Richmond in white shorts with Home confirmed tonight.

North potentially wearing blue shorts? I doubt it will happen but we've got to stay hopeful

 

[From The Pocket]

So, umpires to wear blue because they think Richmond should be wearing yellow, but Richmond won't?

I thought I was lying.

I know I'm posting my predictions after the first game has started but I would've gotten that one right anyway so it's whatever. For the OGs who do remember these little icons I'm using, yes I remade these for the 2024 season, will be uploading them all to an Imgur library shortly.

Not fully sure what shorts North and Geelong will be wearing but white seems most likely, I'm guessing the promo shot of Zurhaar has blue shorts because that's what they wore for photo day.

I would have thought Richmond would be more open to wearing the clash kit. Especially after winning a flag in it

Farcical isn’t it.

Every year we get this stupid round 1 matchup. Even the league themselves have got them in knots

Dogs in white? Based on previous years I'll doubt it happens unless I've missed something saying it is

The umpires should have a red or pink shirt for match ups like tonight's game.

Purely a guess, I kind of forgot what they normally wear vs Melbourne but going the clash jumper would be ideal. Possibly just me being too idealistic but then again I also didn’t think Collingwood would’ve gone the clash against GWS and I can’t remember if they normally do, but maybe it’s a sign of things changing.

I can't say I am an OG, so this is the first time I have seen these little icons, and they are AWESOME!
I agree with all of your predictions, expect for the Bulldogs. I hope they would wear there white clash but I doubt they will.

Glad to hear! I can't take all the credit as the original ones were made by Jones2ByrneJones years ago now but they are very good for sharing predictions without needing to use images that take up a lot of space or file size. I ended up uploading every somewhat realistic combination that could get used this year and there's a few clash jumpers with dark shorts but they're mainly symbolic for when Indigenous Round happens and they can be used without needing to make icons with the actual artwork. I thought about making a thread for these and if that's the best place then I'm happy to do so, but in the mean time here they are.

I'll be updating the Imgur album when needed but I'd also recommend possibly downloading a zip file with all of them just in case the album disappears.

Swans awesome in the red shorts white top

 

[Heardy_101]

I'd like to see West Coast wear the Peril in more away games (eg this afternoon against us) but probably won't happen.
