Freo and swans should be fox/seven especially for wa people

What do we think, Hawks in the away strip?

Western Bulldogs has been renamed Footscray this round.

The table in OP is for Victoria. Of course other states get their home teams on FTA.

3ish years in to ISC and I still can't figure the reasoning behind the shoulder panels. At least the brown looks brown-ish under lights. Stripes on the back remain a gripe (thanks to either Adidas' laziness and/or deviousness).

Haven't done this in a while but what I think for the week:

Carlton: Home/Navy v Hawthorn: Home/White

Footscray: Anniversary/Royal v Collingwood: Home/White

Essendon: Home/Black v Adelaide: Clash/White
Port Adelaide: Home/Black v Richmond: Clash/White
St Kilda: Home/Black v Geelong: Home/White

Brisbane: Home/Maroon v West Coast: Clash/White
North Melbourne: Home/Royal v Melbourne: Home/White
Fremantle: Home/Purple v Sydney: Home/Red

Was half expecting Hawks to be in their away jumper - it's the exact thing they did when they introduced the inverse.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

The crow plaster on the front their jumper looks crap

Essendon v Adelaide is such a weird matchup, it kinda doesn’t clash but also kinda does even though it really shouldn’t.

Crows should just wear the gold jumpers for this matchup.

I’m sick of being gaslighted by the majority of people that think the new Adelaide away guernsey is good. It is absolute trash

Up there as one of the laziest/ugliest guernseys in the league, not too far behind GC for me really

It's the clash v contrast debate. It doesn't clash but it doesn't sufficiently contrast either.

It's so bad. I said before it looks like a bad local footy guernsey.

 

[parano1a]

This is where the AFL needs to step in and direct Adelaide to wear the yellow strip. Wearing a predominantly red clash against Essendon makes no sense.

Just noticed we’re rocking a very subtle commemorative guernsey in honour of Boak breaking the club games record. For those who have noticed the number is quite high, the SANFL used to count preseason games in a player’s tally, so this includes preseason games played by Boak before the AFL decided they meant nothing (I forget which year this was, Mero would know though).

 

[Heardy_101]

Good to see West Coast in the Peril vs Brisbane.

I seem to recall that they usually wear the normal Wings against them.

It's terrible, especially since their 2024 away guernsey was their best, but their current away guernsey is not as bad as that abominable orange gradient early 2000s West Coast away guernsey that gets contrarian praise on here.

It's funny because the AFL counts pre season games when it comes to life membership.

bring back the 2016-2017 gold clash

 

[seaforthswan]

Let away teams v North wear home shorts like it happens vs Sydney.
Melb in white is ridiculous

 

[Heardy_101]

I see North still haven't grown up

If Melbourne and Footscray can wear their home jumpers against each other then Navy and White don't clash. Melbourne's navy shorts against North would be fine.

Yes. White shorts doesn't improve the visuals, navy shorts does improve while still avoiding a clash.
Makes perfect sense, not breaking any news here.

Have a sook Reylo.
