Cats in Red White and blue tonight

 

[Fizzler]

I’m crying they literally look like they’ve swapped kits in the wide shots

 

[cannavo]

The mix of navy, light blue and orange give off old Sydney FC vibes + the longy is sex

 

[parano1a]

Any word on whether North will wear white shorts against Collingwood?

Calling it now... They won't.

 

[its been done]

It's Opposite Day tonight

 

[Supercheapgiants]

They likely wont, but I wouldn't hate swans in white shorts this week

Whoever thought that Geelong should wear a red, white and blue jumper against the Bulldogs ought to be fired for that blunder....

They did it in the vfl last year v bullants looked unreal

It was non-traditional, sure, but I didn't have any trouble telling the teams apart last night.

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

No clash issue last night. But instinctively when the white team had a contestant mark or picked the ball up in a pack my
First thought was a cats possession

 

[Mr Eagle]

Visually lovely match-up tonight.

Visually lovely match-up tonight.

The red hand prints on the top back of the Richmond jumper look odd. Looks like it was designed to blend into the KFC logo...

 

[Supercheapgiants]

I really wish Lions wore either blue or red shorts today, the white looks pretty eh.

 

[lionbear]

Very Adelaide Crows Clash jumper feel to the Lions today

 

[Mr Eagle]

I'm not a fan of the jumper. Design totally kills the red base on the front.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Lions should have the Lion on front too. But rarely do we get these jumpers right.

Lions should have the Lion on front too. But rarely do we get these jumpers right.

I get what you mean, but Brisbane's recent indigenous designs have just slapped the lion on because it 'has to be there', and it doesn't seem like it's used as a design element. I was glad to see the design wasn't harmed by a lion slapped in the middle this year

Prediction or confirmed?

Confirmed, I’m at marvel

Would've made no difference if both North and Collingwood were in their home shorts

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Yeah shame we didn't see a blue short combo for their Indigenous jumper this year, would've been totally fine tonight.

Edit: Actually to add to that, North's is one of the favourites of the year, has the traditional elements but overall looks very modern.

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Don't think it was mentioned last week but Port now have Santos above the number. Also I feel like port would look alright in some white socks tonight
