Actually pretty neutral
I have no problem with the St.K kit, but the white "stripe" in the middle of an otherwise dark guernsey creates the same problem/annoyance as the WCE tripanel, so I can see why people have a problem with it.
The problem is that people want to wear guernseys that contain the same colours.
If you don't want to clash with WCE Tri-Panel, don't wear Navy or similar, ochre or similar, or white (assuming one believes there is enough white to make this an issue).
If you don't want to clash with St Kilda Tri-Panel, don't wear black or similar, red or similar, or white (the above assumption applying).

When teams have a problem creating a clash top against the tri-panels, it's becuase they're trying to (or are told to) use a colour that they actually should be avoiding. The navy ochre and white could be in Hawthorn-esque diamonds all over the guernsey and the same rule would apply - just wear red and you're fine. Or vs St Kilda, wear yellow.

Traditionally there was a lot more white on the jumper, it was fine when it was three equal panels or when the white centre panel was larger, as it was in the 1980s and 90s.

The last few years the white has become a stripe in the centre of a red and black halved jumper, which has naturally created more problems with clashes.

This years jumper is better, and I'd have no issue with tripanel home, the gorgeous new clash and the crusader strip as an away or second clash option. My one caveat is that it has a lot of red which is a very hard color to wear and make marketable. A black version with a red cross could be an option.

I think I read somewhere that the Western Bulldogs have a pre-season jumper this season, can someone confirm?
This led me to researching Footscray's past pre-season guernseys.

I'm intrigued to know of the general consensus regarding this one, used in the 2004 Wizard Cup
