Just the toyota logo on the front of the jumper no word "toyota"
Looks small without the word toyota
Toyota is on the front as well. It's just hard to see in red. Dumb decision by Toyota when it's been yellow for the last 15 years plus, why go to "corporate colours" when it stands out less?

Richmond 2012 clash guernsey from One eyed Richmond forums:







all clash strips should be like this.. using their usual guernsey and making small changes to it.

this is done well by collingwood, richmond, essendon, st kilda (pre 2011) and north.

it is done really poorly by hawthorn and adelaide

Are you kidding?! The 'fat sash' is a blight on the game.

I agree with the last part though. Throw West Coast/Brisbane in there as well.

As for the Richmond one it's a bit meh. I would much prefer they wear a black on yellow inversion. WA has used the Swan jumper for quite a while now, so it shouldn't even be an issue. The Big-V is still in use so its not really a good comparison.

Even though the WC/Lions/Crows/Hawks clash jumpers are bad atleast they do what a clash jumper is supposed to do which is to eliminate any clash (and make money), the Tigers/Bombers "clash" jumpers hardly do the job.

The Richmond clash has a huge amount of yellow on the sides, where the panels and the sash overlap. Also, the yellow collar and cuffs really stand out..


I would say its a good clash jumper to use against the Bombers and Port.. But not as good as what a all yellow one would be.

Pretty much my thoughts. It does it's job (barely), but it could be done alot better.

What I meant to say. It could be done so much better, a clash should have a light colour as the most dominant colour (opposite if a light colour is the most dominant on their home/away jumpers) not slightly more yellow/red in Richmonds/Essondons case.




Little bit off topic but does anyone else think that the Lions Fitzroy jumper is ****ing ugly (well, every lions jumper is ugly at the moment but this more so than the others)?
