Wondering about who wears what in a Grand Final? Check out the Grand Final Policy thread!​

My thoughts on all of this.. just accept what the AFL tells you to wear! You are in a GF afterall and 16 other clubs would love to be in your position!

Unfortunately while it's all well and good to come here and stamp your foot on the issue, ultimately it's up to the AFL. Of course the club can put a request in but usually the AFL say no.

If it comes to a Port vs Brisbane Grand Final, Port will be the home team and thus get first rights and dibs on home uniform. Brisbane may get told their Maroon with white shorts is ok, they may get told to wear the Red jumper with white shorts as per the regular season when you play away to us. Heck, we might get chucked in the white shorts like 2004.

But at the end of the day, the AFL decides it.

(Although to be fair, I'd be furious if for some reason we get chucked in our clash jumper)

I think (both this finals series and in the home and away) Port/Richmond could play Brisbane in the full home kits

If we wear the full kit against the Suns and Sydney it doesn't make much sense we couldn't against the Lions

We played you earlier this year at the gabba where we wore our home Guernsey and Port wore theirs with white shorts. I don't see why it couldn't be reversed. There's obviously no clash between the jumpers

Because it was your home game - and we also wore our clash as well.

As for why it couldn't be reversed is due to the AFLs stubborn policy.

Maroon causes a clash apparently

Yeah Maroon and black shorts against one another would never work... Oh wait

 

[Spanna_]

I'm sorry but surely nobody here thinks all Black and Maroon clash, surely it's an adequate contrast.

 

[parano1a]

just have Port in the bars

Not gonna happen.

 

[Heardy_101]

Not gonna happen.

Nek minnit

To me Maroon should be in the same category as Sydney's Red rule

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Funnily enough, the fact that Collingwood are out of the Finals Series, the jumper has already been approved this year, made up and the whole 150th year thing I could see it happening, literally the one in a million chance everything lines up for it

The blue of North, WC and the Bulldogs the same

Already been proven when Adelaide played WCE in a Prelim and WCE wore full wings vs Adelaide full home

It's not always done - WC often wear white shorts away to us instead of just the blue shorts

I know but it just shows how dumb it really is.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I agree wholeheartedly - the "away in white" rule is ridiculous

 

[Heardy_101]

Especially when there are rural country Football leagues that allow clubs to wear coloured shorts against one another

Any confirmation on whether Richmond will be in yellow jumpers tonight?

Interesting that they still use the BLK template (collar aside, that part’s hard to tell)

Just lazy. It’s always been like that for the clash, i think they updated the home design because of the obvious yellow change.

After the bullshit from the last final Richmond played against us regarding jumpers...

Umpires wearing a combination of port and tigers kits

What happened the red/blue kits??? Who tf ticked this off?

 

[Heardy_101]

Pretty sure one of the Port players actually went to handball to an Umpire too in the FWD50.

Not a good look - the blue was fine.
