Looks great but for the mutual yellow numbers adding to the back-clash.

Matchday Strips Reflecting a Reasonably Professional Organisation
yep. this is practically spot on.
only change would be for WCE. as much as most of us hate it, their home kit is the navy-based tri-panel and clubs are entitled to wear the home kit that they choose. we nor the AFL should decide that for them. thing is, if it IS their home kit, they should wear it in finals too and the AFL must enforce it. this is something WCE don't do.

once the camera gets further away from the play, they do blend. professional broadcasting with cutting to wider shots and regular changes of camera angles (e.g. behind goals) is where this kit match-up is tested. it's also compounded with both team kit designs being solid, i.e., no stripes or hoops to break up similarity, and it doesn't help that both clubs minor colour and numbers are gold/yellow. definitely needs the away team in an alternate kit.
best example I can see of what would happen overseas in such a kit match-up is Barca vs Man Utd.
these are the full home kits:
this is what they wore against each other in the Champions League Final:

And the takeover of the Preston Football Club is complete. Might as well just go ahead and call themselves Carlton, they don't even play at Preston anymore.not sure where to put this with the new jumpers for 2015 thread closed (all the more reason for a general guernsey discussion thread IMO)
Northern Blues moved on from Nike this year.
It's actually a bit sad, even as a Port supporter.
don't they have a red clash jumper?
surely that's enough to keep Preston alive

LEDified signage is still up at Linen House, and still on our clash jumper. (This photo's from today)
The LEDified website is still up, and still has "proudly sponsoring St Kilda Football Club" on the front page. I wonder if it just had to do with us playing in New Zealand. At a guess that would have pumped up our sponsorship value for that round, so maybe they just opted out for that round.

We'll see the debut of the Port Adelaide showdown guernsey this week.
I'm not a huge fan of it and I don't really see it as necessary, but we'll see how it goes. I think it will work better when we're the away team this week, as opposed to with black shorts.

Possibility of white shorts in home AND away Showdowns maybe?

It's the most logical solution.

I'm told there is no red strip this year at all, they wear Carltons white when there is a clash. The only allusion to the club is a tiny PFC on the back of the neck of the jumper.don't they have a red clash jumper?
surely that's enough to keep Preston alive
If there were any Bullants supporters left, they'd be devastated, and being that Preston was a Collingwood area makes it even worse.

But I'd say highly unlikely, sadly.
I think I see now why both Qld teams are struggling - playing like a bunch of sheilas!
Nah, tweeted the club last night asking if they had one planned and said no.
Do we need to say Showdown guernsey for Port or not because it looks the same from the front?

And we all know that's what they're gonna wear

If we the white number panel in our home game and crows wear white shorts, it'll look awful.Possibility of white shorts in home AND away Showdowns maybe?

It's a matchup seen in the SANFL every 2nd week; not terrible but just silly.

Oh yeah. Good point. I know. It is terrible Still.
Ideally in the sanfl the away team would never wear white shorts unless their guernsey was too.
Norwood/Port clashes can be horrible when N'ord wear white shorts. They should be red shorts. Glenelg yellow.
Jesus its frustrating that 'professional' organisations can't comprehend the idea of minimising like colours between teams.

I thought Brisbane wore it purely to give the clash some exposure?
Would Gold Coast wear their clash against Brisbane for the same reason?

Not sure, maybe. I just remember someone saying something along those lines last year. Brisbane needed a game to advertise it in, since it would otherwise hardly be worn, so they decided to wear it in the Q Clash.
