Collingwood jumper clash round 2

[drewey10]

So i gather everyone remembers back 2 seasons, last time we played the pies in a home game & the big deal about the AFL demanding North change to an away strip, eventhough it was a Roos home game.

Brayshaw at the time came out & said that we would never change for Collingwood again.

So what will happen in round 2?

 

[robaba]

We will be wearing our home strip.

Hey Drewey

It is official that we will wear our traditional home jumper and Collingwood will be wearing a variation on their strip. i think it is more white stripes than black so the black will be less dominant. it was done a few months ago, so already has been discussed in this forum.

It's the other way round.

 

[The OBSTacle]

It's the other way round.

Collingwood - 2 stripes.

Pepe Le Pew - 2 stripes

Coincidence?

It's the other way round.

Tough call for Collingwood

Yep, and it never should have been any other way.

I am personally wrapped about this as I have sworn to never go watch a North side in that sky blue monstrosity and now I can get to the game.

Nothing stands in the way of us adopting a similiar strip in royal blue and white in future.

However, personally, I reckon the royal blue/white V jumper should have always been our clash strip.

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah im not sure why we never reversed our striped either, all though I dont see much difference so how it prevents a "clash" I dont know?

But yeah the blue/white V should be what it is.

 

[KillaKanga]

Yes yes yes. Royal Blue with white V should be our only clash strip!!!!! Bring it back!!

 

[toepoker]

Royal blue with the white V seems to be the blindingly obvious solution, and yet we continue to ignore it. Is there something else at play? Have we been told we have to have a light-coloured alternative strip? If not then I can't work out why we continue with the horrendous Argy number.

Apparently we changed our clash strip.
There was a picture of Wellsy in a very light royal blue colour. Sort of a bold baby blue. Think back to when our blue was very bright and alot more noticeable than what it is today.

We've changed it, just not enough for my liking. I've seen the picture you're referring to, & I don't like it.

What was wrong with our 2007 away jumper?

Its definitely an improvement. One which i can handle.
And i reckon leave it as it is till it turns stale and merch wants to make more sales by pumping out more gear.

Nothing, even with the Kangaroo

 

[snrub]

Nothing, even with the Kangaroo

The Kangaroo ruined it. I like the shield kangaroo logo but mixing that with the classic V jumper was a mess. One idea or the other, don't throw the kitchen sink at it. Much like the nasty grey stripe kangaroo jumper from about 2002. Complete travesty. 2005 blue jumper with the white kangaroo outline was very good, albeit outdated by branding.

 

[Massive Unit]

How about a nice number from Coogi? Say something like this with a big mean looking roo on the front......



I think they even make them for men!

Brilliant.

It's pretty much universal these days to change the away strip every year (for the $). Baseball's the only team sport I can think of that doesn't, and even there the poor teams do.

Well, I for one am outraged.

Its clear our away strip is demeaning towards women.

I mean, biting and licking. Seriously?

Well if Smurfette loves 'em, I don't see why any spacious pachyderms need to be concerned.

Maybe I should have included a bucketload of these

I don't know what the you know what swear word I mean fuss is over the North/Pies jumper clash. FFS we've been playing them forever and it's only since the past few seasons that there's been a howdoyoudo over it. FFS back in the days of B&W TV I could tell the difference.


Sheesh!!
