And a decent chunk of this:
Why is that not their home guernsey? I know with the orange back, the guernsey they went with is predominantly orange anyway, but in a league where there are far too many black/blue/dark purple teams already, they introduce charcoal for no real reason? It's why I don't get all this irrational love for North's royal blue clash and the calls for it to be their home guernsey. It looks pretty good, but North has tried umpteen different guernseys over the years and almost all of them have looked great (in before Orange and Argentina). Someone thinks they should reverse the colours and people act like they've come up with an AIDS vaccine.

There's far too many dark home guernseys in the competition and Geelong, North Melbourne, Sydney and Collingwood should wear predominantly white for just that reason (and to honour their heritage).

Oh, and Asics boots. How lame.
??? Unless it was due to a sponsorship deal, I wouldn't wear anything else (maybe Nomis), playing on AFL surfaces. Come to think of it, I haven't worn anything else for about 5-6 years now.

I'm so glad the public shifted towards their current guernsey, and not the plain orange one, that option is just Gold Coast's guernsey with the GWS colours and logo.

I'm not sure how relevant it is here, however this appears to be the UWS Giants (GWS reserves) 2012 playing strip.

I really think they're on the right track with this one but it just looks a bit too cluttered at the moment.

Here's my go at cleaning it up (with a NSW-style clash version).

Maybe so, but you could say that about nearly every traditional AFL guernsey. Everyone loves the Sydney/South Melbourne sash; no-one really cares that it's the same design as Richmond/Essendon, with different colours (or, in Essendon's case, a different colour).

Would anyone agree with me that on a fair few of the Collingwood jumpers tonight the numbers looked less wider than last years? Specifically double numbers like 22, 33, it was noticeable imo. Just slightly but enough to pick up on.

Pretty sure not mentioned yet

North Melbourne will wear a jumper full of names (exact design unknoan at the moment) of the people who donated a certain amount in their debt reduction campaign, against Fremantle in round 22 at Etihad Stadium.

That's ISC's official image for GWS' second jumper - it's not known why. The real version is white and has been seen in public on several occasions. But Goodscore can only work with what they get given...

(and given that the same product is available on their website for the same price, I don't see any problem with posting it here)

Has Essendon ever worn these socks before? If you're not watching they are wearing red/black hooped socks.


Also, the Eagles away jumper has white outlines on the numbers by the looks of it.
