Unfortunately none of them are half-decent.

Bring back the classic ugly mid-2000s Crows clash strips. As much as the white Camry sponsor and the Jarmans sum up one era of the Adelaide Crows, things like these sum up guys like Ricciuto:

Hate to say it, but your 'usual' strip isn't exactly easy on the eye to start with, which makes finding a 'nice' alternative strip that relates back to it difficult.

Agree the tri-colour horizontal strip design has a bit going on, but the whole concept of clash jumpers is really simple.

Aside from good taste, what does the Adelaide Crows jumper clash with? Let's say Carlton who wear predominantly navy. The solution while retaining the colours (because away colours aren't really a thing in the AFL) is to accentuate the gold, red or white - some combo of the 3.

I don't think this would clash with Carlton, particularly with red/white/gold shorts:

They need a new design in order to sell more.
Shame how the ultimate symbol of a football club - its jumper - has become just another way to sell gimmicky rubbish. Frankly I think it's disgraceful, to cheapen the image of the club and make us look stupid on the field in order to flog a few thousand guernseys to bogans with no taste.

Do like Collingwood should be forced to....widen/narrow particular coloured strips to suit the requirement. if you want a darker jumper, make the yellow a 'just' thin line, less blue? (as per your example...thick red and yellow strips, with a thin band of blue....OK, might require 3 clash strips, but is there really a massive drama with running off a few more?
 
There's a real chance they might end up having to wear whatever that choice is in finals and possibly a Grand Final. As GUMBLETRON said, the SANFL jumper is great, and it's bold and why the hell would they use any of those awful poll options.

The SANFL jumper employs chevrons. Do we really need another chevron team to go with Port and Freo?

I think Collingwood missed a trick not looking at pinstripes.

The Crows should really just follow our lead and have 3 combos of the same jumper with different dominant colours.
