Jumper clash fails

[Soggy2112]

Every team should have a white kit.

I disagree but that particular argument has been done to death.

 

[cactuscall]

The only argument is it let's the home team wear it's home colours without a clash, if there is a clash. A white kit should be seen as a good thing from the players POV too btw.

 

[Roylion]

Every team should have a white kit.

No.

Brisbane's clash jumper works very well against teams with a perceived clash with the maroon home jumper and the red away jumper.



I much prefer this clash jumper to any white monstrosity they've worn as a clash.

 

[The Mailman Delivers]

Agreed. Yellow works well and Richmond, WCE & Bris shouldnt be forced into white kits.

Even though I'm from the Fitzroy side of the family I'd really happily see us run out in this more often. Its a good combo of both sides of our history, looks good and provides a good contrast to a few different teams

Because
1) it's a great guernsey
2) the red jumper is worn for all Victorian games and non Queensland games, except when the AFL determines a clash between the two uniforms. In that case the away team has to wear their clash uniform.

The 2024 clash jumper for the Lions is

Fair enough. I didn't realise the Roy guernsey was regularly worn outside Victoria as well.

 

[Walshawk]

It’s a great clash jumper but I keep thinking GWS is playing.

I keep thinking it was GWS which ruined my watching experience for the first half a hour. This is a reason why clash kits should still use existing club colours if possible.

So North v Bulldogs and Richmond v Carlton the two likely problem games this round?

The former is problematic due to both clubs having strong use of blue and white but at least the latter actually has a solid, logical solution. Trouble is, it won’t be used.

Also I really hope freo wear the purple shorts v the swans. Last time out we went the white shorts with purple shirts and it wasn’t great. At least I think it was them?

If North wear white shorts it’d be 100% fine. No different to Collingwood in their clash vs Port.

The only people who suggest this have white in their kit.

North v Bulldogs is 1.45pm on Saturday. Who's watching footy at that time - apart from North and Bulldogs fans?

Expect North in full home kit, and Bulldogs in white shorts.

Found this interesting
This is what the AFL needs but at same time need to do it right (one team all dark one all light)


Prior to the season, home teams are given a window of time to go on a portal called “LockerVision”and select which uniforms they will wear at home. After every home team makes its choices, the NBA opens the portal again for the road team to pick.

Column: Here's why the Lakers keep wearing purple jerseys instead of gold at home

The Lakers' iconic gold jersey is a huge fan favorite, but the team keeps treating the Staples Center faithful to purple threads. What's up with that?

www.latimes.com

Yeah, good read. It doesn't have to be as hard as we make it:

"Home teams pick which uniform they will wear at home and then the visiting team will choose a contrasting uniform."

That's really all it has to be, it's just up to the AFL to enforce it.

From the back, the only way to identify the jumper as Carlton is the sponsors. The average person on the street with any rudimentary knowledge of the AFL teams and team colours would rightfully believe it it a Giants strip.

I was outside when that game started but could still see the telly. I caught a glimpse and thought, well I keep doing what I'm doing because obviously the game hasn't started yet. Thinking they're still showing previous match ups. I reckon it was 10mins in when I thought, why the hell are they still showing GWS v Geelong match ups. So I went inside....... Oh I see.

 

[phantom13]

Brisbane v Melbourne really saved by the white shorts tbh. Maroon and royal blue v royal blue and red.

 

[The Mailman Delivers]

Not a mega clash, but this is where Melbourne ideally should be in NSW blue.

Yes works because no white on brisbane.
If Brisbane had white numbers thought it wouldn’t work.

And yeh an even lighter blue would be better.

They’re just not even similar aside from both having some orange.

I’d prefer they not wear this match up in a clash jumper but even that wouldn’t be the worst clash we’ve seen. Let alone enough to confuse the two teams in a different game.

North vs dogs won't be a problem if:
North in white shorts and dogs in blue shorts (don't give me the bs home shorts etc)

Richmond vs blues - if blues wear their white jumper- no issue. Although, it's a big 4 clash that the afl love to roll out the "traditional" jumpers and create issues with

So yeh neither of those things happening

The wide shots are pretty bad, if not for the shorts

The Giants Charcoal is the one that’s much more similar.

People have been saying home. I’m still pretty sure I know which team is which.

Good. The two teams can wear those guernseys and the away team can wear the white shorts.
