Jumper clash fails

[Dirty Bird]

Personally i dont care, its your home kit, you can wear whatever you like, its on the away team to create the contrast for a home kit not you.

Also isnt your away just a fully white back (no number panel), GWS has the same back for home and clash but again, IMO that issue is with their clash kit, not their home.

But the problem is how are teams meant to find an alternative when Greater Western Sydney, Port Adelaide and St Kilda all have home strips which can cause issues.

Port's at least is tolerable in home games due to the black shorts creating a black base on the back. The problem is away to Geelong/North Melbourne and some others where they go the home kit, because their clash is worse, but then the white shorts make the back look mostly white which is an issue (Front is okay, back is a nightmare)

But St Kilda/GWS dont have that. The backs clash with the front, and how can opposition clubs design something which doesnt clash with either side? It took GWS bringing out their charcoal guernsey for games vs Sydney to fix the orange vs red back clash. But the front was never a problem, charcoal vs white. Perfect. Yes, it may seem like Sydney is making me look like a hypocrite, however, they're at least light front and back.

Again, onus on the away team. If GWS has orange and black get a green jumper.

I’m not even going to entertain the saints argument. The front of our home is 33% black and the back is 100% black the “clash” you’re referring to here is that the total of the jumper taken as 200% is 33%. Unless you want every jumper to be a block color then your argument is basically against every jumper.

Hawks home jumper with white shorts probably would’ve sufficed, but the white kit looked great.

Gold shorts even better.

A predominantly white stip away against the GWS and St Kilda avoids a clash. GWS v Hawthorn earlier this year was a dreadful clash; The strip Hawthorn wore the other night would have been fine.

This really isn't hard.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Gold shorts even better.

Yeah would love to see them wear that

 

[Chief]

Gold shorts even better.

**** how good does red vs blue look.

It's the same when Sydney play West Coast

No one clashed with Sydney or Hawthorn

Yeah add another one to the list of **** ups.

Essendon need a white or light silver kit for this game. Very hard to differentiate on wide shots.

All white with a red sash. Done

Although that would solve the clash, it's a Swans historical guernsey so they shouldn't use that design.

Split the sash, red and black. Or black outline with red

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Essendon should be in all red. This is crap

 

[parano1a]

Essendon should be in all red.

That would potentially be worse unless GWS were in the Never Surrender.
The AFL need to sort this shit out, it's not that hard.

Red shorts instead of white would be so much better

 

[north_lad]

I reckon I've seen some players get mixed up, especially early on in the game

 

[hansie]

Reckon i remember Essendon the other year had a fluoro green training jumper with a black outline red sash on it. They could use that for gws games!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Def need a third kit, all white with the sash. Against GWS, Melbourne and Brisbane away.

Red shorts permanent with the red jumper.

So we have a black, a red and a white kit.

Yet the all red strip has been a success. Especially in this thread.
The problem with ‘home team do whatever you want, away team suck it up is quite a few clash strips are needed

3 total, which is what they all should have anyway.

Home, away, clash.

If teams WANT more than that it’s up to them.

What if the home team decides to wear one of their clash jumpers. Back to square one

I’ve stated numerous times
Home - whatever
Away - away or clash

In the incredibly unlikely event that still sees an issue then away wears home.

No system is going to be entirely bulletproof (especially when it’s as subjective as does this kit create a clash) but what’s your better alternative here?

It is annoying that Hawthorn wore white against Fremantle when they didn't need to, but didn't against GWS when they absolutely needed to.
