The blues guernsey defintely looks a not as dark shade of navy this year

Dont think they look black anymore like they used to

When was the last time a company sponsored more than 1 team in the AFL?

Both GWS and Carlton have Virgin Australia as a jumper sponsor

Carlton guernseys are baggier than basketball jerseys from the late 90s...

I wasn't expecting anything less, but I gotta say it's pretty discouraging when it's Night 1 of the pre-season and we already have our first clash for the year. Essendon shouldn't be wearing their home and they certainly shouldn't be introducing white (something that I hate when the opposing team's guernsey contains white). It's probably in the upper third on Stormy's old "contrast/clash" scale.

The shorts definitely create less of a clash, though I was under the impression that the JLT was a reason for clubs to fit-up with their alternate kits in order to increase their sales. Why wouldn't they want to do this + create less clash?

Essendon are deemed to clash with Freo who have lighter guernseys than Carlton, but not Carlton.
Good to see nothing's changed.

About what? It’s a clash and if you argue otherwise then you’re gonna be fighting a losing battle on this board.

Where do we see who the AFL deems "clashes"?

In this case I'm deeming it by the historical fact that Essendon have most recently worn clash, not home, against Fremantle.

 

[hitthepost]

zero clash

Tbh it's not about personal opinion it's about the application of the rule. Given Essendon aren't allowed to wear black vs Freo (and if they could they would), logic therefore dictates that a team with nearly exactly the same kit but in a darker colour would also be a "clash team" for Essendon.
Whether anyone thinks either of those matchups is a clash or not is irrelevant in this situation.

AFL probably still think freo have red panel on their anchor jumper

They would use that as an excuse to allow Essendon to wear their black jumper with less red on it

 

[Fizzler]

zero clash

But also zero contrast

But also zero contrast

Can someone link stormy’s thread

 

[fancyscum]

inb4 the black and white TV 'argument'

 

[magpienato]

The clash itself isn't too bad, I can deal with that. but it's just the lack of consistency which is the worst part of it. If a=b and b=c, therefore c=a. If Essendon v Freo clash and Freo v Blues clash, therefore Essendon v Blues clash. Sorry for the math lesson but the AFL badly need one.

 

[TY24]

zero clash

Navy and black clash. Indisputable fact.
