giants in white shorts, lions in full home it seems

 

[parano1a]

Saints really should just do a Sydney and have a white-backed version of their home jumper as a clash. With full white collar and cuffs it would work perfectly.

They did use to have a clash jumper like that. It was worn in the 2010 Grand Finals.

When was the last time the Lions wore their home strip outside of Brisbane?

Why are the giants wearing white shorts at home?

It matches their white G? I find the biggest clash in Giants home games is the orange jumper with the bright red empty seats in the crowd.

That had a much wider white middle panel though. They could easily use just the normal front IMO.

 

[Red Crow]

Very sensible uniform decision for Giants-Lions. Looks good.

Goes against everything they've been doing with Geelong this year though.

Not that they need a clash jumper in this particular matchup, though.

I'd like to see Carlton do exactly the same.

I'd like to see Carlton do exactly the same.

I really can't see how that would work at all tbh.

I would not.

How would a red back work, I've often wondered. It'd lighten the kit no end but leave the front alone

Home Jumper:
Rd 15, 2012, In Sydney.
There have been times since then that Brisbane have worn one off jumpers (using the home jumper as a base), outside Brisbane.

Home Jumper with Maroon Shorts:
2007, v Sydney, North, Melbourne, Carlton

GWS in home jumper with white shorts in a home game:
Rd15, 2013 v Western Bulldogs (GSW in Canberra Jumper).
I was at this game, and very surprised with what I was seeing.

The AFL are bonkers this year when it comes to white short policy - no consistency at all.

 

[hitthepost]

If GWS is going to have to do this periodically, perhaps they should get some orange shorts made up.

Nah, this is obviously the AFL just following the White shorts when away for all clubs, EVEN when it unnecessarily adds white to the travelling team who have no white in their colours, and DEFINITELY when you’re playing a team with a white based jumper, UNLESS you’re a Victorian Club with some sway who gets to wear what they want, BUT disregarded entirely if you’re an interstate side playing an interstate side in which we then contradict our own rule, rule*

How succinct.

 

[parano1a]

Given the AFL owns GWS, they will wear whatever Gil tells them to wear. The Victorian clubs with 100+ year histories have a lot more say in this aspect

Looks like a St Kilda/Swans merger prototype

Looks great imo. Much cleaner design than the white back. Thanks
