Freo said at the start of the year they were going to wear purple jumper/white shorts in away games with no clash. So far, they haven’t done so.

Given the AFL allowed a purple/royal match just last week, wonder if Freo might put pressure on to allow them to wear it this week?

Why on earth would Sydney be in white against North, who wear a white jumpers?

It’ll be both teams in full home, as it should be, and it will look great.
I’m guessing the though is Sydney will wear their South Melbourne inspired jumper. Though red shorts would be fine it’d be two predominantly white jumpers.

Sure, but it clashes, so they won't wear it. It was a similar situation a few years back when the Bulldogs wore that Marvel jumper that had a heap of red on it. Normally the Swans wear red against them, but because that would clash with the special kit, the Swans wore white. Just because they have a "Victorian" jumper doesn't mean they'll wear it every away game in Vic regardless of what the home team wears. They didn't/don't play Geelong away this year (finals pending) but they would wear all red in that matchup too.

they let two dark teams play eachother, with shorts as the differentiation.
this is the same, but opposite

Yeah but neither team is a big 4 so I expect common sense to prevail this time.

It didn’t when Geelong played North, but North didn’t have an effective clash and the match was rightly and widely criticised, so I can’t see them making the same mistake again.

Makes perfect sense to wear our home, yes. BUT my Swans membership emails are littered with the SMFC kit this week.
The AFL could do an AFL on this one.

Unlikely, reason is mentioned above
You do realise this is the AFL, right?

None of the reasons above aren't really valid reasons more like opinion.

Remember, South Melbourne wore the white with red V kit vs North for now many years? And then the original Sydney Swans jumper which had a white back for a few years before they switched to the red back.
