News Carlton’s 2019 clash jumper fiasco

Puma should have a new collar for tigers, a slightly deeper yellow to get completely rid of the fluro (lets be honest we are using Dortmunds yellow) and remove any watermarks from the jumpers because they look like pjs

also a new shorts design and remove the tiger logo off the shorts

do all the above and we will have perfect jumper. i also have a fantasy about nib changing their green box logo to black :D

If by new shorts design you mean a thick stripe down the side ala pre-08 then yes
 
I'm all for clash jumpers being in colours that have nothing to do with the team. I'd love to see Freo with a red version for away games. The white is getting stale

Red still hs something to do with the team, though..
 
I'd imagine the Carlton clash won't be too different than its current iteration for a couple reasons:

Carlton, while seemingly getting a bit of special treatment with the AFL's rules of 1 jumper/2 years, they generally keep the same idea for around 2 years, I'd say that's probably because even though their away kit is stylized differently pretty often, it's still the same idea, and possibly because it's Nike.
Carlton's worst iteration (imo) is the swooping shield that it had in 2013, which went away from the front in 2014 (maybe the AFL thought there was too much navy, which there was) then inexplicably reappeared in 2015, albeit with the new/old monogram, then in 2016 revert back to its 2014 state... what was going on there??

2017/18 is a little less strange since it's still the same jumper, with a recolour and sans the grey markings. I'm going to go ahead and guess that the 2019 strip will more-or-less the same as 2018 but with orange side-streaks instead of navy? (if the rumor is to be believed, which I'm inclined to)
It could be another nike-esque pattern, but I doubt it'd be the same as 2017 as their patterns rarely stick around more than a year.

Anyway, I really like that Carlton and Nike are experimenting with soccer style redesigns on a yearly basis, I'm all for it and actually hope they take more risks, as long as the monogram is still center-stage.

Here's some Nike away patterns from this forthcoming World Cup I could see working with Carlton.

The idea kind of makes sense.
Carlton in anything but navy blue will be unpopular so you may as well go nuts and start wearing fluro colours.
 
would prefer baby blue with navy cuffs and collar/ white shorts and navy cfc monogram
The most sensible thing you've said in quite some time

I'd suggest getting back on the cans
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Carlton wear orange caps as part of their uniforms at some point in the late 1800's? Because there's the semi-tenuous link between the colour and the club's history...

Here's the list of caps used:
Essendon (Navy), Geelong (Red), Richmond (Black; Yellow and Black); South (Navy and White; Red and White), Footscray (Red)
And St Kilda used a white handkerchief to distinguish between them and Essendon.

Carlton have not worn an orange cap previously. Though I think I've seen training pics of orange caps.
