North will be in their Centenary jumper
Giants in NS
Brissy in Bears?
Port in PB?

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Port in PB?

no; our home Showdown only unfortunately

I looked for posts explicitly saying if they're wearing something new, special, or specific. Though the Lions and GWS team selection posts have photos of them in the said kits while PA's team selection post has them in their standard home kit

Might just be my TV.

But sometimes (like today) GWS charcoal black looks dark blue. And Carlton’s navy blue looks black

Brisbane VFL are in the Bears jumper

Such a funny thing to me, I'm still clueless as to why brisbane don't use the fitzroy jumper... in the VFL

Port should be in clash, crows have a dark jumper. PB with white shorts would be OK.

They act like Carlton.

Probably because they are playing Gold Coast who wear red... would be a massive clash

Like Victorian Big 4 games, Showdowns are exempt from the standard jumper clash rules.

Apologies, I was referring to generally. Today would never work, but just in general they should wear that in case of clash, especially against Vic teams

And if the Western Bulldogs can revert to Footscray in the VFL then why not Brisbane Lions be Fitzroy Bears in the VFL?

 

[Billy ray]

heads up if not already known we are wearing pink next game v richmond

 

[Supercheapgiants]

And if the Western Bulldogs can revert to Footscray in the VFL then why not Brisbane Lions be Fitzroy Bears in the VFL?

Yeah agreed again, though I feel they should stick to Brisbane Lions as they aren't located in Fitzroy, but should wear the Fitzroy jumper with blue shorts or white shorts in all Vic games, and the Bears jumper in all non-vic games

 

[oak79]

Like Victorian Big 4 games, Showdowns are exempt from the standard jumper clash rules.

Yet in every other state, derby teams wear clash jumpers

 

[jumperfan]

Not a huge fan of this Saints-Dees matchup

 

[Mr Eagle]

Not a huge fan of this Saints-Dees matchup

I like the white jumper with black shorts. Dees would be better in royal blue shorts.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Looks like the type of match up I’d make playing AFL 26 lol

 

[Supercheapgiants]

After today, I really don't hate the idea of a black based candy stripe, or even candy stripe with white base like it is. Might work as a bit of a same but different home jumper for Saints

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Cool that such an odd jumper and shorts combo is now immortalised after how that game turned out.

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Apart from the obvious what are some of the more immortalised jumper/short combos

Richmond clash / white
Adelaide home/ white

 

[The Victorian]

Dont know if this is the right place to post this but new coat of arms on the All Australian blazers. Features an indigenous pattern
