Why no green in AFL guernsey's?

[DarkPhoenix]

Green is the same colour as the turf

People could hide from taggers

View attachment 561024 If Tassie get a team, they will be wearing this strip or something similar....minus Richo of course!

As a Tasmanian, I hate the fact the Map is on most of our jumpers.

Would prefer something without it.

Love that, considering what Freo were getting designed before they joined they could of done a lot worse than be posted one of these. Reverse it for an away strip and you're done. Simple and timeless.

Thanks Silent Alarm for these photos posted in another thread (from a small doco about the start of Freo)

Nothing better than a map of Tassie....

It’s a bit outdated. Nothing at all would be more 21st century

Know what's better?

Absence of the map

Yep, stick an apple on the front? Errol Flynn swinging on a rope? Apparently Errol was a pretty good footballer in his day!
It will be a map of Tassie, they must unify the north and South of the state if they get a team.

Northampton in the mid west is green/yellow. Several AFL players - Taylor, Kennedy, Haselby, Cripps x2, Chick and a few others.

There are no green guernseys in the AFL and no green skivvies in the Wiggles.

Coincidence?







Yes.

 

[Slax]

Doesn't seem to affect the Cricketers? Australia, South Africa, Pakistan all wear green...Then you have the Melbourne Stars!

The AFL think that there's a clash between most jumpers so of course there's one with the grass. Just most other sports are so stupid as to react to the whinging of a few colour blind twits

 

[Bunk Moreland]

As expected, Tassie have pretty much claimed green.

The Northhampton jumper goes alright I reckon, a lighter and brighter green and gold than the Tassie one and has vertical stripes.

My kids used to call them BP, there's a sponsor for someone right there.

Liked it when Freo had it, but yeah like msot are saying I think they're saving green for Tasmania.

This tone of green would make a really great guernsey:

There are plenty of teams in soccer that wear green like the Celtics as well, there's no clash (unless you make one), easy to see against the turf, fans don't have a problem, as long as it's the above tone of green. t
The only problem is when it's dark green or any dark-ish tone of green which looks like shit. For some reason, football teams in Australia have a fetish for dark colours and local teams that use green use darker varieties. In order to make green work you have to use a medium-bright green that is visually pleasing to the eye.

It’s not just green. The other two secondary colours, purple and orange are hardly used too. And when they are they are too dark like Freo’s too dark purple. The primary colours, their darker shades, and black and white are close to the only colours clubs want. But there are many colours and shades out there that are just ignored. Those two green uniforms you showed look great.

They'll just spray the ground pink instead

I think I see what you did there

Green and red are great together.

Maybe at Christmas I guess

It'd be nice to see at least one club do a St Patrick's Day guernsey, replacing one of their regular colours with green.
