Hell no
AFL will say the white shorts on Melb will make the royal blue work with Freo all purple - but thats terrible and Melb should have an alternative
Port in grey and white shorts going to be terrible v Collingwood
Syd v GWS should be ok nowadays with GWS in the all charcoal
Hawks in white shorts when they dont need to be, adding white to their uniform v the Saints
Geelong could wear blue shorts so long as bulldogs wear royal blue, but instead they will wear white shorts and bulldogs royal blue.
Carlton will wear their white as Adelaide not a big 4 melb team
Gold Coast v West Coast is the GOAT match up, all red v all royal blue
Brisbane in Fitzroy jumper with white shorts - but they should really get themselves some blue shorts
Ess v North should be ok

Freo won't be in all purple. They'll be in Green, purple, white and red.

Freo at home to Melbourne hasn't occurred since Melbourne started using their royal clash. Freo's retro guernsey might help things a little this weekend, but imagine if that is the GF matchup we get this year. Yikes.

Am I the only one that thinks Freo's purple versus Melbournes royal will look good, hope it happens in the finals. Unsure how tonight will look though

clearly the AFL has listened to reason since then and are allowing us to wear our home strip. We should celebrate that.
The issue is however is that teams as a result are now forced to wear white shorts against your mob - which shows a lack of reason.

Navy teams v Royal doesnt doesn't cause that much difference, the fact we cant when the AFL cave to North so quickly is bull.

If North can, and they make opposition wear white shorts surely we can play a few more games where both teams are in home shorts.

Essendon v Collingwood 6 days ago is enough proof we are treated like second class citizens.
