North in white for the first time this year.

 

[MKMatty]

North in white for the first time this year.

With blue numbers too. Yuck.

 

[ashley12]

Collingwood in white one time

 

[NM_Mitchell]

With blue numbers too. Yuck.

The blue numbers are sexy. Especially with the nice grey outline.

 

[rippersnipper]

Want to see sydney home and gws clash but could be both in home which is awful imo

Oh how could I forget! Royal blue on white with a grey outline. Schmick.

I really don't know how WC wears a clash strip in the Western Derby, but for the Sydney Clash it's home jumpers for both. Madness. GWS Should absolutely be in a clash jumper, Sydney should be in the return.

You're a post away from my ignore list, friend.

I really don't know how WC wears a clash strip in the Western Derby, but for the Sydney Clash it's home jumpers for both. Madness. GWS Should absolutely be in a clash jumper, Sydney should be in the return.

The inconsistency in these matchups irritates me. They're all clashes, but only two of them are enforced.

 

[hitthepost]

Port vs Carlton will see people comparing to *THAT* game at AAMI but it won't be nearly as bad (both will have dark numbers on light but that's about where it ends this time)

Royal with white shorts for WCE - first time this year?

No clash jumpers for Melbourne or Collingwood is my bet.

 

[MWPP]

As amazing as *full royal* looks, we have a poor record in it , so perhaps I'll be happy to see the expected *royal with white shorts* combo
Can't wait to see our mighty royal wings for the first time this year
(Yes , I'm counting my chickens and assuming they there's no chance of wearing the yellow clash ala round 3)

The SA showdown (and many of the Victorian rivalries , bar Richmond/Essendon and now Richmond /Collingwood) is in the same category too . Pity .

 

[Speck]

Carlton in clash.
GWS should have a Melbourne red back-eqse charcoal backed jumper for this game.
North in white with putrid blue numbers.
Eagles in royal (did they used to do this or white in H&A? I know the GF was royal).
Melbourne in red backed jumper.
Pies in home but should be in clash.

 

[MWPP]

My predictions:
-Port in full home v. Carlton in full white (this will still result in a bit of a *back* clash unfortunately. Wish Carlton still had the *baby blue* clash)
-Dogs in full royal v. lions in clash (+white shorts)
-Gold Coast in full home v. Crows in full white (honestly think the Crows could wear their full home if they wanted to....but going by this, http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2016/9/gcfc-v-adel, full white is more likely)
-Sydney full home v GWS full home (unfortunately)
-Fremantle full home v. North in full white (+blue numbers)
-Saints in full home v Geelong in full white
-Hawks in full home v. Eagles in royal + white shorts
-Richmond in full home v. Melbourne in home with white shorts (unfortunately) , ala http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2015/4/rich-v-melb
-Essendon in full home. v Pies in home with white shorts (unfortunately) - pity as Pies in all white would look amazing
EDIT- forgot about Essendon's poppy (awesome design!) and the Pies' newspaper-inspired designs for the Anzac Day clash, but such a pity that the latter is based on the black rather than white Pies Guernsey

*ALL TIMES ARE AEST*
Hawthorn V West Coast Eagles @ MCG (6:40 PM)

Our match is at 4:40PM AEST (not 6.40PM AEST)

Eagles in royal (did they used to do this or white in H&A? I know the GF was royal).

For the GF, we were the nominated home team (that's probably why we wore royal shorts)
This time the Hawks will be the nominated home team (like http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2016/2/haw-v-wce ) so we'll probably be in white shorts
(given the AFL's bias against dark v. royal shorts )

I wonder why the beautiful 2017 Lions Clash Guernsey isn't available on the online team store
http://www.lionsshop.com.au/guernseys/
http://www.lions.com.au/clash
Can we still blame the BLK factor? (5 rounds in!)

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Tipping the Pies in clash, seeing as they did against Richmond.

Thanks for the reminder- forgot about these
Would've liked it if I didn't *dislike* the Pies Guernsey
(Would've looked so much better if it was inverted! And preferably not just the same design over and over again )

I wonder if we'll see Melbourne wear the red back jumper. It wouldn't clash anywhere near as badly with Richmond as it did with St Kilda.

 

[E92_]

The clubs should be ashamed of themselves.


All jumper profits should be going to the RSL/Legacy.

 

[royboy2]

Lions in home Anzac jumper on the weekend, again proving no clash needed vs Footscray
