[The Victorian]

It looks as if North might not be wearing the Kick for the Kids badge this year?

 

[Dazzler9]

Port and GC in clash*, everything else fairly standard.

* neither requires clash, I just predict it will happen.

 

[Sparkle]

Collingwood would look mint in their clash jumper this week, but I doubt it'll happen

 

[its been done]

Will Carlton be in their clash like Adelaide were against Norths last week or will they wear their home strip? If it's the latter, Crows fans should be pounding at Gil's office door

We did last year when we played away to them. Don’t think anything has changed since then. So I hope we do wear it again.

 

[Dazzler9]

Collingwood could go their full black kit and it'd be fine. See 2002 and 2003 GFs.

I reckon we'd do main with white shorts.
'twill be a grey day regardless, me thinks

From memory you guys wore the clash against us last year. Such memories can be unreliable however.

A quick Google search confirms my suspicions - my memory is unreliable

Nah, Gold Coast will definitely be in their home. Quote from when their clash was released...

The SUNS will wear the new clash guernsey three times during the 2019 season, in away games against GWS GIANTS (RD11), Sydney (RD15) and Brisbane (Rd21).

My jumper tips going about as well as my regular footy tips.

Dazzler10 , since the Eagles went to their royal jumper, Port have been wearing their home jumper with white shorts. However, when West Coast were in navy, Port was in a clash jumper

If you take all Adelaide Crows games, and remove all games in Adelaide; and games against Sydney Swans, Gold Coast Suns and Geelong Cats (because all teams wear full home against these teams), Now you would have all Adelaide away games minus Syd, GCFC, Geel and Port; and the last time Adelaide wore their home jumper in such game was in 2013 to Collingwood. Therefore, Adelaide use their clash jumper as an away jumper rather than a clash jumper (similar to Fremantle).
Carlton will wear their home jumper to the Bulldogs. The only time a clash jumper has been used since 1999 was in 2007, where Carlton were at home.

I think this is true. It seems they are not too fussed. They could easily wear their home top away to WCE for instance, but always turn up in their white clash.

I think we will be, we did so last year IIRC

Theres a bit of mixed messaging from the club around this. Officially its listed as a clash jumper, though informally is sometimes referred to as the away jumper. There have been numerous times where club officials have stated that we want to wear our home jumper "as much as possible" (such as this video which is from 2017 when we had the two clash jumpers). Thing is, if we really wanted to wear it in more away games, we'd use precedents set in other games to push our case to wear it against the likes of the Roos, Eagles and Bulldogs.

In that video, then GM of Footy Phil Harper mentions that there are "only three left" in regards to away games where the AFL lets us wear the home jumper in away games - Geelong, Port Adelaide and Sydney. Will be interesting to see if Gold Coast has been added back to the list this year, seeing as they now wear their home against us.

 

[Silent Alarm]

IMO North should have worn their bouncing roo jumper for this game.

And edited the roo to look like a bunny

Obviously those GFs were day games. The Lions' maroon looks a lot darker under lights.

Essendon’s Anzac strip looks great IRL - the amart logo should be black/white all the time

Oops wrong thread - still, comment stands.

Or the jumpers weren't ready in time for the promotional pics

 

[Red Crow]

That promo shot also has both teams in coloured shorts, which would be absolutely fine except that the AFL will put Essendon in white shorts cos reasons.

Maybe they've made up an Easter clause.
Clashes don't alwas exist in finals so these shorts may be ok because it's Good Friday.
I'll laugh hard if Essendon wear black shorts away to North in royal on the same day as Port wear white shorts (with their black tops) away to West Coast in royal.
