Adelaide in Gold or Red this week?

 

[Heardy_101]

And Carlton to finally wear their clash jumper this year?

Adelaide in Gold or Red this week?

Red would make more sense.

 

[Dazzler9]

Adelaide in Gold or Red this week?

hmmmm. I will say red.

 

[Roo Beauty]

North may be in blue/white like last year against Hawthorn.

Is there a non blue and white jumper we are not aware of?

 

[its been done]

Collingwood might be in their home with away sponsors this week, if it exists

That was the idea last year from Collingwood. Not sure if we will see it.

Thought the adelaide red was a one off

 

[Dazzler9]

As opposed to the white/blue, he meant

Don't think so.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Blue/white instead of white/white.

 

[Smartys Power]

Blue/white instead of white/white.

I’ll never get why north changed from white/blue to blue/blue because they didn’t want to do white/white even though we’re getting blue/white anyway?

Off topic and not sure if it’s been said. The Dogs have a black match style shorts that they wear for training only. Saw a photo the other day wasn’t too sure if they were actual training shorts or match day shorts

1. Didn't want to wear white shorts at home. Switching to their inverse in home matches "allowed them to wear blue shorts" (From a Twitter post at the time).

2. When the change became official they released a statement saying they didn't want people to think they were the away team. (From their website).

It's a pretty piss poor reason and honestly, the club should have taken it to the fans.

I don’t pay but was able to read it... basically McDonald’s is taking over ball sponsorship meaning clubs lose a major Sponsor

When I read the headline I thought the fury was about deals with competitors.

So port and Hawthorn loose KFC; west coast will leave hungry jacks; and then there is another team. There is an allowance in the nrl, and probably other leagues, for the clubs sponsorship to continue atleast to the end of the original deal.

Maybe that is too? Although how come clubs have car sponsors then?

The Herald Sun last week revealed growing anger in club ranks over “alarming” new rules that favour the AFL’s “protected partners” including Toyota, McDonald’s, Telstra and Coca-Cola.

This is an interesting note in the article. If this is indeed true and your point is correct, this will then get most sponsors out if those are protected
