Brisbane vs Melbourne has the potential to be messy. Similarly Collingwood v Port; there really needs to be a distinguishing colour rather than just shades of black and white.

The rest should all be fairly status quo. I'd have Gold Coast in their clash jumper, personally, but I don't see it happening.

 

[Orange Paradox]

Have a suspicion that North wear their new clash guernsey against Freo this week, even though wearing their home with white shorts would provide a perfectly fine contrast anyway.

Collingwood v Port should contrast pretty well with us now having the white clash jumper. I loved the silver one but it left a lot to be desired in terms of contrasting from Collingwood.

I'm still not a great fan of the contrast with Port in all white, in the same way I dislike Freo in all white away to Collingwood.

Always wanted to see GC in the blue against Essendon and St. Kilda, just kinda made sense. They only ever wear it against GWS, Swans and Brisbane, why not wear it more

Could it be a potential to see hawks in brown away with brown shorts?

I was thinking that, I'd doubt it, but if it happened i'd love it

 

[plugger15]

Teal jumper for port is much needed in this match up. Suns SHOULD wear clash but won’t

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

Reckon this is our first game vs gws at home since they ditched the white clash, should be interesting to see what they go with

Melbourne will be in clash/White, haven't been allowed to have both teams in home jumpers since early 2000's

I meant to write the clash there, not sure what I wrote

 

[Freshwater]

Why do the Bulldogs have to wear white when playing the Lions away. But when the Demons play Lions away they change from their home to wear essentially Bulldogs colours?
I advocated for years for Melbourne to wear this royal as their clash, which works perfectly against the dark home teams, but the level of logic in AFL clash jumpers defies belief.

 

[Timewaster]

I'm not a big fan of the over-the-number sponsors, but Hyundai works well for Brisbane. The colour is not that intrusive and the word mark fills the space well. Good placement

Time for a NBA-like inventory and presentation of uniforms.
Home, Away/Clash, Alternate.
High contrast as the priority, coloured shorts included.
Still use traditional jumpers as much as necessary.
Im a sucker for history and all but clear viewing and distinction from all angles and distances is the way forward.
Im sure the broadcasters at least would be onboard with this.
ps BL v Melb tonight was doable but not desirable

Hawks Brown Heritage jumper being flashed on insta, should be worn v Sydney

Could it be a club-based decision?

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Could there be any chance we see St Kilda in the og crusader clash with red or white shorts tonight?

Confirmed, Saints wearing og crusader clash tonight v dogs

 

[its been done]

No clash guernsey for Norths tonight but how good is the OG Crusader Saints kit? Hopefully St Kilda wear the Crusader at a home game this year

 

[Mr Eagle]

OG is a fun throwback. The need for the red edition is unavoidable, but it's nice that they've got this as well.

This Hawthorn jumper looks more maroon than it does brown. Brisbane Bears vibes.
