It’s a really nice shade, very similar to the mid-00s Nike. Looks great

looks shite

too fluro

The wolf grey shorts just need some loops on the waist for a belt. If it's good enough for the Yankees...

 

[Andonis1997]

Not sure if it looks as bad as essendon did for 1 or 2 games with their grey shorts

The thing is, Adidas made 3 pairs of shorts for Essendon.

Nike are slack.

On clashing Shaun Grigg has a handball directly to a Carlton player in the last quarter and gave a bit of a shocked look when said player ran off in the opposite direction.

Now given the game Grigg had I’d say it’s generous to call the handball an error because of a jumper clash but still seems odd Carlton weren’t in the grey given both jumpers are predominantly one very dark color.

That happened near us - that was just stupidity

He was surrounded by blues and passed to a blue. Just a brain fart

That works because of their length. Make it shorts and it looks s**t - even with a belt

The umpires need to be sponsored by One of these companies.

I think it’s more the fact that “New York” and the side panels are also grey so the top, you know, actually matches the pants.

Fwiw i didnt notice the side panels in that shot. They do help though

The back of Carltons jumper (grey bar on top and cfc logo above number) teamed up with the grey shorts with the stupid sandpaper patches is a an absolute mess

 

[The Cheesecake]

It's amazing the difference a proper collar can make. Adelaide looks so much slicker with the new collar

Aside from the "Adelaide Crows" and "Geelong Cats", what other clubs keep their mascot name in their team name on channel 7?

The shorts really arent the worst thing in the world, as people seem to make it out to be. They are bad, but not terrible. And it makes sense. Their clash kit is all grey, Nike wouldnt make white shorts for some games that Carlton play

Simple solution, only wear the silver top with them, problem solved!

Umpires are without a sponsor.... oh dear!

Well it was pretty embarrassing for the eyewear companies that sponsored them.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I reckon the "Hybrid" wordmark looks really neat on the Crows. Really tidy sponsorship.

Why? I reckon it was great marketing.

Gold Coast with the special privilege of having suns capitalised as well

It looks really clean but I wonder the effectiveness of just the word without the logo. Hybrid what? He is a hybrid man-machine?
For us who know the Crows are supported by Toyota it's ok but at a broader level I'm not so sure. At least with the C-HR one it's not a standard English word appropraited for the name of a car.

I never understood the need for that.

I note the crow on the shorts is facing east. Good job ISC.

Is it just me or are the umpires' numbers significantly lower than last year? Looks like they're almost getting tucked in to their shorts!

I thought it was the same height as last year but they've brought the font in line with the players jumpers. Looks better but should be higher on the shirt.

When they play WCE/Freo will they have it facing west?

It's the same height, just looks lower without a sponsor above it. And it can't go higher cos the back is in two panels, there's an old-school Adidas-style arch across the back.

Word up Noctorniquet

Can't really mirror it with the wording underneath the rapter thing
