Clash or No Clash?

[linga_is_no1]

Bobby Davis reckons that Geelong will be forced to wear our clash strip because the pies dont have one. Just quietly this is a disgrace we finished higher and its our home final therefore we wear what we want to wear. Apparently the AFL is making an annoucement about the strip sometime in the morning, anyone heard anything?

Pies should be made to wear the clash but if they dig their heels in I couldn't give a stuff, We will flog them in any colour.......except maybe the Carlton M&M Blue

Funny you put up a thread about this. I just put up a post about this on another thread.

Usually, I don't mind. But this is a preliminary final, we are the home (and better) team. Stuff Collingwood, they dont have a say in this matter. Besides, dont they have a jumper that is more white? Couldnt they wear that?

****ing wear pink n purple for all i care. Geelong SHOULD wear their original jumper.

Excellent passion Shell. Yeah I'm with you on this, we shouldn't have to change, we sorta did finish on top AND won our first final after all.

I still believe a change jumper isn't required. If you can't tell the difference between black and white vertical stripes and blue and white hoops, you need to get your eyes checked. It may have been valid 30 years ago when games were occasionally played on mudheaps on gloomy afternoons, but not anymore.

Collingwood should just wear what they wore last week...white with black stripes and white shorts..

we wear our home with navy blue shorts...

no clash...

 

[BIGDAVE]

Even their clash jumpers clash with ours, both have prodominantly white backs.

I'd be happy to wear the hoops with white shorts and let them wear
their black sh*t.

Then next week we can wear our home colours against whoever

Thanks Partridge.

Mmmm, I don't know if it totally unnecessary to have a clash jumper. Remember if you're upside down in a pack, who knows which way is horizontal or vertical when you're trying to get a handball out.

Anyway, Collingwood, im mean the AFL is making a decision on it right now apparently.

Easy solution, Geelong wear their normal jumper with white shorts, and Collingwood wear the predominantly black number with black shorts.

Simple!

But I like Geelong in the navy shorts!!!

Kidding, whatever. As long as we're in the jumper we'll be wearing GF day. (God, the arrogance?!?! Where is it coming from?? I used to be nervous... )

Just putting the lid back on. One week at a time.

Have you got tickets yet Partridge?

Yep. Mooney d'King has once again thrived under finals pressure and prevailed. Somewhere behind the goals, Punt Road end.

 

[Budda 230]

Wear the HOOPS!!!!! Our Home game, our ******* choice!!!

Very simple until you get a whole bunch of Cat's fans complaining about wearing white shorts to a home game ....... j/k

Seriously, it is the most obvious solution - the Cats look much better in their hoops.

 

[someday-somehow]

who cares...let the baby have it's bottle!

 

[Bryceson]

Brian Cook said on SEN this morning that we'll be wearing our hoops, white shorts and the socks with white tops, and the pies will be wearing their predominantly whtie jumpers wioth black shorts. That to me would make it more of a clash than if they wore their predominantly black jumpers.

 

[Ricardo]

Both Collingwoods jumpers 'clash' with ours.

Just a hypothetical, say we made it to the GF and played North Melbourne, would either team wear a clash jersey like North had to for the Qualifying final?

 

[imfabs]

If that's the truth of it then that's ridiculous.

Should be
Pies black back with black shorts v Cats white back with white shorts.
Or, Pies white back with white shorts v Cats blue back with blue shorts.

Seems pretty damned obvious.

What is obvious to me is Eddie and his cronies should suck it up and get a proper clash jumper. The argument that it 'rips off' the common supporter is a load of crap.

If it wasn't the case why then when you go to a home game you see so much other bullsh!t articles up for sale with the Pies logo on it ?? There is no difference, the problem is that fat prick thinks he's standing up for the average wage supporter.

When really he is standing up for utter stupidity, and a lack of vision.

No... he thinks he's standing up for the Collingwood brand, as he has always done.
Please note that as a result of him being so adamant about keeping that brand during his tenure as president, if it was required collingwood could just as soon pay your club enough money that they would happily wear their clash jumper, home game or not.
There is a reason Collingwood manages to flourish in a crowded market, and it's not blind luck.

It's all nonsense anyway, first, if you can't see the difference between horizontal stripes as opposed to vertical, I sure hope you haven't got a license, second, as I pointed out the two teams can look significantly different on the day without stupid clash jumpers simply by putting some thought into it.

 

[STC]

It's our home game, the Pies should be wearing their clash guernsey, not us.

 

[doofdoof]

Neither team is wearing a clash jumper

Common sense prevails

 

[MOONEY 21]

NO home finals ( i dont care what anyone says, MCG is not our home ground) when we finish on top

and made to change our strip, i think geelong is getting the sharp end of the stick.

 

[Mr Sensitive]

i have no problem wearing white shorts... as long as we're in the hoops it's all good.

With a name like Imfabs I'm a little doubtful on your integrity to put one plus one together, oh wait, look in the mirror and count your teeth.

The so-called 'brand' of the club is the magpie, that is your logo. The strip doesn't have much to do with your club, in fact it was proven on this forum that the Pies jumper has never always been the black and white stripes. If I were you I'd take a look at Manchester United, who own the book of branding. The own a plethora of uniforms for when they play opposing clubs from all over Europe, great for the brand, on a global scale.

And in direct quote to your argument of stripes vs hoops, yes that is the case, however both the players and commentators had problems in the last game, so where does your argument stand?

Collingwood flourish in a crowded market ?? I think it is a little more than just a 'brand', it is a simple demographic. Same goes for Richmond, bigger area to gain a supporter base, more people equals more supporters.

The AFL should set more stringent policies in place so Collingwood has to follow the correct suit, have a more appropriate 'away' jumper as they haven't, in this season specifically, earned the right to wear their home jumper.

And yes, I hold a license, I also hold a few others. It is simpletons such as yourself that listens to the ridiculous rhetoric spewing from the man of many chins in McGuire, and totally believe it.
