Yes, looks ok, not entirely sure why they've done it though

I like it, looks better. We could narrow ours too. Footscray had joined hoops for a few years back in the day so a narrower gap could work too.

No top back sponsor for Port tonight, Hawthorn would've been better off wheeling out a replica of their mid 70s to late 90s guernsey

Amazing how quickly our brains have been trained that there should be something in that space. Don't mind the retro feel of having nothing there!

The "Tasmanian" Sponsor for the Hawks guernsey looks completely invisible aside from the up close shots

PAFC finally told GFG to GAGF?

They even had KFC on the back of their home guernsey against Richmond as well as on the away and the retro only just last week, don't know why it's absent this time

Minor nitpick but it really annoys me that the umpires are in a light blue/teal colour tonight. Is it really that hard to find a neutral colour for them to wear? Pink or red would have been perfect tonight.

Pink are for the runners, and red in umpires circles nowadays are for first year umpires (usually just wristbands or caps).
Personally I have no issue with the umpires in blue tonight, looking on the field blue, black and gold are all strong contrasts.

Hawks look so much better with an entirely gold back, would solve almost all of their clash issues as well.

You're a bit late to the party with that one

While our footy back then was abysmal, the Hawthorn jumper truly did peak (at least in a polyester era sense) in 2005:

I never liked that Puma collar though, it always ripped.
