on Instagram which he picks an NRL game from the last 20 years and show the match up for the corresponding matchup in the current 2024 round. His idea leans towards special jerseys only worn once or twice and only in a regular season game. I have brought this idea to the AFL, starting this week and looking at games of the last 30 years in regards for the weekly matchups.

Giants confirmed to be wearing the new clash jumper on Instagram. North vs Fremantle is the only one I'm unsure of, I just think the inverse for shorts would be incredibly garbage. Let's hope North wear the white shorts I guess.

I have a good feeling North in blue and Freo in white based on last year's North home games but wouldn't mind seeing something different

You might be right, although North's only home game in their past 7 meetings was in 2020 when North were in the blue home. I'll take my chances here but I figure royal and purple is probably clashy enough for them to put North in the white shorts.

Suns will be rocking this classici

North Melbourne home shorts rule this weekend?

Ooh, forgot about this. Funnily enough though I downloaded the new update for AFL23 that had 2024 jumpers and lists in it and this was the only main jumper that was missing for whatever reason. Either way I'll update my prediction to include this jumper, hopefully the Suns wear this in every away game this year (clash permitting).

We should be in what you have suggested but I can see it being this:

 

[akkaps]

Roos in blue shorts and Freo in white shorts. Welp

 

[rippersnipper]

Roos in blue shorts and Freo in white shorts. Welp

Freo can wear all purple and there'll be no issue with us in blue shorts, if anything them in white makes it worse

 

[Heardy_101]

Jesus Christ, why am I not surprised

 

[oak79]

Freo can wear all purple and there'll be no issue with us in blue shorts, if anything them in white makes it worse

So stupid.

Roos should be in white shorts

But If not, either way freo should be in purple shorts.

Wtf would they add more white to there kit??

This is a bad sign for the season ahead

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Would love to see freo ditch the current shade of purple and go a lighter shade, the current one from a distance looks more navy. A lighter shade will have more of an identity

being at the ground today for north vs freo, freos jumped looked almost black from afar. looked even darker when players drench their jumpers in sweat/water.

The league still haven't learnt, despite the AFLW ditching white shorts, that one team does not have to be in white. It's so preventable. WHYYYYYY

North have obviously made a huge complaint and the AFL caved. Geelong still wear white shorts in home games, why can't North? Either apply the rule to both of them or not at all.

 

[lionbear]

I know I keep on about this, but why isn't Freo in Purple shorts today?

And Geelong in Navy would have been fine for round one.

See above. North have obviously kicked up a stink.

I mean, look. Home games yada yada, I get that. But there surely comes a time where they sit back and think "does it really matter? It's still our home game."

 

[Barrybran]

The Giants' jumper really pops. I was iffy on it but it looks good in play.

 

[Orange Paradox]

The white "G" looks ten times better than the charcoal "G" for the Giants away guernsey.

Still wish they did something more with the design though. Basically a glorified training guernsey.

 

[seaforthswan]

Wouldnt mind white numbers to complete the look. Maybe Charcoal socks too!
