Reckon Collingwoods white jumper looks better anyway. Umpires didn’t need to wear yellow with Richmond playing, but overall looks good.
Jumper clash fails

Richmond are in black though right?
Nobody has ever clashed with the colour used just on the sash.
I agree there’s no clash, just seems pointless to wear yellow at all when there are so many other choices. Shouldn’t complain though, looks great on the TV.

It's just as pointless to change colours to remove a clash that doesn't exist.

There is a clash! Collingwood should wear this jumper all the time anyway

Between whom? Richmond in black and the umpires in green, or Richmond in black and Collingwood in white?

There is a clash between Richmond and Collingwood's home jumper

And nobody was saying otherwise.
Genuine question, is yellow the default colour for the umpires?

Lime green has been the default for umpires since about 2012.
This is what they wore last night.
This year, one match most weekends in the second half of the season the umpires have worn yellow shirts with plain grey shorts (no side-panel) and lime green socks, as part of the sponsorship with Chemist warehouse.
One or two games they wore red shirts with a yellow shoulderblade, grey shorts and socks, not long after the CW deal started.
For Richmond "clash jumper" games this year they've worn a darker green shirt with the default shorts and socks.

Good to see Carlton telling Nike to stick it with their grey jumper, and revert to the all white clash strip...

I recently saw a Youtube video of part of a 1989 match at Carrara between the Brisbane Bears and Hawthorn, and the Bears were wearing their gold jumper with the maroon BB insignia, number and trimmings, and Hawthorn their yellow jumper with brown stripes and number.
Aside from the Hawks' yellow socks and the Bears' maroon socks, this was one of the worst jumper clashes ever.

The Bears brought in the inverse for that exact reason a season or so later.

Pretty sure we switched our colours around in 1989 too because of the same team. You'd think that Hawthorn would've provided the template of what to avoid, but clearly not.
Not sure if this was the game or not, but it got brought up on the WCE podcast that one day the bloke who was responsible for taking all the kits over to Melbourne brought over the wrong kits for a Bulldogs game.
They had to go to some random jumper supplier in Melbourne, it was almost impossible for them to tell each other apart on the field apparently

Bears especially, as their colours were originally brown and gold before switching to cerise and gold.
Bit like how the Gold Coast chose Red Blue and Gold as their colours, good thing there wasn't already a team with red blue and gold based in Adelaide and a team up the M1 that's maroon blue and gold *shakes head*

Clashing with Adelaide is minor as it's not like Adelaide's main colour is red. Carlton and Geelong have the same colours with no issues, after all.

White shorts are stupid and look gross.
Big victorian teams (carlton, richmond et al) wearing their home jumpers as the away team because "muh tradition" is the most *ed thing i've ever seen.
It really is diffcult to take the AFL seriously sometimes as a professional league.

I know, but given how many options they had (when they were deciding I sent them a submission to partner with Southport including use of their name and colours, never got an email back). I daresay a re-brand isn't that far off.
Hawks look like they are refusing to wear anything but brown and gold for 2019

Who do they clash with? Adelaide somewhat. Somewhat. I think that's it, and as a clash jumper advocate I can live with that one.

GWS now. Eagles was a problem for a while actually GWS clash worse with Sydney
