The graphics for 01 and 03 both show the logos on them. The ten logo was not present in 2002.

Is it just me or is it a bit weird that the logos are facing that way when the BHP logos face towards the "camera" position.
Would they have made more sense to be flipped?

No different to what they’ve been doing for the mens GF for a few years now.
Will be interesting to see what they do this year though, given that Telstra now own both sides of the arc. Do they give up the space for GF day or do the club logos get moved?

The old Coca-Cola logo covered covered half of the wing!

Will the curse of the red arc continue this year? 5 on the trot for the blue arc teams.

Remember they use to flip a coin at a luncheon for who wears white shorts, perhaps they need to flip now for who gets the blue arc?

This was a thing?

iirc and it hasn't become false folklore, it was used until 2010 when the Saints won the coin toss to wear their home and Pies in the clash.
Then Ed pulled out some long forgotten about, ancient rule that said the higher ranked team got to choose, which I think is what we now use

Ah, of course
So Eddie doesn't like Collingwood's traditional strip (black stripes on white base?) Makes sense as to why it was changed when he was president then!

I think it was more standing his ground on the "home" team, than the jumper itself

I actually hope it's true - this board has had some wild rumours before and they are never true

I always thought it was Adidas that pushed the change

I always thought the team with the most white on their jumper used the white shorts

Yes and no. One could argue that. Port in 2004 vs Brisbane is one example, Geelong in their recent Grand Finals. Although in 92 and 94 Geelong were in blue shorts while WCE were in white shorts. Geelong were in white shorts for 95. Adelaide in white shorts for 97/98.
Far too inconsistent.

Although the Brisbane vs Port example is interesting - during the coin toss, the umpire is heard telling Voss and Tredrea that Brisbane are the home team as they are the reigning premiers....
Can I ask, why haven’t the AFL toyed with the idea of painting the arcs in the colors of the teams? Broadcasting issues?

Pretty sure the NRL do it with their try lines (or tried it once or twice?).
No reason why it couldn't work.
In fact, is there any valid reason as to why one arc is blue and one is red? Traditional?
Because very few local grounds have the two colours. Usually it's one colour or it's all white.
