So how can the AFL be so strict on the shorts Geelong wear each week, but then the same group of people forget that North might need one of their jumpers to be not predominantly white?

Just defies belief.

How did North get away with two light guernseys for 2022 which clash with eachother?

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Well Geelong do have their 'clash' jumper that they could wear. I know it's not the right thing to do in this situation, but it is a solution that Cats could whip up on the day and just get it over with. Geelong would seriously impress me if they went with this 'bigger man' approach, and hey why not flog it off in the merch stands on the day to make a quick buck.

O

The constitution states that for home games the hoops must be worn (iii):

View attachment 1436102

However, you could interpret iii(B) as a clash thus allowing the navy.

Ok Essendon

I still find it bizarre that only after 2019 was there an issue with the Bulldogs guernsey with away shorts vs Brisbane at home

North might need one of their jumpers to be not predominantly white

Their indigenous jumper is predominantly royal blue, not sure why that can't be used?

Brisbane wearing something special tonight? Numbers are non-standard.

Why yes, yes they are.

Seems to be a heritage jumper of sorts. The yoke is lower on the back and there is a logo on the front that I can't identify.

Geelong North will be ugly
GWS Hawthorn will be just as ugly
Saints in their clash will look against Carlton

Possibility Collingwood could be in all white? We mostly always wear all white in away games now even when there isn't a clash (against Bulldogs, West Coast and Hawthorn). We haven't played on the Gold Coast since 2018.

Geelong and North is a mess. GWS and Hawthorn never looks good. Collingwood will never wear white against Gold Coast

Looks like the Lions are wearing the 20th Anniversary of 2002 premiership jumper tonite…. With the funny lookin number font.

 

[Racheles Pocket]

Adelaide will face Melbourne at Adelaide Oval on Saturday at 4.05pm and will wear its Indigenous Guernsey in honour of NAIDOC Week, which begins the following day.

I wish clubs could choose their own number font. This Brisbane jumper and the Port throwback of the 90s away with the teal outlined numbers were mint.

 

[lionbear]

Was there a reason Brisbane didn't wear their 2002 Premiership anniversary jumper against Collingwood on Easter Thursday? Wearing it tonight doesn't make a lot of sense.

Geelong: Clash/Navy v North Melbourne: Clash/White

No disrespect but I don't understand why this is a prediction when it's already confirmed that North are wearing their home jumper with white shorts, and Geelong - so far - are apparently wearing their home jumper with navy shorts.

Great pick up. Collingwood will be wearing their indigenous jumper once more this year. So it could be against Gold Coast or North Melbourne (next week).

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Would love to see the swans red v jumper longsleeve this weekend with red at the end of the sleeves like the old days!

These predictions are just based off what I know and obviously what I personally think will happen.

Does not exist but hope it did

Doubt it. Almost all teams wear their full home kit when playing away to Gold Coast. Sydney and Brisbane are the only exceptions that come to mind.

 

[rippersnipper]

I'm the first to complain when other teams/the AFL f*ck up on clash jumpers so I'll jump in here too. Assuming that North are in white, it's a huge error by North/puma for coming up with an alternative jumper that solves zero clashes. And the AFL has cooked it again by not making us wear/develop a blue jumper for this match. Seriously multiple stupid things all aligning here, it should never be problem.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Liking the Houston Astros-like combo of navy and orange from Carlton tonight. Wouldn’t complain if we saw orange enter their clash jumper, especially now that Carlton Respects has been around a while now.

Liking the Houston Astros-like combo of navy and orange from Carlton tonight.

Anyone who woke up from a coma during tonight's game could be forgiven for assuming Carlton had merged with GWS.
