There are no end of discussions on jumper clashes in the AFL, state leagues and other sports such as the NRL, but which matches either past or present were played between teams with the greatest contrast in jumpers?
In the present AFL, this would be between Essendon (black and red) and North Melbourne (royal blue and white). Pre World War 1 University (black and blue) and South Melbourne (red and white) were complete opposites. While University have been gone for 104 years now, you can see the equivalent in the WAFL with East Perth (blue and black) and South Fremantle (red & white). SANFL teams Sturt (light and dark blue) and West Adelaide (black and red) could also look no more different.
In the NRL, Cronulla's sky blue and black colors contrast sharply with Manly's maroon and white jumpers, while former clubs Newtown (blue and white) and North Sydney (red and black) were opposites. One of the strangest contrasts would have been in the late 1990s between former teams Gold Coast Chargers (jade, black, purple and gold) and South Queensland Crushers (tan, dark blue and maroon). No jumper clash there.
Which are some that you have noticed?
