I believe the AFL consider red to be a light colour, so teams wearing their dark coloured shorts do not clash with them.

Whilst at the Melbourne vs Brisbane game on the weekend, I noticed that the Lions were wearing their white clash jumpers. I thought the deal with the Lions jumpers was that they would wear the old Fitzroy one when playing away in melbourne. So anyone have an idea why they wore the white clash jumpers on saturday?

Its thier clash So they wore it because of Melbournes red.

but IMO the 'red' Fitzroy jumper doesn't clash with Melbournes jumper. I can understand why they wore it, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of having the 'red' away? are they not going to wear it against Essendon because they have red as well?
It's a strange, strange world. My dad tells me of a time where teams didn't have clash jumpers yet they could still tell them apart. Even on his black and white TV.
I was thinking of making a thread to decide and define what clashes and what doesn't. Although my idea takes a certain level of organisation that I'm not up for at the moment.
Well that makes more sense than essential fish habitats.
That's because your dad lived in a time when football was kick, mark, kick, mark, handball, run , kick, mark, kick goal. Watch some of those flashback games on Ch 7 and see how the speed and the style has changed. Watching a replay of the 1984 GF between Essendon and Hawthorn is LOL material. There was never a clash because even if you were watching Collingwood v North Melbourne in the mud at Arden St on a B&W tv the game was so much slower it was still obvious who was who.
This really changed in the 2000 GF when the speed of the game started to really take off and it was a blur of red and a dark colour, even the players were getting confused.
well if they are harder to tell apart, then there is a clash, Even if you put the jumpers side by side and there is not. That's why that process is a waste of time.
The speed of the game is the problem for clashing, the closer they are the harder it becomes. However, I can still remember the odd games between Collingwood and Geelong in the 80's where commentators complained how hard it was differentiate especially when raining.

apparently it, like our other two strips, clashes with richmond
By that logic, I guess Hawthorn does too?

That is, to quote the French, "un loade de merde". But so long as the club is unwilling to fight it, this is what we get.

Just a few questions that I have been thinking about....
If Brisbane were to make a GF would they wear their VIC jumper or their home?
And with the introduction of GC next year, will this force Sydney to wear white shorts in away games against them (assuming GC wear red shorts) ?

Depends on the team they were playing (light/dark clash) but I think home would be the best bet.
