The GIANTS will have a bold new look at Marvel Stadium on Saturday Night.

There you go. That's 4 different jumpers in the first 9 rounds, isn't it?

Against Richmond.

The team they were forced to wear white against in the GF

*Scratches head*

1. Didn't want to wear white shorts at home. Switching to their inverse in home matches "allowed them to wear blue shorts" (From a Twitter post at the time).

2. When the change became official they released a statement saying they didn't want people to think they were the away team. (From their website).

It's a pretty piss poor reason and honestly, the club should have taken it to the fans.

yet now norf wear their away kit all the time when they play at home

Exactly. They didnt need to wear white in the first place.
Go back and watch PF 2017. Orange/white shorts v black/black was sweet to see

 

[Andonis1997]

Much like many interstate clubs, I wouldn't think they would care about wearing their away kits. But the Giants home kit with white shorts is a classic. It was even more of a classic with more white but...

 

[Gibbsy]

Seems like a quiet day on the board! The Pies just wore their standard home with black shorts today. Obviously no reversed sponsor version.

 

[lionbear]

Blue/white instead of white/white.

Was only having some fun.

Traditional worked for them well today

How long before GWS change there Battle of the bridge jumper to a full orange G make that their home with tonight’s jumper as there away/clash?

 

[E92_]

Absolutely no reason why GWS can't wear orange or even charcoal shorts tonight. White shorts is such an archaic rule/tradition/bullshit.

If it's popular enough, there's no reason why they shouldn't. I honestly would be surprised if they weren't testing the waters.

Remember, the Saint's Cross jumper started off as a preseason jumper and Port's current jumper started off as a once off.

Hopefully from 2022 onwards, they’d be the ideal set up. Maybe orange shorts with the orange jumper though.

Dogs in blue shorts would look better. Port have a lot of white in their number panel

Shame the Bulldogs didn't keep their red kit. It basically eliminated any need for a white kit and it was bloody beautiful.

Wouldn't be a great loss if the club got rid of white. Orange is iconic, and the each year ever slightly darker charcoal contrasts beautifully.

I noticed today a few North players (Young, Powell and Menadue) were missing the Shinboner number under the collar on the back

 

[SC26]

Really love Bulldogs guernsey this year, even with the weird collar. Red cuffs great addition.
By the way saw before that Asics extended with Bulldogs for five more years couple months ago, don't think that news made its way here?

That’s great news about Asics, thanks. And I agree, love the red collar and cuffs. Even better when we wear the white shorts, great colour balance and a good contrast to all the dark uniforms.
Now we need a game cold enough to see the new hoops on the long sleeve guernsey, no one has worn one this year.

 

[Red Crow]

Thought the adelaide red was a one off

I certainly felt that was the case. From memory, the online store page for the red jumper suggested it was for the Hawthorn game only. Its been pulled now though so I can’t be sure. Interesting to see what we indeed run out in tonight, but I can’t see the gold being a problem if thats what we wear.

Umpires will be wearing fluoro green. Usually when anyone is wearing a gold or yellow clash, they swap to sky blue (even if royal blue is also on field). So red seems likely.

the new strips GWS have used this year (ie. this one and the one vs Sydney) are so bland they feel like training tops.

 

[Prison bar Pete]

On the Bulldogs jumper, last night at the game and looking at their game last week on TV, the collar and cuffs looked pinkish to me from a distance. Close up they're definitely red, so make of that what you will!

 

[Gibbsy]

Old Classic logo still...?

 

[The Cheesecake]

Any chance Crows wear red today? I want all those primary colours baby

Umpires are apparently in yellow today so logically you'd think they'd be in red.
