Jumper clash fails

[Hawthorn United]

Isn't this more of a clash than had the Power worn their black jumper?

Yeah, don't get why they didn't just wear black jumper and shorts, North white for both.

Or Port wear white shorts, and North blue.

The whole white shorts = away team is outdated.

AFL doesn't care about clashes in the JLT. they allow the clubs to wear whatever they want.

I really really hope we wear our away top against the Bulldogs if they wear that "thing".

Would solve the all red backs issue. Still wouldn't look great but that is all on the Bulldogs, due to the horrible thing they are wearing.

Take what’s logical, and they’ll do the opposite.

Just wear white shorts. Problem solved. Get your eyes checked! /S

The main issue with AFL jumper designs are that the front and back are different colours or shade. Having a dark back, light front, makes it difficult to have a clash to fix it. Other teams have to then have a contrasting design for front and back.

Hawthorn's 2008 clash/away jumper was terrible for this reason, with the dark brown back, and white front. Looked terrible against Fremantle, and they wouldn't have had a jumper to cater for it.

Oh no, I won't be able to tell who's playing for who because I only have a 12" black and white portable tv and really, really bad reception and my glasses broke...

Simplistic view and classic reductio ad absurdum. Richmond have a jumper that would contrast much better than their current choice. Anythign to help everyone tell teams apart is a good thing imo.

Does anybody even know why Richmond wore their clash strip in the GF?

Clearly they wouldn't have if they were playing one of their 'big 4' rivals.

Which is ridiculous since they clash worse with some of them than with Adelaide.

Since 2015 when it was introduced they’ve worn their yellow clash strip away vs Adelaide and because they were the ‘away’ team in the GF that rule still applied.

The Carlton v Richmond clash isn't too bad... why not just have the Tigers in yellow shorts instead of white?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Richmond should wear the yellow against the blues away.

I honestly thought that once they'd worn their perfectly good clash strip in a Grand Final that we were final done with this childish refusal to wear a clash strip. It appears not.

Because it was much better than looking for shorts all game and apparently in hindsight they didn't have a 'but rivalry' excuse to get out of it.

Because the yellow shorts (tried in the 1970s) looked terrible (not quite as bad as Essendons red ones). White shorts look far better.

I think we're all waiting for Carlton to pick a clash jumper that they're not embarrassed by, and then the AFL will finally get serious about forcing them to wear it.

Well they won't if the AFL don't make them wear whatever monstrosity they've conjured up in any given year, will they?

They've gone back to the white/reverse strip which is probably the best they're gonna get.

The light blue with navy monogram is a perfect clash
Its still blue
Only potential clash is if North wear their blue based guernsey, go white base and it's fine.

 

[Hallstrom]

I don't mind the light blue jumper but with light blue shorts as well it looks pretty horrid. I think the all white with navy monogram is our best option.

Carlton are being short-sighted constantly changing their clash jumper imo. Just pick one and stick with it until it becomes part of the club's identity.

'But we're the Navy Blues, not the [insert colour here]'

Yeah, yeah, whatever. We all know you actually wear black anyway, everyone but Carlton supporters can see it.

Is it something board candidates wheel out every election? "Grrrr, we're the Blues, big bad AFL, vote me". Not like the members are interested in anything financial.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

The stupidity on display here...

 

[Hawthorn United]

If the "We're the Navy Blues" is a legitimate excuse, then Richmond should be in the yellow jumper all year.

They're "Yellow and black", not "Black and yellow".
