i think every club should have two jumpers in a different colour scheme, it works in every other professional league in the world.

home team chooses light or dark and the away team takes the opposite.
Completely agree. Though I'm pretty sure we're in the minority!!

I'm sure other have said it before, but we should be locking in pink before other teams do. Easy synergy with ladies' team guernseys, easy to spot on field, great contrast with navy blue from a design aesthetic.

Hasn't done Penrith any harm.
 
Got no issue with white and the CFC and number in Navy Blue. Could handle the orange we use and also a pink. The Navy and our ‘coat of arms’ are still bold and emblazoned in blue. Also, contrast jumpers sell like hot cakes and are a great money spinner. Don’t be an ‘Eddie’ and go the stripes only. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Sport has evolved and the Penrith example above is so true. They made a killing and it embraced a different demographic.
 
The traditional navy blue Carlton guernsey is a very 'pure' design - plain and uncluttered but beautiful.

I think the clash jumper should follow the same ethos and simply inverting it as white with a navy blue logo seems the logical thing for me.

....although I don't mind this years outlined CFC logo as well especially now it has some history being worn in that epic semi-final win !!

Pink or Carlton respects orange would be a genuine contrast.

I don't understand why clash jumpers are necessary unless there is a genuine 'clash of colours', which in Carlton's case is very rare.
I say don't dilute the traditional trade mark for the sake of marketing and raising a few dollarbucks.

We've come a long way since the days of black & white TV replays with mud soaked Collingwood vs. Nth. Melbourne clashes etc.(with massive 24 inch screens)
How did footy survive those ancient protocols?
You did have to concentrate harder.
 
Don't get me wrong - love the Old Dark Navy Blue, and it's "our" colour. But, wouldn't care if we were wearing pink with purple polka dots if we won the flag. Sure Tigger supporters felt that way in 2017 too.
Yeah, Nah - I wouldnt want to have a premiership photo of the lads in Pink & Purple polka dots ... :oops:

We are the Pink & Purple Polka Dots
We are the old dark Pink & Purple Polka Dots
We're the team that never lets you down
We're the only team old Carlton knows
With all the champions
They like to send up
We'll keep our end up
And they will know that they've been playing
Against the famous old dark Pink & Purple Polka Dots

I with ya - a 'Carlton Respects' predominantly orange jumper with a navy CFC logo. Someone came up with a roughly put together concept a few years ago which wasn't bad (minus the grey piping). It'll look ok with either navy or white shorts depending on the opposition's colors.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's better than the white number they'll be rolling out this year imo. AFL probably wouldn't allow it though cos it may be a little too close to one of their love childs...

Yeah, thats pretty close! But you could invert it so that we are still 'Navy Blue' but enough orange for Carlton Respects

Keep it Navy Blue with white, none of the colours are relevant with being The Blues.
