One thing came out of this - I actually agree with Caro on a point. The EFC "Heritage" jumper is an abomination that should never have happened.

Morbidly obese sash represent.
I like our heritage jumper. It's black with a red sash and it's 141 years old.

How about St Kilda change their colours? They sold out with the Pura Milk nonsense, horse has bolted.
My commonsense rule is that if there is a jumper in the club's history which it has willingly elected to wear at any point, that is the go-to clash solver, before the obligation to wear a clash strip. So if we're deemed to clash with St Kilda, that clash needs to be with every St Kilda jumper, not just the current incarnation. In other words, if your jumper is sacred, it's sacred, and if you've deemed in your history that it's not, then it's not.

Here's the solution to the Port Adelaide clash:

I quite like our grey jumper, I can't be the only one?
I don't mind it, at least it preserves the integrity of the sash, whereas other suggestions are very shithouse and dare I say 'Hawthornesque'.

I'd like to see red shorts, it'd eliminate all clashes IMO

I could probably live with us inverting our jumper for clashes- red with black sash.
90% red with a bit of black on one shoulder and at the opposite hip. Black numbers with white outlines

It's still black with a red sash, but it's closer to the GC jumper in colour scheme. Problem solved.

It really should be that ******* simple, except the AFL saying red couldn't be the predominant colour due to it being 'dark'. Words do fail.

I actually think the grey clash is the best we could have done for a clash guernsey. A jumper that is mostly red looks too bright IMO. Gold Coast have one of the worst home jumpers in the league.

The very fact it's even considered difficult to tell any teams apart on television is ridiculous. There are no two teams whose home jumpers are that similar that it's that much of an issue. In my view, anyway.
It's all just for casual AFL followers and the northern states.
