NM in blue or white?

 

[akkaps]

Tough call, because it will also impact the shorts GWS wears.

Subbed

West Coast will wear royal just really dislike navy vs royal
Carlton will wear navy just really dislike black vs navy
Given North will have to wear white shorts if they wear the white jumper I'd go with they'll wear royal

Everything else is pretty straight-forward and has the hitthepost tick of approval

Interested re: why you dislike Navy v Royal ?
I'd love a poll because IMO it doesn't clash at all, even if they are both technically blue (especially given how close to black most sides' navy /other dark colours are these days)
Agree with your opinion on black v navy - Adelaide should've been in yellow again last week!!

I just don't think there's enough contrast, especially in lower-light situations. The worst was watching live at AAMI in the 2012 NAB Cup Final, play on the far pocket from where I was sitting was no hope of knowing who was who. Never liked it. Even when I've watched the game with minimal issues I just think if we're working on the best image for those watching and we're putting umpires in colours that stand out from everything (all they need is reflector strips) then why are we still putting teams in similar colours out there. It's like there's 2 groups of people out there - the umps, and the scrum of players, when really there's 3 groups. "Who is winning?" "The blue team"

Collingwood Will Turn Hawthorn inside this week

Collingwood Will Turn Hawthorn inside this week

Yes but wearing what jumper

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Will be the last time St Kilda wear black for a while (******* BLK!)

Are you related to Groupie, by any chance?

I personally don't mind the dogs royal against say carlton or melbourne. But West Coast's royal with gold wings against adelaide with navy and gold hoops and numbers is a bit too similar for my liking. the blue wings clash more than hawthorn's jumper in regards to Adelaide that's for sure.

 

[Speck]

Brisbane in the red? Or white?

I think the time the umpires wore blue as well was the worst, wait is that happening again this week?

 

[Heardy_101]

Be interesting too she come finals what North wears as well. Given they probably won't finish higher than 7th, that puts them as the away team in all finals, thus logic will dictate they'll wear white shorts with their white jumper.

That's such a different shade of blue to any blue a team wears that it was a non-issue. Better contrast than umpires in green and Richmond in clash, or Hawthorn in home.

That blue is shocking vs north white, but yeah, that's really the only bad one

It was pretty dreadful in the blues v eagles game earlier in the year, especially due to the time of the day it started.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

I love it when people come into this thread giving their tips on who will win the game

Not much clash here at all:

or even here:

Never had an issue with royal v Navy. Contrast is fine

Carlton white shorts v Collingwood black shorts is the kind of clash that needs to be eliminated - not royal v navy.

If West Coast couldn't wear royal v Navy or Black we'd be in white clash almost every away game

West Coast will wear royal just really dislike navy vs royal
Carlton will wear navy just really dislike black vs navy

Agree Navy v Black (or even Dark Purple) should not happen

Completely agree
I'd add Brown (and Charcoal obviously) to the *Dark* group too

Any wide angle shot with the shadow covering half the ground, it was very hard to tree tell who was who.

It suffers from a similar problem to this; whenever Souths and Manly play in the NRL, even though red and green against maroon shouldn't clash up close, when there is fast moving action, the colours blend and it's especially pronounced from distance.

 

[Silent Alarm]

s**t that the Bulldogs will wear their horrific clash in Pav's last game, and none others this year.

And yet they still wear the old, perfect clash for their VFL side
