Jumper clash fails

[larrikin]

Going back some years, I wonder how things went in the 1965 and 1966 VFA First Division Grand Finals, both of which were Port Melbourne vs. Waverley Panthers? The design of the Port and Waverley jumpers were near identical, the only difference being that Port wore red and blue vertical striped jumpers, Waverley red and black vertical striped jumpers. Even if the Panthers wore red shorts it still would have been an almighty clash.

I think Richmond played Claremont at one point - at that point Claremomt was wearing an extremely dark navy jumper with a gold sash. Someone will have footage.

EDIT - or was it Collingwood v Swan Districts

Collingwood wore a white jumper with black yoke !!

Ah did they?

How did their constitution handle that?

Why are Brisbane wearing white shorts at home against a team with a predominantly white jumper?

Probably because they forgot to get some royal blue shorts made up to complete the kit. They usually wear their red Fitzroy-inspired away guernseys with white shorts so it was either that or their maroon home shorts which would look a bit odd.

maroon doesn't go with red and they don't have blue shorts. they should really get them made for the games where they wear fitzroy colours.

Honestly I think red shorts would look better with their red based jumpers than blue.

the point is to replicate the look of the old fitzroy jumpers and the roys wore blue shorts from inception

Red shorts would make them look a bit too much like the suns though I feel. I think blue shorts are definitely the better option

Mate's old man played in 1978 vfa div 2 grand final, Frankston v Camberwell. Video somewhere on here.

Not a clash issue but West Coast’s white numbers on yellow are more genius stuff. Statisticians nightmare

When Fitzroy first moved to the reddish colour instead of maroon in 1975 (for colour TV purposes), we were horrible yellow shorts and maroon, blue and gold striped socks. I still prefer the maroon jumper to red

the yellow shorts were just for away games. didn't even last the whole season, they'd switched back to white half way through 1975

Ports Dark Coloured Indigenous jumper has a white back panel for their black numbers. It looks near identical to the back of Freo’s all white Indigenous kit.

If you design a Black Coloured Jumper, why not carry the colour through the whole thing?

Because tradition...

Port and GWS easily have the worst jumper backs in the league. Port should get rid of the white number Panel and GWS should go Charcoal on their home.

What's the problem with GWS' back (except when they used to play Sydney in their red back home guernsey)

It doesn't match the front or the shorts.

Was about to bring up Sydney, then I saw your shorts comment.

Sydney's works aesthetically GWS doesn't, dark backs just work better with light fronts than the other way around.
