Would be a handy excuse as to why you decked a teammate you didn't like

That's a first ballot hall of famer. 0.5 on the contrastometer. Doubt even the AFL could top that.
I don't understand why it wouldn't be policy. Can't even pick the home or away team.

Take the blinkers off FFS
They ticked off the 2019 QF and you know it. Same as how they're ticking off Geelong in white shorts for every game but in the same breath they're ticking off North in blue.
You underestimate their incompetence.

Lol, It's a 50/50 chance. Just pray that Carlton finish higher so they're the "home" team just in case.

Great use of the clash jumper by Carlton, but this is a perfect example of how awful Port’s number panel is.

Yeah those half black half white guernseys are a visual nightmare.

I dont really get the tiny little navy bib on the top of the Carlton top. But overall its a mostly good contrast (would be perfect if not for the stupid Port number panel)

Clubs could consider wearing a non-club colour for their away kits so that they don’t clash with the colour palette of the home team. I know sensible ideas aren’t really on brand for the AFL but I reckon it’s worth a shot!

Need to go through and pick the worst clash for each season since 2007

It's a non issue. Get over it.

I disagree it definitely causes unnecessary issues against some combinations of dark/light. Its so much more aesthetically pleasing and easier to create contrast against when there is a solid major colour front and back. Having a half/half back like the number panel is an issue. It may not be the worst in the whole comp but its part of the whole poor uniform policy the AFL has

There's also the fair view that home teams can wear whatever colour combination they want, or don't have to concern themselves with light and dark.
There's enough shades and colours on the spectrum that the onus is on the away team to provide one of those uniforms.

I do agree with this. Clubs should be brave enough to wear different options more often. For example I would be happy if the Lions would embrace the bears colours and wear the yellow with maroon highlights sometimes (even away in Melbourne). Its so much better when there is a clear difference between the two teams

Carlton had one of the best clash jumpers in the league last year with the all white strip.
No idea why they had to put the blue at the top of the jumper for this year. Doesn't look as good.

Doesn't look as good, but no less effective as a clash kit - the 2 Carlton kits should never be an issue if paired appropriately

I absolutely advocate for home teams do what they want but that Port number panel is rough.
The natural best contrast with their black kit is a white kit, then they have half the back of their jumper white.
It eliminates the best natural clash color from being that effective.

It was never an issue up until we changed to the BIB and then BIBNP.

it's up to the away team to come up with something isn't it?
the way to go is to have multiple guernseys, Carlton should have navy blue, white, lime green, pink, yellow. it's 2024. this is the way the AFL has gone with everything else. milk everything. there's no reason not to. there's no reason to have teams with such similar colors have such weak alternate strips - a team who are blue and white having a white and blue alternate strip is stupid, make it a brilliant color, there's no "Heritage" lost, there's no confusion, nothing except 1) more money to be made and 2) a better spectacle on TV. which, again, is all the AFL care about, so what is the hold up? it's nuts.
I always think the front should match the back wear possible - and same with shorts.
ie, GWS back should be charcoal at home (orange away), and Port would be better full black back.
If your shorts don't match, be prepared to wear white shorts at Home.

100% this.
Heritage is for home games in front of the people who actually care about it. Nobody else in the league gives AF about your heritage.
Away kits are all about function and money in that order, not trying to hold onto scraps of your home identity.
Grow up ALF.
