Brisbane Bears heritage jumper and maroon shorts would have looked mint today.

I doubt we'll get to wear the maroon with gold, sadly

When you see it

That's a 4 premiership point penalty right there. 8, even, just to be sure!

Oh that’s a nice gesture to do, legend of the club.

I wouldn't say there's a push to abolish them - just to use more practically

Ie it makes no sense for teams without white to wear white short against teams that do (ie Roos, Cats, Pies & Swans)

AFLW has shown there's many games they aren't needed at all.

Cats v Freo they were used correctly - the team with white jumper wore white shorts.

Hawks v Bombers they were also useful.

Just wished they'd never put teams in white shorts v Roos

That's fair enough, admittedly abolish is a bit of an obtuse word to use but I do agree there are circumstances where they are redundant and introduce a bit of a clash where there otherwise wouldn't be. I just think for that matter there are bigger fish to fry than the HAW vs ESS example we had on Friday.
