Opinion Wearing the white kit

[clivenator26]

Bummer but happy to be there!

Very very strange decision - the home jumper with the white shorts would probably have been my pick given that we don't really clash with Hawthorn's colours at all.

 

[yakka man]

Another shit decision by the AFL.

Flog em Freo

 

[Alfonz]

I have no problem with this. The most important thing is the clearest difference between sides.

 

[Outshined]

Would have thought white shorts with the purple jumper would have provided enough of a clash.

Anyway, don't care what we're wearing, as long as we win.

What a load of ****************************

 

[Purple_Passion]

As Ross would say: "This is irrelevant"

 

[Purple Jesus]

It's fine - white will stand out. Hawks will be swamped by it and they'll be able to pick players off easy. Irrelevant imo.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

much of a muchness. i'm a big fan of the white strip.

 

[TweeBeard]

That is actually quite annoying

 

[LeverPuller]

Guys, call the club and suggest for them to take the purple jumpers anyway. Sure, you can't play in them and it's presumptive as hell, but the last thing you want is a St Kilda-esque situation.

 

[Dudley Leopard]

For all I care they can wear purple dinosaur suits as long as they win.

 

[Freo Shark]

Whispering White Death to the pencil necks.
The Hawks certainly wont lose sight of them coming to get them.

Yep , no confusion with runners etc.

Don't worry about it, I was angry in 2010 that we were wearing the white clash strip but once the ball was bounced you could have them wearing this and it still won't matter because you're clubs in the big one.

And as people are saying if you win you can change jumpers anyway.

Wouldn't surprise me if the umpires wear yellow. AFL is stupid enough to do that.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Good 'disappointment' to have.

It's not an abomination, like the woeful away jumpers some sides have. Freo's worn white for a decade and will keep wearing white, the Dockers use it for half the games in a season as well. Plus the white, in a Granny, might stir up some South Fremantle memories for some...

No worries. Would've preferred purple, but whatever.

 

[Outshined]

Also, it was a club decision to wear all white, not the AFL. We had the choice to wear the purple jumper with white shorts.

 

[davidantonowicz]

You are all taking this pretty well. If West Coast was forced to play a GF in their white strip I would be absolutely gutted. Winning a flag immortalises the jumper forever, you want that to be your 'nothing' white strip? Disgraceful decision by the AFL.

 

[vapours]

Love the white personally, no problems with this at all.

 

[Taylor]

If we pull off the win, does the team switch to the home jumper for the presentation and photograph or do we get to have our first premiership cup lift in a white jumper?

 

[Pavs_Risotto]

I seem to remember a game recently at a stadium somewhere in a town called Geelong where we wore the white strip.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Regular jumpers with coloured shorts... why do we have to wear white shorts?

ATEOTD it's kind of "so what as long we we're there", but it always seems to be a case of one rule for us, and one for everyone else.

Much prefer to be in all purple, but I'll live with it.

yeah nah we wore all purple, the other mob wore all white.

 

[yakka man]

Interesting that we chose to wear the white jumper. Odd decision by the club.
