Well it's official, after years of trading in their players we are becoming the Giants as next seasons clash junior is the same wolf grey of this year but with orange... Not sure how much orange or if the CFC will be orange but lock it in.

Couldn't be bothered looking for the rumour thread but anyway it's a fact.

Nike, you can piss off and leave us alone if true.

Nah look I'm for it.

Carlton are the one club who could run out in any colour and look quintessentially Carlton because the monogram is so iconic.

Bring on fluro colours IMO

 

[Robco]

Can't believe that's true. Carlton should only ever wear two colours, navy and white.

 

[Klim]

Training gear is already in orange for this season.

Never understand why you guys didn’t reintroduce yellow from the original jersey for the clash. Having said that, white clash was great I thought

Any other colour than the one colour a team bases its whole branding on...

For anyone questioning the validity of the source:

I'm a retail buyer in the sporting goods industry. Check my history on these clash jumpers. Broke the Livestrong yellow first as well.

Orange is the corporate color of their swoosh so it's no surprise they like using it where possible.

Seeing as the colour description lists wolf grey first and then total orange my guess is that it will be grey all.over with either an orange CFC or maybe a navy CFC but with orange panels somewhere...

This cut-off tee template is just the worst. How the mighty have fallen.

Nike give up

I'm not gonna believe it till I see it, this seems like a pretty extreme design decision that you wouldn't think Carlton would sign off on. Feels like a very European Football thing on Nike's part.

It was actually supposed to be white, but they just achieved it by using chamois, meaning it yellowed when it got wet. It would be fun to see Carlton strap some car shammies to their shoulders though.

 

[Timewaster]

Fake news. No way in hell. There'd be a massive fan backlash that would probably see the board fall.

TBH I'd be surprised if the stupid grey experiment lasts into 2019. We'll be back to navy and white as God intended...

Also aren't ISC said to be signing Carlton?

At the end of 2019, Nike's deal runs out, so unless Carlton scrap that, we're still with them.

Swear I’ve seen Carlton wear orange socks before too. I know their women did against Brisbane or Melbourne this year.

That was in support of 'Respect', a movement for violence against women, if I recall correctly.. But we have definitely dabbled in orange in recent years.

That’s what it was. At Princes Park there was a giant orange CFC there too that said Carlton Respect and I think I signed my Instagram handle on there.

Now we know why the Giants want to drop the GWS branding. They want to relocate to Carlton!

GWS-Carlton merger confirmed

Sounds like a takeover to me

That Carlton jumper will look pretty good.

Carlton clash jumper should either be that creamy colour they had in their original jumper, sky blue or white
