this is one of those matchups where the giants would benefit from having a white clash/third jumper

Orange would suffice surely?
+ get that No white short policy ala Supercheapgiants portfolio

 

[And_ROOS]

The white shorts policy is stupidly outdated. Hawks should either wear their home shorts, or bring back the black shorts they wore back in the day. Makes no sense for the away team to wear white shorts when their opponents jumper has that much white.

Giants could wear orange and the tigers wear black and it would look much better.

Freo in purple and white shorts against Pies, shocking

HOW CAN THE AFL TICK OFF THIS CLASH, ******* amateurs

 

[Freo16]

The geniuses at the AFL strike again

Our old green and red guernsey would’ve clashed here, let alone purple and white

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

feel like freo are screwed either way in this situation, the white clashes in a way so does the purple

 

[Walshawk]

Really messy. It is the dark backs and white number that make this Hard to watch

There are far more clashing elements I think in this situation though.

Darkish guernseys, red sponsor and white numbers on dark back.

Ridiculous.

Wonder if wearing the Bears kit over the Red in Vic is a cardinal sin in Lions circles

 

[Supercheapgiants]

My solution is to just have a lighter purple third for this situation

Spoiler: Clash Idea

I’d honestly pay good money for something like that

Fremantle should be in their clash jumper. Can’t tell the difference at the game

You could even go for a lighter purple which would be even better.

On a side note, I think there needs to be a rule regarding teams that wear a prominent amount of white each week. (Collingwood, Geelong, North, Sydney) When playing against these sides, all others teams MUST NOT, wear white shorts, It's just smarter that way.

Fitzroy kit for Melbourne games personally, clash wasn't that bad.

What has ever been wrong with the white clash v Collingwood home?

Too busy making sure Geelong stay in the white shorts.

 

[Feraligatr]

So glad I'm not the only one who noticed the freo/magpies clash.

Sometimes on the TV I couldn't even tell who was who.

Nah, that jumper was predominantly black for the pies, common sense should have been applied

 

[freo_leo29]

Does anyone know why exactly the AFL has gone backwards on their soft policy for guernseys over the past 2 years?

Did it start with North requesting their original home guernsey back and being able to wear it with blue shorts?

It's ridiculous

 

[Freo16]

Absolutely nothing, the white clash was the correct option.

 

[parano1a]

Did the Freo property steward pack the wrong kit? They've worn white in away games against Collingwood ever since moving to the purple and white colours. Why change that today?

 

[seaforthswan]

On reflection, kinda dont mind it as an F-you to the Big4 Vic rule

I thought Adelaide v GWS was a bit clashy last night. GWS should have been in white.
