Here are my predictions for this week. Pretty straightforward stuff unless I'm missing something. I think Collingwood had the clash jumper in their last away game vs Brisbane so I expect to see that again. We should be seeing Adelaide's 2024 version of this design for the first time as well as the one time this specific Good Friday jumper from North will get used unless they use it in another season. Can't imagine seeing anything other than these 16 uniform sets though.

Doubt Carlton wear the clash

No way they won't imo, They did last year and North have gone the darker route again for the good friday jumper, can't imagine the AFL ticks off both sides in dark jumpers when this isn't one of the rivalries that would be exempt.

They were in their home last year, but I agree, both jumpers are darkish blue with a white slab in the middle

Oh wow, guess I'm mistaken then. That's a shocker though, hopefully it's not the case this time around. This year's North might be just a touch darker so hopefully that makes a difference to what Carlton wear this time.

Can confirm Carlton are in the clash

The bib on the carlton jumper looks s**t

The numbers are awkward, the yoke doesn't go down far enough on the front, and that Great Southern Bank box is still very much a yuck.

 

[Feraligatr]

What do people think about how the numbers go into the back yoke of Carltons away jumper.

I think the overall design is atrocious, just go white lol

I reckon they should bring back the baby blues!

I actually like the idea of a yoke, in fact I made almost this exact same design many years ago, it may have had an outlined monogram too which was before they started using it on previous clash kits. I just think they needed to be more careful with positioning. The overlapping number is bizarre with the amount of room they had to work with.

I know I keep posting it everywhere but here's my efforts to navigate the GSB logo with a yoke, swipe to slides 4 & 5 to get to the designs:

I get the nod to their heritage but to me, it's too frilly.

Although I'm a fan of baby blues, wouldn't have worked today.

I'm in the just go white camp for Carlton - reverse jumpers are simple and work

 

[Prison bar Pete]

Can't help but love that Crows Away jumper (curse them!)

 

[Mr Eagle]

I don't mind it, but I think the very simple sponsor logo helps the overall look significantly. Front is just bleh, though.

 

[Freo16]

That Crows clash jumper is one of the best in the league I reckon

 

[Dazzler9]

What the heck happened to Adelaide's clash jumpers?!! They had a perfect set just a few years ago. Main guernsey was mainly navy and the two clash kits were mainly red and mainly yellow. All three were the classic Crows design. Perfect!

And now we go back to cartoon animals. Horrific!

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Interesting, swans are the only away team not to wear white shorts this week (most likely). Wonder if there's been a time recently when all away teams are in white shorts

 

[TY24]

We might be getting pumped but the lights at Marvel make the gold wings absolutely pop. NB’s colours are spectacular.

 

[Barrybran]

Richmond v Sydney is a glorious match up

Came here to say the same thing, looks unbelievably vibrant. With how few yellow jumper there are in the AFL, this one looks so unique. Richmond’s clash is too fluorescent, Hawthorn’s leans towards orange a little bit more, and Adelaide’s old one was a tiny bit faded. West Coast’s just looks to be in the perfect sweet spot, wish they would wear it against us tbh.

I would love nothing more than to see us wear it with blue shorts at home a few times a year, even in our away derby. It’s my favourite jumper/shorts combo.
