In Home Games Geelong should be able to wear these combos:

V Adelaide: Both in Navy Shorts (Enough Yellow and red in Crows jumper to work)
V Brisbane: Brisbane get Royal Shorts made, Geelong in Navy (Find Brisbane in White shorts confusing)
V Carlton: Geelong Always in White shorts (both same color)
V Collingwood: Geelong Always in White (Has worked since 20017 Prelim)
V Essendon: Both in Dark Shorts (See 1989 Preliminary Final)
V Fremantle: Geelong Always White (This combo just works)
V Gold Coast: Both in Dark Shorts
V GWS: Both in Dark Shorts (Think orange back on GWS is enough for white shorts not needed)
V Hawthorn: Both in dark Shorts (See 1989 GF)
V Melbourne: Geelong Always in White (See Carlton)
V North Melbourne: Opposite to North (depending on Jumper Selection)
V Port Adelaide: Geelong Always in White (White Number Panel means white a better match)
V Richmond: Both in Dark Shorts
V ST Kilda: Always White Shorts (Enough white in St Kilda Jumper that shorts needed)
V Sydney: Both in dark Shorts
V West Coast: Both in Dark Shorts (Think the More color the better, White shorts can confuse the situation)
V Bulldogs: Both in Dark Shorts (See West Coast)

What’s your justification for white shorts against Collingwood (black base) but then coloured against three other teams with the same base colour in Port, Essendon and Richmond?

Most of that won't ever happen. Geelong in white always against Adelaide, Essendon, Richmond, GWS and Hawthorn.

I rekon Suns in Red and white shorts would be fine at the Gabba
Ala Swans R1 2021.
The blues no good to the eye

QClash always reminds me there was a nonce at AFL House in the late 2000’s who didn’t care to think too much about the other local teams colours before approval.

AFL logic:
Navy blue v royal blue: no clash.
Maroon v red: clash.

GWS trolling Facebook about retro round

View attachment 1451539

I'd vomit if this was worn. Bulldogs colours to honour one of their two pre-AFL seasons, yet we can't wear Collingwood's colours that our senior team wore for 95 years before joining the AFL. As much as I want to see GWS roll this out I'd just be annoyed that we still haven't been given a guarantee to wear our heritage jumper twice a year.

 

[parano1a]

we still haven't been given a guarantee to wear our heritage jumper twice a year.

Port's obsession with their SANFL jumper is bordering on insanity at this point.

 

[Heardy_101]

If Geelong roll out in white shorts next home game we know North are chucking fruitys again.

Changing policy halfway through a season... Amateur hour

 

[Heardy_101]

Why can't we celebrate our heritage? Every other team is rolling out "retro" jumpers. Hardly fair.

Port's obsession with their SANFL jumper is bordering on insanity at this point.

They could change the colours on the guernsey to the current club colours no problem at all. In fact, it looks like it was the inspiration for the current Wests Tigers NRL jerseys which could be a problem with a possible identity clash

Well no s**t, I know you’re one of the most vocal anti-PB port fans but * me surely you can understand why we want it so badly

Port should cop teal prison bars. It looks class, be done with it

 

[Supercheapgiants]

Essendon disappoint me

 

[rippersnipper]

Essendon disappoint me

It's the AFL in fairness. Have absolutely no idea what they're doing when it comes to jumpers

 

[Billy ray]

Watch hawthorn wear away white shorts.
Melb should be in navy shorts but will wear white.
And essendon should be in red jumper but wont. If they do i will gift a platinum membership to whoever likes my post first

If we were going to do it, it would've happened in 1996/1997 and it would've been more widely accepted.

Collingwood in away jumper?

Every time I read something, somewhere on BigFooty about the prison bars you're there. That's insanity.

 

[Storm20]

Essendon disappoint me

Has anyone gotten to the bottom of the heatpressed circle on the front of the guernsey?

Also pretty sure that Carmichael's numbers were heatpressed

 

[parano1a]

Collingwood in away jumper?

Yes, Collingwood were in the away jumper for some reason. This is identical to the home but with the sponsors reversed (KFC on front, KFC above number, Emirates below number).

 

[LeeARM]

Did they wear an Emirates jumper for an away game? Maybe their indigenous jumper?
This might have been to even out the amount of time KFC is on the front.

 

[caloschwaby]

Collingwood in away jumper?

I thought it was due to wearing our Indigenous against North for NAIDOC a couple weeks back, but that was our home game so it shouldn't have mattered.
Maybe KFC got to choose one home game to have their logo out and that was the one they chose? Haha beats me

It’s the country round jumper. They didn’t run with a specialised number font this year, only Geelong.

i saw something on twitter saying it was like a KFC matchday or something
