Why no green in AFL guernsey's?

[Hallstrom]

Season usually starts the weekend after St Pat's so it'd have to be in Rd1 if they did do it.

 

[The Final Word]

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 s**t. 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.

Jesus, you go with a pic of Celtic and you choose one with Kenny f*cking Miller! I'll overlook the reference to "wear green like the Celtics"

Celtic have worn a variety of shades of green in their 2nd and third kits and they all look pretty sweet to my biased eyes. So yeah, don't understand why there isn't a single AFL club in green.

2 very good examples

The mighty Hibs. Scotland’s greatest team!
GGTTH

Whack a Tassie team in green, yellow, red and you're sorted.
Next.

 

[Ekomaira]

Fremantle has had green in their home guernseys since their inception.
Green doesn't go very well with any colour, except perhaps white, and maybe black.

If Tasmania ever gets an AFL team, I think it's safe to say they will feature some green in their guernseys!

green goes awesome with black

More

Dromana

Kinglake

Gembrook Cockatoo

 

[Reservoir tiger]

Greensborough VS Northcote Park

 

[Bay Giant]

I think Giants were going to be “Canberra Raider Lime Green” until the 11th hour. (Thank god sanity prevailed)

Obviously Orange set a trend, look at Carlton and Geelong using Orange in their training gear for example.

 

[Occidental]

Doveton FC.
Someone posted their jumper earlier. Just doing it again as I really like it!

 

[And_ROOS]

Current Dromana kit;


Dromana throwback jumper;


They were the Dromana Hoppers at one point, wore green and gold and logo was a boxing kangaroo before they went to green, black and gold and rebranded as the Tigers at some point between 2003 and 2010.

Tooradin;


Pines Pythons;


Edithvale-Aspendale clash jumper vs Rosebud;

 

[Hamez]

Spotswood and Wyndham Vale both wear green and gold in the WRFL:

[caloschwaby]

Pines Pythons;

Yep, red and green the way to go (for tassie at least) and yellow as a tertiary.


Like the Basin Bears jumper in the EFL. Traditional and don't think it clashes with any team in particular.
I'd personally inverse the design so that it is predominantly green with green shorts.

Probably been discussed but the broadcasters love of using the ground as a green screen when presenting their graphics would make for fun TV if a team wore Green. There was an AFLX team with green and it would often be keyed out for advertising during some of the games.

 

[citizen-erased]

Nrl and the A-League both have green jerseys aswell dont know about the other codes like union and NBA

Celtic (Both Boston and Glasgow)
Sassuolo, Sporting CP, St Etienne & Real Betis in Europe
Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen too
Milwaukee bucks

tapping out without google now

Green isnt easy to blend with
a Green and White tassie team would be cool though

 

[Occidental]

Forest Green Rovers. English League Two. Home & Away.
Made of 50% recyclable bamboo fibres. First fully vegan club in the UK. All food sold at the ground is 100% vegan.
They really are “green”

 

[Tandy]

Safe to assume Tassie will be green. Don't know how they'd make a Guernsey look good with a yellow image of the state though. Maybe a yellow or white chevron instead.

 

[Obeanie1]

Most tones of Green are piss weak, too submissive.

The Green Machine St Mary's in the NT have a deep green with yellow emblem and numbers.

Certainly not submissive. Won a ridicukous number of flags. Every other team hates them because they were so successful in the 80', 90's. Thankfylly the comp has evened up over the past 20 yeara.

Sandgate FC in the QAFL sport a green jumper with a red sash

British racing green or bottle green look best on grass

Was actually just watching a video about how they do the on-field graphics during NFL games, even with a multitude of green teams (Packers, Jets for example). They manage to put graphics and lines on the field that avoid the players.

Basically, they take a huge scan of the ground with no players to map out the true green colour, accounting for the time of day. They have multiple cameras too so they get exactly the right orientation of the lines/graphics.

Rather cool tech!

That is very cool! I didn't think of that.
