Nah definitely not. Using such a large corporations name for something like this feels wrong. Besides nobody calls Optus Stadium the O.

I’ve heard it referred to as the “Boodome” before

 

[TBellicious]

I wonder if Carlton v West Coast has the potential to clash. There is less yellow in WC jumper than normal, and they usually wear their royal blue against us away.

Two things to summarise multiple posts over the past two pages:

1) Covid has clearly impacted team logistics in regards to when/if teams wear their Indigenous jumpers. Like many, I was surprised to see no Indigenous jumpers in the Richmond v Adelaide clash but a lot of these fixtures weren't meant to happen over these rounds so I'll cut teams some slack.

2) Teams wearing their Indigenous jumper SHOULD diminish the impact during that one round. Without getting into politics, the reason we have these rounds is to highlight and celebrate Indigenous culture. If Indigenous culture were part of our everyday lives there would be less reason to highlight it once a year because it would be part of our everyday lives.

I'm all for clubs wearing their Indigenous jumpers outside of Sir Doug Nicholls round.

This randomly reminded me of the 2011 semi final where west coast wore white shorts as the home team..

Grass is cut circularly at Giants Stadium.

You know, up close the Melbourne guernsey is stunning (to the point I had it in my top 4 (along with Adelaide, North Melbourne and St Kilda))
But from a distance it's a disgusting blur.

 

[Swamps alias]

socks clash. literally unwatchable

 

[Swamps alias]

embarrassing sock clash. amateur hour again at the afl

 

[Swamps alias]

legit annoying me srs

 

[Mr Eagle]

How do you screw up numbers, Melbourne? Anything in double digits looks incredibly awkward.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Changed my mind on my criticism of the AFL last week, WTF were Melbourne thinking with this jumper? Why isn't it on a red base?

 

[parano1a]

Melbourne's jumper looked like Port Melbourne in wide shots. There was an excellent contrast between the strips though (socks aside).

 

[thequarry]

Might be set for a lot of red, white and black out there if both teams wear their indigenous designs at the SCG today.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Collingwood have been wearing their clash against Adelaide in recent times, I wonder if they will again this weekend? Their indigenous design does have a fair amount of white on the front though.

Common sense prevails with Sydney deciding to use their normal jumper

I don't think it would have been much of a problem if they had worn it. Would have been one team in mostly black and one team in mostly red, the bit of extra black on Sydney's front wouldn't have had much impact.
