I'm hoping that the uniform manager made a mistake, as opposed to this monstrosity being planned.Can't believe we've pulled it out again
And whiteI love it. We are purple.
we lost because of the jumper?You see? You see what happens when we do this dumb s**t? Let this be a lesson to us.

There was just no need for it at all. Even the other times when we wore it against GWS wasn't needed when we could've just gone full purple with no clash.Didn't know whether to post this in here or the vent thread, but what a f**king dog's breakfast that was yesterday.
Just a messy, confusing mix of one half dark, half light team playing another half dark, half light team. And both with dark backs and white numbers. I reckon there was at least two occasions in the first qtr where players gave a deliberate quick give to the wrong team.
There's two pages devoted to our game in the clash strip thread on the main board, with all the Pies fans commenting that it was terrible live too.
It's the first time we've ever been mentioned in that thread, other than previously being used as an example of how clash strips should be done properly. One of the few things we've previously done well and now we can't even get that right anymore.
Do you think they don't care or are just incompetent?I can only imagine it was a desperate ploy hoping Collingwood would pass us the ball by mistake.
I'm genuinely disappointed the club has become a contributor to this amateur mindset so prevalent in the backwards VFL portion of the AFL.
One of the best things we ever did was take a stand and wear our white jumper in the GF after the AFL told us we had to wear white shorts with our purple jumper. Now we seem determined to devalue the white strip that's been a core part of our identity for nearly 20 years.
Has to be incompetent, they cared enough to bring back the purple/white combo (Which Noone was asking for)Do you think they don't care or are just incompetent?

I won't lie, I actually like the purple jumper with white shorts and would love to see the white jumper with purple shorts at some point as well.
Yeah someone needs to bring this up at the next members meeting, it's ridiculous
Our colours are purple and WHITE, the clash strip is good, it's actually one of the best in the AFL, it genuinely prevents all clashes that the purple doesn't
Why did we change our clash strip to have indigenous sides and then start wearing it less? We literally improved the design and then started wearing a terrible purple on white combo in some games instead?
How can the club get something this simple so wrong?
