Okay, so I am creating this thread on the premise that I have nearly a full portfolio of jumper designs that I want to post. I realise it may be a bit premature and if Gibbsy feels the need to merge or delete then that's fine by me. I'm also happy for this to be changed from a Portfolio to a Discussion thread.
Basically what I've decided was to re-think the whole Home/Away Team and Clash jumper predicament that the AFL is in at the moment.
It's probably going to be a confusing concept for most at first, but basically the idea is to throw out the current 'White Shorts' and 'Clash Jumper' policies. This doesn't mean there will be no clash jumpers because, as you should know, they are an absolute necessity for every team in the league.
My idea is that teams should be wearing their 'Home' or 'Traditional' (whatever you want to call it) kit (hate that word) as much as possible. Clashes are not solved based on Light vs Dark, but rather (my) subjective view/opinion on whether the colour and design combination of the two teams' 'kits' warrant a clash jumper.
White Shorts Rule: White shorts are only ever worn by a team who A) has a white or light home jumper or B) has a clash jumper that is considered lighter then their home.
Geelong and North Melbourne wear white shorts in some, not all (these will be specified later), home games, whilst Hawthorn are the only other team to wear White shorts with their Home Jumper, but never for home games.
Anyway, I'll save some explaining for when I post individual teams' jumpers so we'll kick things off with the Crows:
ADELAIDE:
Home: Worn in all Home Games. Worn in away games vs. Collingwood, Fremantle, Geelong, Gold Coast, GWS Giants, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, St.Kilda, Sydney, West Coast & Western Bulldogs.
Clash: Worn in away games vs. Brisbane, Carlton, Essendon, Melbourne & Richmond
BRISBANE LIONS:
Home: Worn in all home games. Worn in away games vs Fremantle, GWS Giants, Port Adelaide, Sydney & West Coast.
Melbourne/Fitzroy: Worn in all away games vs Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong, Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Richmond, St.Kilda and Western Bulldogs
Clash: Worn in all away games vs Gold Coast & Adelaide
CARLTON:
Home: Worn in all home games. Worn in away games vs. Brisbane, Geelong, GWS Giants, Gold Coast, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Sydney, West Coast & Western Bulldogs
Clash: Worn in all away games vs. Adelaide, Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle, Melbourne, Richmond, Port Adelaide & St.Kilda
More to come......
