Discussion Grand Final Matchups 2024 - What will your team wear?

[The Victorian]

could we see swans in home/red vs lions in home/maroon?

Brisbane in full maroon and Swans with white shorts would be logical and look better.

2024 GF Brisbane/Fitzroy v Sydney/South. A brilliant match up for old time supporters of both relocated clubs. 1899 GF was only time these clubs played off in a GF. These were uniforms that day. Bit different as Fitzroy were the higher ranked team that season. Fitzroy won by a point 3.9.27 to 3.8.26. Game was played in heavy rain. Supposed to be sunny next Saturday. What's the chances of this being the quarter time score haha

I wouldn’t be upset if Sydney wore their V jumper in the GF

Maybe Brisbane could even replace the lion with some sort of monogram…

It will either be this or Lions in their clash/white

I suspect they'll wear the Bears strip with white shorts.

This'll be interesting. Sydney have white as a core jumper colour, so I'd straight up not put Brisbane in white shorts.

Last year's GF was dark vs dark with white shorts for the lower-ranked team, so maybe that's an acceptable precedent for Brisbane in their threepeat jumper. If maroon & red are considered outside the realm of dark vs dark, then Brisbane will be asked to wear their Bears jumper (I'd have them in maroon shorts, but they'll be in white).

I'd personally put Sydney in white shorts with their home jumper (with Brisbane in full maroon) but I'm pretty sure the last time that happened was against Essendon 25 years ago.

Sydney might just be amenable to wearing their South Melbourne jumper if the AFL ask them to facilitate an optimal contrast (let's be honest hear, last year's grand final wasn't great visually - my eyes were strained trying to differentiate, especially when play was on the member's wing).

Otherwise, we have a pre-season knockout - this year - between these two sides in Blacktown. Wasn't the prettiest but passable nonetheless, and gives both sides their preference.

Would love to know Mero's thoughts.

As someone mentioned earlier, gotta remember it’ll be a day game and looking likely to be sunny at this stage, not sure if that would make both teams home kits more or less of a contrast.

I don’t think Lions fans would be thrilled with it but the more I look at it, the more I think it could be this.

 

[Mr Eagle]

AFL logic means it will probably be Swans home with red vs Brisbane home with white.

 

[Dazzler9]

AFL logic means it will probably be Swans home with red vs Brisbane home with white.

I expect this to happen.

When will we find out?

I think they'll make them play in the Bears Clash jumpers.
But the pic above shows there's no reason to, Maroon is a fair way from Red.

The time of day does make a difference though, red v maroon is workable at night but in the sunlight, that won’t be pretty

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I would actually love if we wore the clash but with the maroon shorts.
That or the Swans wear the South Melbourne V with white shorts, and the Lions wear the Roy kit with blue shorts.

Do it, you cowards.

 

[Commando]

Best match up is Swans in white south red V and white shorts
Lions in home kit maroon shorts
