North in full blue?
Do Hawthorn still have their clash/heritage guernsey for this game?
Ess vs GWS is always a mess

I’m guessing North in full white.

I’m guessing North in full white.

There was a game a year or 2 ago where North was in full blue versus Carlton full home. I didn't mind it but full white (North) would be best.

I didn’t realise that. I wonder if that was a North home game.

 

[Dazzler9]

Here's a curly one. If this was North's home game, would it be preferable - clash wise - for Carlton to wear full navy or full white?

I'm thinking full white would be a better contrast than full navy, despite North having white in their kit.

Pretty sure it was a Carlton home game

You’re right.

2018 & 2020 both team in full home kits for a North home game.
2019 Carlton home team, North in bounding roo and white shorts.

So North clashes with Carlton, but Carlton doesn't clash with North?

AFL logic.

just like Collingwood wear their white jumper away to Carlton, Essendon and Richmond yet all wear their home when they play away to Collingwood.

At least they wear white shorts.

It's the Special Rules Policy.

If North chose to wear the Bounding Roo as the away team, white was the sensible option there.

Ess vs GWS is always a mess

It is when both wear their home jumpers.
But Essendon in full black v GWS orange clash / white shorts should be fine.
Otherwise GWS may opt for the white indigenous strip for the best contrast possible.

Battle of the Bars tonight! I still propose a gentlemen's agreement that whichever team wins gets to wear their vertical stripe kit in the next BotB, and the other has to wear an alternate kit (i.e. This time Port wears their V kit, but if they win then in the next BotB they wear PBs, and Collingwood wear an alternate non-stripe kit, and so on). Considering they're both of Magpie origins, it's only fair that they become best friends.

North Melbourne’s pin strip jersey is disgusting

Royal blue numbers just don't look right on North. Should be the traditional black.

I disagree. Looks way better.

Hunter, Daniel, Williams, Bruce and Duryea all in longies

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Not a particularly pleasant matchup when the Dogs have a perfect clash jumper available.

 

[parano1a]

The Giants clash jumper clashes with the colour of the empty seats at Metricon Stadium...

 

[Heardy_101]

It was North's away game. In that same year, they also wore full blue vs Hawks, Richmond and Lions

I would've agreed with you not long ago but I'm coming around to liking the blue. It is our colour after all

I would seriously put money on us seeing Richmond in their clash with black shorts

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see any combination this weekend, including a very small chance of both teams accidentally in white shorts. However I think most likely we will see Richmond in full home, to match Rd 1, 1995.
