When Collingwood were the higher ranked team and Eddie was convinced as the first named side they get first choice in kit. Hawthorn pulled the same card and forced freo to wear white shorts. Honestly I think it's a fair enough rule, if you earn the final in your state you earn the right to pick your jumper.
I doubt Hawthorn 'forced' anything.
Purple does not clash with Brown & Gold. AFL are simply coloourblind.

I reckon you earn the right to your home jumper, and shorts and socks are made to help ease the clash. I would be happy to see the dogs wear our blue jumper with white shorts and the crows wear all navy. If possible I love to see teams in traditional jumpers. Crows have a great home jumper, and terrible white jumper.

Freo had the option of just white shorts for GF, but chose all white??
But no one other than Victorian clubs have the Grand Final in their home state.
Yes. Freo consider themselves as having two kits. Purple home and White away. When they were told by the AFL to wear white shorts, they elected to wear their white guernsey as well because they don't mix and match their kits
Exactly why clubs need to design these white clash kits with their club's identity in their minds, not potential children's money.

Freo's jumper was easy to invert, whereas the inverse of the Hawks jumper is their away jumper and does not fit the 'clash' criteria.
I was specifically talking about the "white kits" in the post I replied to.
Given how many clubs have white in their home jumper, white is the last colour that should be used for clash kits.
Our home jumper with gold shorts would look wierd intiially but solves any clash and is a million times better than Power Rangers.
The fact is there are several designs on this forum which have shown that several clubs even without white as a club colour could create a unique, white guernsey with a large part of club identity displayed. The fact is that the AFL has seemingly required most clubs to create white clash kits, and the fact is most clubs simply put a cartoon on these white kits, then complain when they're forced to wear them. In England, clubs which have designs based around blocks of colour wear alternative colours without much fuss, even in significant matches such as the FA Cup finals. For some reason though, clubs here can't do without their home kits, even if it means the matches look poor on television, at the ground and in the history books.
White jumpers will look poor in the history books as you cannot tell what team is playing.
The AFL is moving away from white clash jumpers with Tigers in yellow, Crows in gold. No reason why Hawks need a clash if yellow/gold is OK for Tigers/Crows.

Well turns out the Crows jet is not flying, so heres hoping the other piece of info also turns out to be false!
Can the Crows iron on the relevant afl logos onto their reserves jumper? ...please!
Hawks gunning for the home jumper vs the WCE royal wings.

"We love our jumper coz it makes us money, but we don't want to wear it in Finals even when it's the jumper we should be wearing against that home team's jumper."
Long live the jumper that your nanna could knit!
