelong/collingwood but two traditional teams so it's ok. They always seem to play at night too. Would like to a day game like the 2011 GF (what a day).

It did look good, but them in full red and us in full home would be much better.

 

[Roo Beauty]

I'm torn on which matchup I like better (both from 2014 btw)





I love our hooped socks in the full white kit but I also love the home shorts and socks. If the Dogs had a better, richer style of red then I'd probably lean towards the second one.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

Whenever we have the opportunity to wear our home shorts with our home jumper for a home game, we should take it.
If it is the home team that can chose whatever they want to wear, surely we tell the Dogs to piss off and wear their red kit.
FULL red kit.

 

[CollarJazzKnee]

I'm sure geelong and north have the choice to wear their home shorts at their home games. But it seems both teams are happy to wear white for the greater good. Personally I reckon all white geelong looks awesome, but when north do it it just doesn't look right. North in that great shade of royal blue shorts looks far better.

 

[parano1a]

Collingwood, on the other hand, have NEVER worn white shorts in a designated home game (pre-season and finals excluded).

Collingwood, on the other hand, have NEVER worn white shorts in a designated home game (pre-season and finals excluded).

And we have your old fashioned, stubborn turd of a President to blame to that.

• White with navy vs black with white - it's ok but I think that Collingwood donning the ol' braces (or some other not-so-white-stripey jumper) wouldn't be a bad idea.
• Do the Lions wear red or maroon in Tasmania?
• Looking forward to Richmond's clash in a "big game"
• Melbourne in red again

 

[Hank93]

Dogs in red would have provided better contrast. Still, full white v full royal blue will be effective.

 

[hitthepost]

So long as Dogs in Red doesn't involve white shorts against North.

 

[Hank93]

Why do West Coast wear wings v Adelaide but all white v Fremantle? Surely Crows is a greater clash with gold numbers and hoops incorporated?

It's only as good/bad as wings vs Adelaide/Carlton/Melbourne

 

[NM_Mitchell]

That's not Freo's current jumper though.
