Discussion Unique/rare guernsey combinations

[Gibbsy]

This is pretty sweet. This Richmond guernsey was never used in an official game but got a run in a practice match against Carlton in 2004. It's the same template as the silver-top taxis guernsey used next year for the Wizard Cup, but yellow instead of grey.

Here's another one - the Dogs playing the Saints in a NAB Challenge game from 2006. The Dogs only had one game in the NAB Cup before they were knocked out - against Melbourne - and one would assume this pre-season jumper was too clashy to wear against the Dees, hence we never saw it

This match-up is pretty ridiculous. Two light guernseys. 2008 NAB Challenge.

Chalk this one down for a stupid match-up as well. That Hawks guernsey... okay in theory, terrible in practice.

 

[Gibbsy]

Okay, this is sick. Not great for contrast from the back, but the blue and red is awesome.

More cool NAB Challenge match-ups between two alternate guernseys. 2011.

See above. Ugly combo this one, though.

Two guernseys cut from the same cloth.

I really like this Fremantle combination. Clash jumper on Purple shorts. Reckon it would still look good with the chevrons.

Wow I thought I dreamed this jumper matchup as a kid

That's a very nice match-up, quite similar to the Freo Derby which always looks good

Sick match-up and plenty of Puma Kings too.

hang this up in the louvre - this is a goddamn masterpiece.

Loved those puma king boots as a kid. They were the first with the little flap over the laces that I ever saw. Thought they were so cool.

'Puma' and 'cool' are incompatible.

Puma Kings are just wannabe Adidas Copa Mundials.

JLT Cup this year - Port in white jumper/black shorts vs North in royal inverse/white shorts.

I like that set up for Port.

Another odd one of us in our clash gear with black shorts from 2005 I think.

 

[Cainozz]

Gotta love the clash jumpers that the noughties dished up!

2013 pre-season match at Docklands - St Kilda vs Sydney, not sure why we wore the full clash kit. Didn't look much better actually being there either.

A bit similar to one posted before - through 2000 the Saints wore the hot cross bun with white shorts, even for home games (before that became our away uniform in 2002). Round 8 - Saints at home, but in the white shorts and Adelaide in away with navy shorts.

Kmart on the Saints shorts? I’ve never seen that before, did this last a while?

One of my favourite match-ups, jumper wise and game wise was the Eagles & Crows 2005-2006 rivalry. Love the gold and white boots on Ben Hart with that Crows kit and the classic white puma's that Judd, Cousins, Cox & Kerr used to wear.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Still think it could’ve been white rather than grey and been a pretty good clash jumper.

And we could wear red shorts with our red jumper, and have three strips.

Is there a reason Essendon haven't just gone with the Richmond style inverse strip, red base and black sash? Is there something significant about the sash itself being red?

Did you know that the Essendon Football Club has a constitution of which states that every guernsey that represents the club until forever ends MUST have a red sash?

I didn't even know that clubs could have constitutions.
