Part 4 - COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES



Shorts: Black for home (sometimes white depending on clash) - Black for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Go back to white base and black shorts like Collingwood had their entire history before 2000s
• Get rid of the random collingwood logo above the sponsor

Away:

• Bring back black base for Clash to be worn in games against teams like Geelong
• Bring back the Swooping Magpie!

Additional info

• If Collingwood were to go back to the white base home, this would resolve all clashes in their rivalry games against Carlton, Essendon and Richmond
• So do it please!

Shorts: Maroon for Home + BLUE for Clash

Changes:
Home

• Change cuffs to blue (I don't mind the yellow either now)
• Update lion on jumper (Someone please tell me who made this lion! I forgot Thanks)

Away

• Make a full Fitzroy kit
• Change Lion to fitzroy monogram
• Wear blue shorts instead of white

Additional info
- Wear bears kit with maroon shorts in every QClash VS Gold Coast

I love the concept of removing the cuffs, i have recommended it to the club before. Your challenge with the away is that it isn't a clash solver at all, that's why we have the yellow kit as a third. Solid concepts, though.

Part 5 - ESSENDON BOMBERS



Shorts: Black for home - RED for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Nothing
• Apart from wearing red shorts away VS Carlton/Richmond/Collingwood with the home like in the 80s

Clash

• Nothing
• Apart from wearing red shorts instead of white

 

[memes_about_carlton]

Part 6 - FREMANTLE DOCKERS


Shorts: Purple for home - White for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Bring back the ANCHOR PLEASE.
• Purple changed to a lighter purple rather than what looks like now sometimes Navy

Clash

[memes_about_carlton]

Part 7 - GEELONG CATS



Shorts: WHITE for home - Navy for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Wear white shorts most of the time (Looks sooo clean like Real Madrid)
• Take away cat badge from bottom of Ford

Clash

• Change back to one of the 2000s clash jumper with the cat face
• Wear whilst playing away VS North melbourne (and collingwood now but would prefer collingwood to wear swooping magpie even whilst playing home VS geelong)

 

[Saucy]

Love them all, so far.

 

[1990crow]

This is fantastic. Look forward to GC and GWS.

 

[memes_about_carlton]

Part 8 - GOLD COAST SUNS



Shorts: Pink for home - White for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Go pink full time (Looks good and sets apart from Red/Yellow/Blue like Lions and Crows)
• More vibrant pink/two tone pink
• Pink shorts

Clash

• Inverse of home with a white base
• Looks classy I reckon

Additional info
- This means that in every Q clash the matchup would be full pink Suns VS Brisbane in Brisbane Bears kit with maroon shorts (as it is the Queensland game)

 

[memes_about_carlton]

Part 9 - GWS GIANTS



Shorts: Orange or Charcoal for home - Charcoal for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Change to Giant G design (as they are the Giants)
• Puts them apart from a Brisbane Lions template like they have now
• Puts more orange on the kit + The back will be orange therefore reduces Clash with dark teams if GWS wears orange shorts (As they are the Orange team and should pump that up)

Clash

• Since home is light, Clash is a dark base
• Has to be never surrender, such a nice kit

Changes:

• Change to Giant G design (as they are the Giants)
• Puts them apart from a Brisbane Lions template like they have now

Clash

• Since home is light, Clash is a dark base
• Has to be never surrender, such a nice kit

I reckon the home would look better with charcoal collar and sleeves.

Part 10 - HAWTHORN HAWKS


Shorts: Brown for home - Brown for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Remove brown shoulder pads
• Remove hawthorn logo under Tasmanian sponsor
• Remove stripes on the back of jumper so it is an all gold back just like it was in their dynasty era

Clash

• Since home is light and now majority yellow, don't need a yellow clash so clash is a brown base
• Go to iconic hawk design
• But tweak that design to have a brown base/back instead of the gold one

 

[SammaGilberto]

That goldy clash is ELITE

 

[Rhodesy]

Keen to see the rest of these. Clean designs so far, nothing looks out if place.

PART 11 - MELBOURNE DEMONS

Changes:
Home:

• Remove MFC emblem under sponsor

Shorts: Maroon for Home + BLUE for Clash

Changes:
Home

• Change cuffs to blue (I don't mind the yellow either now)
• Update lion on jumper (Someone please tell me who made this lion! I forgot Thanks)

Away

• Make a full Fitzroy kit
• Change Lion to fitzroy monogram
• Wear blue shorts instead of white

Additional info
- Wear bears kit with maroon shorts in every QClash VS Gold Coast

Interested as to why you have the yoke so low on these?
Typically it cuts through the sleeve holes like you have with WAsh's jumper, but with your template you have it going under them

PART 11 - NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS



Shorts: Royal blue for home (wear white shorts when playing Bulldogs or Eagles) - Royal blue for clash

Changes:
Home:

• None

Clash

• Royal blue backing instead of white backing like they have now
• This means that they have a dark jumper they can wear when they play geelong
• Royal blue shorts

 

[memes_about_carlton]

Part 12 - PORT ADELAIDE POWER



Shorts: Black for home - Teal for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Change completely to original away jumper
• Looks so much more interesting and cooler than current I believe

Clash

• Inverse of home jumper
• With teal base as the colour is unique and I believe Port should embrace the teal looks so cool
  

Additional notes

• I know Port fans are gonna hate this redesign and I am sorry in advance lol.
• I just really think teal should be embraced as current jumper set and current logo is just so boring
• For SHOWDOWNS every single one regardless of being home or away, Port wear the Prison Bars with white shorts (to ensure they don't clash with adelaide's home)

Love it, really like how the teal jumper keeps the design element black and white like a magpie wing. Also while we’re at it, big fan of that Gold Coast clash jumper, reckon it might be the perfect clash for them if they went down the pink route full time.

If I may offer a suggestion regarding the jumper design swaps, one of the biggest game changers for me was doing the following to my texture layer/s. Obviously experiment with the settings but apply them in this order (or reverse order when you actually look at the layers tab). Pretty sure this is the order at least
1 - Image>Adjustments>Black and white
2 - Image>Adjustments>Levels
3 - Filter>Stylise>Oil Paint

Number 3 is the big one, I have no idea why it works, but doing it very subtly and with no brush texture just makes the folds flow in a pretty natural way. You might lose the definition of the stitching or whatever, but that’s easily fixed with the pen tool or the brush tool or whatever. If you or anyone reading this ever wants some help putting this tool into practice, don’t hesitate to reach out and I’ll do my best to help run you through it. Keep up the great work!

PART 11 - NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS

View attachment 2459547

Shorts: Royal blue for home (wear white shorts when playing Bulldogs or Eagles) - Royal blue for clash

Changes:
Home:

• None

Clash

• Royal blue backing instead of white backing like they have now
• This means that they have a dark jumper they can wear when they play geelong
• Royal blue shorts

That's pretty much the direction most North supporters want the club to go with our kits, except we wear Royal Blue Shorts in all home games. The all Royal Blue with the White 'V' is another jersey we hope to see more regularly in coming seasons, especially for home games against Collingwood and Geelong and perhaps the Eagles and Dogs.

Part 13 - RICHMOND TIGERS



Shorts: Black for home - Black (maybe yellow?) for clash

Changes:
Home:

• Basically nothing, just deeper yellow instead of highlighter yellow

Clash

• Again basically nothing, just deeper yellow instead of highlighter yellow
  

Additional notes
- Instead of white shorts when in home jumper playing away (For example vs Carlton), wear yellow shorts!
