As mentioned by another poster a couple of days ago on the board (apologies but I've forgotten who), West Coast will be wearing their Indigenous jumper this weekend against Sydney

From https://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/734854/eagles-to-honour-naidoc-in-round-5-clash:
West Coast will don its striking Indigenous guernsey during the club’s Saturday afternoon clash with Sydney to acknowledge NAIDOC Week.

The annual week-long celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait history, culture and achievements typically takes place during the first week of July, but it has been postponed to November 8-15 this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In spite of the date change, which was put in place to protect elders and those in the community suffering from chronic health conditions, West Coast wants to honour the occasion and Australia’s first people, who have played a significant role in the club’s on- and off-field success over the past 33 years.

Further information on the design of the jumper is available at the link above

The jumper is the same design as last season, however now with the standard AFL logo rather than the gold logo, and is on a pre-order sale at the Eagles team store

Pretty straight forward round matchup wise.

Friday night is gonna be ugly.

We’ll get to see North in all white for the first time this season.

This would be nice. (see attachments)

But it won’t happen, because the AFL is not nice and big Victorian teams are stubborn.

Actually pretty neutral
I love the orange back with charcoal shorts look but I think it would look better if they flipped the colours on the front. They could then do an all-charcoal clash with the current front and a charcoal back.

Well it won't happen unfortunately because Essendon don't have red shorts made up

Looks like the retail keeps 2019’s big white oval around the AFL logo whereas the player issue does not. Unless that’s just a photo shop of last year’s guernsey.

I’ve just noticed the back of St Kilda’s clash has sub-par stripes, especially compared to the massive Deliveroo sponsor.

There's a par for stripes?
But yes I'd like them to go higher than the sponsor.

It’s supposed to be based on the 1930s–1950s guernsey, right? Which had stripes that went up to the shoulders, like the front.
Put the numbers in a panel, and the sponsors over top.

Based on, not be.
Suddenly there's half a guernsey that's black, which kinda defeats the purpose.

The Bombers jumper is nasty. On top of the sponsor spaces and the AFL logo placement, the jumper is BLK level of faded and it makes the seam on the sides even more obvious,
