Clash Jumpers

[Denny Crane]

I read that the outgoing Mr Burke has stated that there WILL be clash jumpers next year either club provided or NFL provided.

What Clubs need it? Against who? Will Your Club have the money for clash jumpers or accept the NFL one? Will this be for all three senior grades or is this an issue for juniors?

Interested in people's thoughts. Apparently this is due to the GF, I can see that the Bulls and Mont can clash but interested in what people from those clubs recon.

About time. Whittlesea already have a predominantly white strip, quite neat actually.

Lalor and Panton Hill is no problem with Mernda given our move to blue.

North Heidelberg and Diamo are clubs we do clash a fair bit with. Here's one I whipped up in about five minutes for North Heidelberg, based on the 2011 Melbourne clash jumper; yeah, paper is bent a bit, also my drawing skills aren't magnificent...

I think you mean Diamond Creek

Ah great, as a design enthusiast and advocate of clash jumpers I've been waiting for a discussion on clash jumpers in the NFL. I was reading the article in the Leader where Jeremy Bourke spoke about the Bundoora/Mont GF. I think a lot of clash issues in the NFL (and AFL) can be solved by the home team wearing white shorts on a few occasions, especially in finals where there is no 'home' team. If Bundoora wore Navy shorts with their jumper and Mont wore white, there wouldn't have been an issue. Anyway I've got a few designs for a few teams:

Bundoora: vs Montmorency & West Preston

Eltham: vs Heidelberg

Greensborough: vs Northcote Park

Heidelberg: vs Eltham & Whittlesea

Montmorency: vs Bundoora & West Preston

Northcote Park: vs Greensborough, Heidelberg & Whittlesea

West Preston: vs Bundoora & Montmorency

Whittlesea: Worn vs Heidelberg & Northcote Park

Eltham: vs Heidelberg

That Eltham jumper oozes so much class.

workhorse they are amazing wouldn't mind you having a go at ours

and while we are on it has anyone from the league thought of a clash strip for the umpires seem the clubs seem to be asked to keep handing over $$$$$$$ maybe if the umpires changed we could some changes just a thought

Surely the grey in the NFL logo would work as a colour scheme (perhaps with a bit of yellow too). Doesn't clash with anyone as far as I can see.

Well done Workhorse. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into your suggestions.
There would not be many clubs over the three divisions that have an away jumper.

Yeah mate I'll knock up some Div 2 & 3 ones at soon

Should also be worth noting:
* the Heidelberg clash idea I believe they wore a few years ago
* Northcote Park & Whittlesea actually wear those clash jumpers
* West Preston wore that blue jumper vs Montmorency in a home game last year but not sure if they wore it this year

Greensborough , Eltham, Montmorency & Bundoora I came up with

It seems to be a trend that teams are wearing a couple of different jumpers in one-off games over the past few years. From remembrance Hurstbridge & West Preston wore Heritage Jumpers last year whilst Greensborough, Bundoora & Monty (that I know of) have worn charity jumpers. So clubs obviously have the money to buy extra sets of jumpers so I can't see forking out an extra couple of thousand for a clash set being a problem.

Don't change the jumpers, fluoro pink shorts & socks the league supplies and one charitable donation from combined clash games.

This is one of my pet hates with the NFL, when the new NFL came in they swept out everything to do with the old (mostly with good reason). But changing the umps from bright orange that stood out and clashed with knowbody to the current uniforms that clash with plenty of team jumpers was just stupid.

 

[Samuri Pizza Cat]

This was the class jumper that was made by a few of the players at the start of this season. I'm pretty sure they will be using it next season

What a cracker WH ! Welldone !
Panton Hill has always had an away jumper ... all white lower front and all the back with the red & black stripes & spider at the top front of the jumper

 

[jefffff34]

Eltham could just wear their pink panther jumper.
