Competition So You Think We Won't Clash - Week 17 - Western Bulldogs

[Nickimus Rex]

After a 15-week hiatus sitting just outside, exile has hit back with an on-the-siren thriller! Wowee!

But forget all that, week 17 is upon us and the team is the Footscray Western Bulldogs.

The issue for us is that the dogs have such a limited colour selection, the only colours left for them were a horrible terracotta-y tomato-y red from their Origin-sponsored travesty, a randomy steel grey from their Thor-themed kit (although this colour was never the main colour), or their traditional royal blue. In the interest of sanity, the bulldogs will have royal blue as their colour.


The Rules

• You must build a single AFL kit for this weeks chosen AFL team using the specific colour mentioned above as the primary colour. This colour is chosen from all the colours ever worn by the selected team. Please try to stick specifically to the colour, as subsequent teams may use different shades of the same colour spectrum.
• Only a jersey is required, but you are welcome to make a full kit.
• The jersey cannot be an exact replica/recolour of existing or previous jerseys.
• A winner is chosen by voting.
• The winner of each week chooses the next team.
• Please post your winning team choice along with your entry
• Each subsequent team will use a unique colour to each team.
• Standard AFL logo/sponsors and placement apply
• Entries for this comp will run until this saturday.

A Bulldogs clash Guernsey in... blue.

Collingwood's was black so it's not without precedent

My take on this comp was that the designs are for the sole jumper of clubs in a hypothetical redo-style makeover of the league where every club “owns” a specific colour, rendering clash jumpers unnecessary. The Bulldogs just get lucky that they end up with their primary colour I guess, shame they never used green or something

Yeah spot on for the goal. A lot of clubs (for example Geelong, Tigers) have such limited colour selections that they limit choices for other clubs. The Gold Coast Suns are terrible for it in that they have literlly worn about 4 colours in their short tenure, which makes them a hard sell. Collingwood also have been so traditional that they make it harder for the rest of the teams. To be honest the Lions have the broadest colour selections of any team, purely just for their crazy experimentation and plethora of different jumper designs.

The goal wasn't to give a team a clash jumper, it was to try and make each team own a colour thereby making them not clash (which is impossible). I tried really hard to ensure each team had a colour that still represented "them". Unfortunately we're at the pointy end, an even though azure blue and royal blue are similar, i opted to give the dogs 'their' colour in place of their only other real option left; origin red.

Debating semantics in fictional leagues is always fun. I personally purport that Bulldogs, unfortunately, have to go with Origin red. First in best dressed etc.

Royal blue might be more "sane", but leaves little room for creativity. Using a non-traditional colour to create the essence of a Footscray jumper would be more challenging and fun.

^ Nice looking design, but the size of that V is ridiculously large. Would love to see an altered version.

So I posted a draft version on accident haha. Stayed with the deep vee thpugh.

 

[KBLT]

Okay, so I hated that last design. Hopefully not too late to change
