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

Could we see a repeat of 2002/03 if Collingwood play Brisbane? Or would Brissy wear the fitzroy kit?

Collingwood are the higher ranked team at the end of h/a so lions would wear Fitzroy red and white shorts I think.

 

[parano1a]

lions would wear Fitzroy red and white shorts I think.

There was no clash in 2002/03 Grand Finals so I can't see why the same uniforms couldn't be worn...
A lot of Queenslanders would be watching so Brisbane should be in maroon

 

[Heardy_101]

Brisbane were the away team in both games from memory and it was at Eddie's insistance that both teams be in full home; Brisbane would've been in white shorts as per the 2001 Grand Final otherwise.

 

[lionbear]

And it would be a bonus hoop to accompany the other hoops already present. Full on hooped shorts I think would just look nutty.

Very bad miss read, thought you were talking about socks

Big apology for that one

 

[lionbear]

Brisbane generally only wear Vic red in deemed clash game come finals (Bulldogs, Melbourne, Adelaide).

It will be full Maroon vs Full White Friday night

Last time we saw them not play either Dogs or Bulldogs in an away final was v Port Adelaide in 2004 GF

Also, found it interesting that their VFL team wore their clash jumper vs Casey in the PF on Saturday.

 

[Dazzler9]

If Brisbane and Sydney win this week, what are the guernsey options? Does Brisbane have a yellow jumper they can wear? Or would we see Brisbane full home, Sydney full white?

 

[Storm20]

Yeah I would expect Brisbane to wear their full home and wouldn't be surprised if that means Geelong are in white shorts. Both sides would like to be wearing their premiership kit so deep into the finals. I'd expect it to be like the 2004 prelim.

Brisbane usually wear lions red and white shorts away against Geelong

Not in a final, there is still a little rough waters amongst Bears and Fitzroy supporters and wearing the Fitzroy jumper when not needed in a final can cause a couple of little ripples, Fiztroy jumper is an away jumper during home and away but becomes a clash come finals.

Sydney if you noticed went with their Sydney Jumper and not their South Jumper in the first final.

Last few away finals Brisbane have played in, it's been in either the Red jumper or clash jumper

Away finals the last few years

2022 Melbourne (Has always been deemed clash
2021 Melbourne (see 2022)
2020 NIL
2019 NIL
2009 Bulldogs (Has been deemed clash at that time)
2004 NIL
2003 Full Maroon V Collingwood MCG, Full Maroon V Sydney Stadium Australia

No use going any further back as no away/clash jumpers used prior to this.

So this is actually the first ever final where Brisbane is the away team and not deemed that Maroon home is a clash.

[Dazzler9]

No reason Geelong and Brisbane can't both be full home.

 

[Billy ray]

Brisbane will defn be in the red fitzroy and white shorts with that tweet from krock

Both are inferior to the originals IMO

Could probably make a case for GF I suppose but it’s hard to keep everyone happy

Unlikely but Brisbane could also be in Maroon w white shorts

 

[Heardy_101]

Yep, gonna be a shit show.

 

[makri]

Will be the first time Nike have a team in the grand final since 2004

Is that guaranteed?

I don't keep up with that side of things.

 

[The Victorian]

Yes

 

[makri]

Yes, both Sydney and Collingwood in Nike at the moment, one of those two teams will move onto the grand final.

I was hoping Geelong would be in white shorts and we would be in home jumper and maroon shorts. That's a bit disappointing to hear.

 

[parano1a]

Geelong in home /navy shorts v Brisbane home / maroon shorts would not be a clash IMO.

We know it's not, and it's happened before.

But SOMEONE must wear white shorts apparently, unless your name is Sydney.
