Adelaide's kit really is a downgrade from last year's Gather Round guernsey.

Crows jumper is ass

 

[jumperfan]

The only "stealth" thing about the Crows' kit is the navy cuffs. False advertising

 

[Billy ray]

Crows should wear this jumper with white shorts when playing away to Collingwood. Invoke the Carlton rule

[Bald]

That’s actually a really cool initiative.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

The gold numbers look so nice on the entirely navy back.

 

[justlookingaround]

Crows gold looks orange this year

Up the Porridge

 

[cannavo]

Felt like seeing a sleeveless run-out top but the contrast between the kits was great

Honourable mention, the pre-game light show reminds me of the Port Adelaide Power reveal one

Seems like something they've tacked on in the last week, because you'd think it would be part of the marketing angle for the actual unveiling.

 

[Gibbsy]

Huh... Was the Swans jumper promoted as a Lifeblood promotion at all before tonight? It's a cool concept ("bring back the red") but I wasn't sure if it was simply confined to the white warm-up shirts, not the guernsey itself

 

[Gibbsy]

Tonight is a typical "not a clash, not a contrast" match-up.

Unfortunately the Swans' home kit would have been much more effective.

I don't find all white kits very useful against Collingwood at all.

 

[undefined]

At the bare minimum, add in red shorts and the home socks. It's just so unnecessary. Sydney should've worn this ensemble against Port next week.

The AFL needs a policy, and fast.

Seriously? It was 70% black v 99.9% white.
Contrast was very good.

 

[Speck]

This game would look so much better with white shorts

 

[joshv49]

No white shorts for North v GC

 

[parano1a]

GC looking good in Miami Vice Pink.

 

[joshv49]

No white shorts for North v GC

I would’ve had North in the bounding roo, even though they’re technically the home team.

 

[parano1a]

No white shorts for North v GC

North in home jumper and royal blue shorts is fine against any team wearing black, navy, red, purple, brown, grey/charcoal shorts.

I’m all in on Gold Coast making pink their primary home jumper. Unique among the league, suits the Gold Coast vibe, pink is the colour of the ‘gold coast sunrise’ etc.

I’d be totally happy for them to rip off the ‘Miami vice’ colour scheme

100%. Just needs a better design

 

[J_Simmo]

Would love to see a gold coast jumper mockup in the style of Miami heats vice uniforms
