I already know Hawks v Tigers is going to be ugly.

Apart from that, Carlton in clash for the first time, and the Bear is back in Brisbane. Pretty decent round for matchups

adelaide v carlton will be ok as adelaide not a big 4 so carlton will wear white

melb should be in navy shorts v west coast, but will be in white

Navy shorts would make the clash too messy imo, should be in red to really step away from both being in blue.

Nah its fine and been done before

Do Melbourne have the Navy red back still? I assuming not, but I feel like last couple of times we didn't know about till they ran out in it pretty much.

The side panels on the few clash look crap imo. The indigenous details is a neat idea but in action its invisible.

What will Gold Coast wear vs Brisbane Bears home kit?

What will Gold Coast wear vs Brisbane Bears home kit?

All red.

Crows jumpers look washed out already, especially the gold.

VFL Brisbane v Gold Coast was...
OG Bears maroon shorts v All Red.

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Richmond and Hawthorn was messy at times, I think Tigers need a black backed jumper for the matchup to look nicer

 

[Bald]

Trying to figure out if I'm mad about maroon v red shorts

 

[justlookingaround]

This is the weirdest matchup I’ve ever seen

 

[seaforthswan]

This is fine enough

 

[Supercheapgiants]

It's not perfect but I'm not offended by it. Would've liked the pink jersey to get a run tonight

 

[Matele]

tonight’s matchup is.. fine. But it’s bothering me for a reason I can’t put my finger on.

The original Gold Coast team v new Gold Coast team

QClash was a mess!
