Yep its happening. They can wear one jumper and one jumper only with either black or white shorts.

If they get a jumper that is as black as it is white and doesn't clash with black teams or white teams, I really hope they still have to have something else for games against Geelong and North. Gonna be worse than it already is!

Pies jumpers look mint. Just look more “Collingwood” in white

Swooping magpie return?

When was the last time the umpires wore yellow?

Good Friday I believe, but I may be wrong

Since early-mid last year one match has been designated 'Match of the Round' and the umpires wear yellow rather than the green. I think it's a tie-in with Chemist Warehouse

Does anyone else get the vibe that Collingwood will be moving back to white based jumpers in the next 5 years?

I think we will be moving to make black kit for all home games, and clash kit for all away games. I don't believe we will phase out the black kit entirely but I wouldn't mind a 50/50 split between the kits. As much as I like our white base, I still have a quite a sentimental connection to the black base so I would hate to see it go entirely.

And besides, the black base is needed for games against Geelong, and possibly North.

Monday. And once a round for a bout the last 12 months before that..

I've been saying this for ages but no one seems to angry when I post it.

All their one-offs are white based, they're more liberal to wearing their alternate (which is white).

Geelong being in navy shorts more is probably a sign there's a dialogue, or at least awareness, from the AFL about a white Pies jumper.

 

[TBellicious]

Collingwood should always be in white.

Hopefully he'll finally hit some Port targets

Bounding Roo long sleeves with stripes on the sleeves

WTF is that?

Looks shithouse, way to ruin a classic guernsey.

Stripey sleeves <3

Bounding Roo long sleeves with stripes on the sleeves

Looks bizarre, did the 90s version have stripes on the long sleeves?

 

[Dazzler9]

Looks most odd

 

[Dazzler9]

Just put a hoop around the bicep and a hoop around the forearm and that would suffice. Not full hoops though. ffs

 

[SwampCreature]

I actually like the stripes on the bounding Roo sleeves, even though it does seem odd, if that makes sense. Mixing elements.

IIRC correctly though the original 90s version had solid blue sleeves on the longies. Although I can’t find anything through a lazy google search. Mero any idea?

You are right, this is all I can find though

So ugly it's beautiful

Yeah, the original had solid blue, but I think that they would have had to add some extra white given it it meant to be a clash jumper and doing the hoops still keeps it looking 'classic north'.

I don't even know what "Classic North" means anymore. There is barely anything left of their identity. Even the black numbers have been gone for a couple of years.

 

[Timewaster]

White sleeves would have tied in okay with the shoulder panels. The stripes are way too messy. North have done another Homer with this longie

Thank God.
Black's not a North colour so as soon as they could print the numbers not stitch them on they should have changed.

It was a historical North element, it had been around since 1933 (just checked) and broke up the blue and white really well in my opinion. Like Gibbsy mentioned earlier, this is just another small part of their identity they've lost.
