As I understand things the clash guernsey doesn't have to be white. However it does need to have the majority of it in a colour which the AFL deems to be a light colour.

Removing a clash isn't as simple as "light" v "dark" and the AFL (finally) have realised this. It's about having contrasting colours to the team your facing. It's why you lot (finally) got a proper clash strip last year.

Um, no, it is about about 'Light' vs 'Dark'. I'd consider the shade of grey we wear to be light.

No matter if you wore the lightest grey that Adidas could manufacture, then you'd still clash with St Kilda's dark home kit. Why? Because you wear the same colours.

Why? Because one team has a red diagonal stripe, and the other has a red horizontal stripe, the latter of which doesn't even extend to the back?

Essendon and St Kilda both wear red and black. In order for for the clash to be removed, Essendon cannot simply make a light colour (red) the predominant colour of their guernsey, as it features heavily in St Kilda's as well. Essendon must introduce a new colour and make it the predominant colour, and that's what they've done, with grey. As I previously stated, this is not a simple case of light v dark, it's about having contrasting colours to the team you're facing.
In any case, you can blindly attempt to justify why you think Essendon don't need a clash jumper as much as you like, but it doesn't make you any less incorrect.

Could a Red guernsey fix this issue?

Um, I'm not justifying anything; I was one of the minority that was supportive of us getting a new clash. I'm just disputing your notion that it can be any colour regardless of shade. The colour they introduced was grey because it was a LIGHT colour. That's what I'm getting at. The primary colour on a clash guernsey must be light, it is the case with every single club.

Here's where the confusion lies. That's not what I said, although I can sort of understand how it could be interpreted that way. I meant that shade isn't necessarily the only factor in whether or not there is a clash, and that wearing contrasting colours can go a long way in removing it.

I say yes. Gold Coast wear all red and nobody considers that to "clash" with St Kilda. Sydney wear a lot of red and ditto.
Essendon in all red vs St Kilda with 33% of the front, 0% of the back and 0% of the shorts = no clash IMO.

Unless you're North/Geelong.
Anyway, they could wear bright pink, as that is different from white, even though it's still light.

It doesn't show the wave that they have had over the past few years. I am happy about that.

Well it confirms that it will be worn over the body... and that it will be paired with shorts. They're just covering off the basics first

on goodscore - i like it, although it is a little brisbane-esque, and the back is a little plain.
