Discussion AFL Captain's Pick 'All Star' Game

[Silent Alarm]

So Caro reckons the mooted All Stars game will be the school-yard style captain's pick. Evaluation, criticism, or support aside, Pav and Luke Hodge will pick a team each.

So, what kind of jumpers will each side wear?

There's no state relevance. There's no geographical division at all.

I reckon we'll see ISC or Sekem stump up the jumpers. What about sponsors? Will NAB take the reigns considering this game is essentially a make-up for their lost relevance, via the ditching of the NAB Cup? It better not be black vs white. And although I reckon one will be, all-white strips just look so soft for Aussie Rules.

So maybe this thread can be used for discussion and ideas. Merge Gibbsy if you see fit, whatevs.

Interesting exercise. Premiership captains...

I think we'll see a black v white or a red v blue colour scheme...

I have an idea. I'll quickly mock it up.

The obvious colour scheme is probably red v blue. However, if NAB does sponsor it, which looks likely, they could have a say in making it red v black.

Or, if they combine with Cadbury as sponsers, itll be similar to the 9's scheme (Purple and white vs White and purple)

(replace toyota with NAB, probably)

Impossible to tell them apart at the ground. They are too similar and I hope they don't do this.

I was working on something with paint but I just... yeah, stuffed it right up.

My idea was one team wearing gold with black cuffs and collars and an outlined sash (ala the Essendon clash, minus the red inside). Either side of the sash would the ultra in vogue writing. Not sure what it would say, but it'd fill the jumper out a bit. Maybe just copy the 2008 concept of every country club? This team would wear white shorts and hooped gold and black socks.

The other side could wear the black shorts. No idea what colour.

A logo could be the obvious AFL one with a circle around it. The top half of the circle having the players club colours on top, with the regular 'AFL All-Stars 2014' on the bottom?

Maybe one side to be called 'Wills,' but then who's the other? I reckon going after historical figures would definitely be the way to go. The other idea having the televised team picks at Etihad. The last, or first thing, the captains do is flip a coin decide an end of Etihad. Whatever end is picked by Hodgey or Pav is the name of their team: so if one picks the northen stand, they'll be known as 'Lockett.' 'Coventry' for the south.
