Discussion Worst ever jumper clashes

[And_ROOS]

I saw photos on my feed from a week or 2 ago for a local womens GF, when I saw the first photos I thought what a horrendous clash...



But seems the away team wanted to wear their home kit for the pre-match photos etc, because when the game started the team in white shorts was wearing this;

Potential clash this weekend in the Horsham District League Grand Final between Rupanyup and Kalkee to be avoided, as the Panthers wear thier clash strip every time they play the Kees. From thier website:

Rupanyup have worn the traditional tripanel royal blue and red guernsey design for as long as anyone cares to remember. When the club was admitted to the Horsham District League this guernsey caused a considerable clash with fierce rivals Kalkee who wear guernseys that are predominantly red with a royal blue sash. After many years through the 80s and 90s and trialling measures such as wearing yellow socks to better distinguish each side it was decided in 2001 to wear a navy blue clash strip for all games against Kalkee whilst retaining the traditional Rupanyup strip for all other games. The navy blue colours of the clash strip honour the legacy of the neighbouring Marnoo Football Club that went into recess in the year 2000 and were worn in Rupanyup's most recent Senior premiership against Kalkee in 2001 and again in the Reserves premiership in 2009.

If only some "big" clubs had this mentality.

Is that a tripanel or a monopanel?

No different to a big 4 clash with carlton or essendon away. White shorts will fix it

That Saints singlet is horrendous. At least make the back and front similar FFS!

Were they forced, or are you assuming? The bats are traditionally predominantly black which any sane person would conclude is a better for this match-up. I've dealt with team managers at lower levels of sport, and half the time they have no clue what the opposition is wearing on the day, or the coach is superstitious and prefers his team wear a particular strip so the team manager obliges, or the other jerseys are still in the wash or the bag not packed in the van.

It's made even worse as Canterbury have removed the blue yoke from their jersey, making it whiter than normal and extremely similar to St George-Illawarra - except blue.

Teams in NSW Cup have alternative strips. Some don't. Being the highest level of competition in NSW, you'd think they'd insist on all clubs having them.

Im assuming, its a grand final so Im sure they were told by the AFL what to wear.
We (the Bats) rarely wear White as is, very surprised and annoyed watching.
Imagine playing in that game!!
