Probably, I'm the only in the world who does not understand the difference between Clash and Away. What is?

Away jumpers are worn in all away games where there isn't a clash.
Clash jumpers are worn in all away games where there is a clash.
Although, people are incorrect and often use the terms interchangeably.

And using even a bit of your knowledge of Australian football (I'm Brazilian, I still have much to learn). Correct me if I'm wrong. "Clash" is like a Rivalry? (AC Milan Vs. Inter Milan, Liverpoolvs. Machester United, Brazil vs. Argentina, Orlando Magic vs. Miami Heat, Examples)

Clash jumpers are for when two teams home jumpers are too similar in colour or pattern to be differentiated. So the away side will wear a clash jumper to avoid any confusion between the two teams.

You are correct that "clash" can mean a rivalry. But, in this context, "clash" is like a clash of colours, where it is difficult to distinguish between the two teams when they play, because their guernseys are so similar. "Clash" can be a noun or a verb.

Examples:

and

This is Carlton's home guernsey and Port Adelaide's home guernsey. Both are predominantly dark guernseys and if Carlton and Port Adelaide wore these guernseys when they played each other, it would be difficult to distinguish between the teams because their guernseys are so similar. This is called a clash (noun) - i.e. Carlton's and Port Adelaide's guernseys clash (verb) with each other.

and

This is Carlton's home guernsey and Port Adelaide's clash guernsey. Port Adelaide's clash guernsey removes the clash between the two teams.

and

This is Carlton's clash guernsey and Port Adelaide's home guernsey. Carlton's clash guernsey removes the clash between the two teams.

This is Gold Coast's home guernsey.

This is Gold Coast's away guernsey (not their clash guernsey) which they wear in away games where there is not a clash.

This is Gold Coast's clash guernsey (not their away guernsey, but is worn in away games where there is a clash)




Note: 99% of the time, the away team will be wearing the clash.


Hope this helps.

Away - jumper worn at matches that aren't at the team's home ground

Clash - worn when the home or away jumpers look the same or similar to each other, so the team not at their home ground wears a jumper that is completely different.

Hopefully that puts it in some easy terms

 

[Mero]

So when Essendon play StKilda at Docklands...?
It's Home ground to both...


I'd say it was:
Away jumper is a jumper some clubs wear for all games where they are listed as the Away team.
Clash jumper is for when the Home and Away are listed as clashing with the jumper of the Home team.
Every club has a Clash jumper, some use their Clash jumper as an Away jumper, others have an Away jumper that either has a link to the history of the club, like West Coast & Brisbane, or is similar to their Home jumper, like Gold Coast.
the Clash is designed to be different from the Home jumper.

Also, each club has to have a Light uniform and a Dark uniform.
From these the AFL decide what they will wear in games.

And then there are exceptions. Some clubs (North and Hawthorn) have jumpers they wear at interstate games only (correct?). But this is usually dubbed a clash jumper, and will be worn when necessary when not interstate.

Can anyone give me some insight as to how I'd go about making my own template?

Do you want textures or just a plain guernsey?

 

[johnfrombrazil]

If you want to do this from scratch, you can trace the jumper, shorts and socks over photos, using the pen tool.

Plain guernsey, designs, collars, etc.

 

[johnfrombrazil]

Plain guernsey, designs, collars, etc.

If you want to do everything from scratch, I said yesterday, use the pen tool. If you just want all parts, simply download templates and use parts of it.

 

[Andonis1997]

Plain guernsey, designs, collars, etc.

What exactly are you looking for? If it was worn in a match? Or if it was lying flat?

So what's the deal with SANFL's red point posts?

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/03/1048962883309.html same as this?

 

[Silent Alarm]

Nah. South Australia do things a bit differently. One of those is that the point posts are entirely red, like, they don't have any white on them at all. They also give two points for a win (one for a draw), work out percentages in a different way, and credit point-kickers as well as goal kickers.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Interesting think i learnt a few years back was that football park had square point posts until 2004

 

[Maxwell110]

So what's the deal with SANFL's red point posts?

I've only seen red point posts at Prospect Oval which is the home ground for North Adelaide. I guess it'd be because North Adelaide's colours are red and white. I may be wrong though, I haven't really seen much of the SANFL grounds.

Thanks for all the interest guys, Chris Elliott was my uncle (played with South Melbourne) he was good mates with Russ Hodges at South before he went to Fitzroy, after he had moved over to Fitzroy they swapped jumpers.

http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/players/C/Chris_Elliott.html
He was number 36 and never played for Fitzroy.
In fact, he never even played against them in the seniors.

here's the Footy Record from his finals appearance.

Mero, with all due respect, may Chris Elliott have played for Fitzroy in the reserves?

According to my uncle who played for Port U/19's in the 80's, they were to easily distinguish the goals from point posts while on the run or in the pocket.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

like when malcon blight kicked a point running into a open goal square!
