Never really understood the hate on the gold clash back in 16-17. Certainly was good to see a club wear a non-white clash, and even though I think the white one was better (love seeing all three club colours used in equal proportions) the yellow wasn't necessarily bad. BLK definitely didn't do it justice though with how their yellow turned out.The 2016-17 gold jumper was an interesting one. Seemed to be either loved or despised by large parts of our supporter base. The hate was not so much due to losing because it didn't actually get much of a run and we ended up with a 3-2 record in it. It was more because many people had gotten used to a white jumper (after nearly everyone being dead against it when it was first introduced in 2010) and just didn't like the brighter base. Its usage in the infamous game against North in Hobart where they scored 10 goals to our no score in the first quarter certainly didn't help people warm to it either. Whats interesting is that despite the hate for that one, I feel like the current gold clash has actually had a lot more support. Maybe the design being closer to the home jumper is all that they needed to feel better about it.
