Brisbane Lions: Home/Maroon v Carlton: Clash/White

I don't think Carlton have ever worn white against the Lions?

Bulldogs in Robodog kit this week. Not sure if Freo are wearing the 3D anchor again for the 90s style match-up, probably not given the likely clash.

 

[Red Crow]

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?

Would love to see swans in v with white shorts

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.

I just presumed they would cause their would be a slight clash

are you new to the AFL?
they let two dark teams play eachother, with shorts as the differentiation.
this is the same, but opposite

no chance it happens, AFL screwed up once with north

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.

Swans in v ?

In Melbourne so yep

 

[Supercheapgiants]

In Melbourne so yep

Unlikely, reason is mentioned above

 

[seaforthswan]

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.

if Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood in home vs each other can still be a thing I kinda want to see North blue shorts v Swans V kit

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.

Does anyone know what happened to Port's stealth kit?

Does anyone know what happened to Port's stealth kit?

It wasn't intended to be worn in a game if I recall correctly, just a retail-only guernsey
