The Kangaroos away kit is so much better than their home kit.

Don't know why they changed it a few years back.

Because they didn't want to wear white shorts.

Because they didn't want to wear white shorts.

And for anyone reading who thinks this is a bit of an assumption, the club tweeted it was the reason

And to further elaborate, they also insinuated that their supporters were stupid because they said they didn't want to be seen as the away team.

What a load of poppysock! (actually I don't mind them)

 

[Gydafud]

Is the Tiger logo on the channel 7 broadcast orange or is my TV on the fritz?

Orange

 

[Gydafud]

Orange

Oh good. Sorry if this isn’t a new observation. First Tigers game I have watched all year.

 

[Underarm]

Does anyone know what the text is on the tigers sash?

Edit: looks to be the names of the fallen

Morse code of the Ode.

And yeah gold logo for the premiers.

 

[Ochre]

Not sure about the yellow cuffs and numbers on this red Crows jumper.

 

[The_torpedo]

I spy a red longy

I saw that, Seedsman I think.

Crows jumper looks great, navy cuffs/collar might look better.

Not sure if white or navy numbers would be better than yellow though.

Not sure about the yellow cuffs and numbers on this red Crows jumper.

Yeah was a spin out, I'm at the ground and was shocked when they walked out. Didn't know they had a red variant! Not sure if I'm a fan.

Big fan of the red. Crows have a wonderful set of guernseys this year. Although for this particular match it would look much nicer if the Crows were just in their blue home.

 

[Swamps alias]

Aesthetics aside, clashes worse than the blue. Particularly in wide shot.

 

[Ogrebait]

Agreed. It's a nice jumper but the clash is even worse than I thought it'd be.

 

[Red Crow]

Yeah this jumper actually doesn’t help the clash at all. Still a mess of light and dark. Sounded good in theory but not great in practice.

Either Crows in full home with Hawks in white shorts regardless of whose home game it is, or we need a white jumper just for this game.

 

[MKMatty]

I feel like this red jumper only exists so the umpires aren’t caught out in their yellow kit v hawks.

Classy look though.

 

[LaunnieLunatic]

Yeah not sure how it looks on TV, but it probably would have been a better contrast if the crows were in navy with white shorts.

 

[Billy ray]

Should be navy shorts maybe?

 

[Ogrebait]

Did you actually have a problem with Hawks in gold/brown and Crows in navy/white, Red Crow?

(Not having a go; I'm genuinely interested as to how others interpret degrees of clashes.)

 

[LaunnieLunatic]

I know that understandably white clash guernsey's are much maligned, and I completely agree, but this might be one of the match ups that could benefit from it.

 

[Red Crow]

Did you actually have a problem with Hawks in gold/brown and Crows in navy/white, Red Crow?

(Not having a go; I'm just curious as to how others interpret degrees of clashes.)

My problem with that setup is you end up with a mix of light and dark as well as a heap of mutual gold. The gold on our home really pops against the navy, so against Hawthorn’s jumper theres just a lot of gold going on.

Crows in home/white is probably pretty similar to today, you’d just be trying to focus on the white shorts as the differentiator.
