It is general courtesy to not create a new jumper that creates a clash. We are not on any high horse, Hawthorn had to change their colours when it joined the VFA because of Williamstown wearing Blue and Gold.
And I'm damn glad we don't use that theory these days or how much fun would Gold Coast and GWS have had picking colours.
The Suns sat down and said "well, we're the Suns. So, red?"
The AFL said "nope, clashes with Sydney and Brisbane"
"How about gold?" "Nope. Clashes with Hawthorn's piss and West Coast's home"
"How about light blue? For the sky?" "Nope. Bulldogs wear a lighter blue and so do the Eagles away"
"Well, can we wear green?" "Nahh sorry, reserved that for the umpires"
"Well. How shall we form an identity us as the Suns?"
