How is that a clash? You need to go to Specsavers for a checkup

Agree 100% and I bet those here wanting Richmond to wear an alternative would change their mind if it was their club involved.
I'd happily wear a clash guernsey in a grand final if we played against...oh wait, we don't need one anymore!

Always remember you're the lower ranked side and you trail us 23-12 H2H and 9-4 the last decadeNo that would clash with our pink tutus. It's going to be in Victoria so we're obviously the home team so you'll have to change

Hhahahahaha
you might want to read the regulations, section 4.4 at the very least says
4.4 Wearing of the Uniform (a) The uniform to be worn by a Club during the Home and Away Matches shall be as directed by the General Manager - Football Operations or his appointee. Sanction: Up to 20 Units for each Player wearing an incorrect uniform, payable by the Player’s Club (b) The uniform to be worn by a Club during the Finals Series shall be as directed by General Manager - Football Operations or his appointee. Sanction: Up to 40 Units for each Player wearing an incorrect uniform, payable by the Player’s Club
Units = 1k each. So if Richmond did pitch up the fine be up to 40k... per player.
I believe the umpire would also be able to order the players off the ground for wearing incorrect equipment, which would then end up at this clause
if the Player still refuses to leave the Playing Surface: (A) the field Umpire shall report the Player for misconduct in failing to follow a direction of an Umpire; (B) the Match shall immediately end and the reported Player’s Team shall forfeit the Match; and (C) the Laws of Australian Football shall apply concerning the forfeiture of the Match.
this whole thread reminds me of when Eddie was complaining about Collingwood having to play Fremantle in Perth off a 6 day break.. in week two of the finals. Collingwood got knocked out in the first week
No issue from me. I think our clash Guernsey is pretty cool.
But as others have said, if this was the match up Tigers would most likely wear white shorts. That would be enough.
I am willing to tip in $250 of my own money if it helps to pay off any fine the AFL gives Richmond for playing in their proper guernsey...and I don't even support Richmond. This is about football heritage, about those that have gone before for the Tigers, the team that runs out on the field represents past players- the Barrots, Ian Stewart, Mark Lee, Hafey, Jack Dyer, Roy Wright, Raines, etc.... Richmond is NOT a product that can be bought and sold by champagne swilling social engineering executives in AFL House.
Pay the fine Tiges (if you make it to the G/Final) there will be many who want to see Richmond as it is supposed to be, not a product, but a club.

That's not what they did in the 2014 elim against port
They can change the back of the guernsey, or get them to wear different socks, but not Richmond's sash. That cannot be touched under any circumstances. If the AFL champagne chauffered socialists owned even one of the Richmond history books - eg Rhett Bartlett's book- they would realise there is a grace and unity one gets out of seeing players 100 years ago, 40 years ago, 20 years ago playing with that famous yellow sash. AFL executives just don't get what the jumper means to people. It is just a product to them.
You actually played the game?
Look at the picture again. Then look at the edge of your screen. Now tell me out of the corner of your eye whether you can tell the players apart. Then think about if you were given the ball and have about a quarter of a second to decide whether that flash of dark out of the corner of your eye is a Richmond or Adelaide player. And assume you're in the middle with scores level with 30 seconds to go. Choose wrong and the opposition gets your handball and goes inside 50, and you become forever known as that donkey that gave the ball straight to the opposition to cost his team a flag.
Still think there's no clash? But but but......white shorts!

Hah. Richmond should then call the AFL's bluff.
Can you imagine the nuclear fallout if the AFL ruled it a forfeit?
The yellow sash is an integral aspect of their jumper, their heritage, their identity and their culture.
If the AFL don't understand that then the current board should step down and maybe allow those who recognise the importance of a club's history (not just Richmond, all clubs) to replace them.

I have poor eyesight and I can still make out the different teams.
The funny thing is in on the ground situations,the players line of vision would be the opponents legs which have no colour differential bounded by uniform.
Ten years from now AFL makes players wear coloured tights. #looneybin
