There's no issue with this particular jumper, just it doesn't work against red teams. No reason they couldn't have a yellow/white third jumper.

I really like it as jumper, but a front that is equal parts yellow, blue and red isn’t ideal.
Not even close.
Ref Pies re blues.
From the back and left side it's ok - but front / right side it's pretty bad. Its the navy that causes the most dramas.
Disagree - a clash jumper that is a third dark (navy), a third light (yellow), and third medium (red) is always gonna cause problems, even if it "looks good".
One of the reasons I never liked the eagles tri panel - dark on one side, light on the other - then white to clash with teams with shorts.
Haven't they previously used a predominantly yellow jumper with red and blue hoops (i.e. same as their home jumper, but with a yellow rather than blue base)? That one looked fine, and did its job of avoiding a clash.

The blue you've pictured is far more acceptable than the blue you've described. Dees royal blue jumper is another one I think should never have been ticked off. Has to be Sky blue to be effective.
Crows are in white shorts, so no different to Carlton when away against Essendon.
A farce.
A farce.

We should be. Correct.
Just saying that the AFL made this mess and need to be the ones to clean it up.

Was there tonight. Genuine clash.
The side view is often overlooked but is important. It’s what we often see as we watch from the wing and play goes from one end to the other.
Tonight was red and black versus red and navy.
In general this is a shit of a jumper - it creates issues and clashes.
It doesn’t pass the peripheral view test, which is what is important. It’s just a mess of red and navy. White shorts don’t help, Essendon has white numbers.
A couple of times players from both sides handballed directly to the opposition and there’s no doubt it was this peripheral vision issue. On the edges of your vision they just blend together, particularly against the fence and the crowd. You need one team in a light colour.
It’s a shocker. Adelaide need a white kit. FWIW I think Essendon should have one too.

Gws and an old eagles strip look completely different, dark or light, when viewed from either side

Stuffed up the market though. The indigenous jumpers are already on discount
Carlton dont bother with a clash jumper when away to Essendon, thinking white shorts does the trick.
Adelaide just did the same.
Yep.
Need a proper clash kit policy.
White shorts when away, should be put in the bin. It aint local footy
Why we got rid of the yellow strip, I never know - I really liked it and it was effective against most teams
I like the strip we played in last night in isolation, I guess it has nostalgic properties to it, but as our main clash it was always going to be ineffective against a number of teams and last night was one of them

Essendon and Carlton are the same club.
Carlton vs Essendon is fine. One club has a great big sash of red across their bodies and only one team has any significant white (their shorts). I've been to this game 1000 times and never had an issue.
The big problem last night was Adelaide having Navy with a big splash of red, playing against Essendon in black with a big splash of red.
When they play against Essendon, Adelaide need to have a jumper that removes either the Navy or the Red completely. Even their main clash strip - predominantly navy with a yellow crow outline - would be far better and make for a completely fine match against Essendon.
TBH though most teams should have a standard home strip, fancy pants away strip (for marketing) and a white strip that they can wear when its clearly the best option.

Do you mean this one? NO. Just No. I'm not sure where you get the idea that navy blue & black provide good differentiation. You say Ess v Carl is fine - it would be so, so much better with Ess in red or Carl in white. Ess's red sash is simply not prominent enough from a distance.

The above is not even their main clash strip. It was for Gather Round.
Collingwood vs Carlton in the VFL today is horrible, especially from the back. The only way I can tell the teams apart from the back is the black vs white shorts

To be fair, I don't mind it as a jumper. But I'd rather they wore it as their preferred home kit as it allows clubs with light alternates to provide better contrast.

If it's a Sydney v Brisbane GF, with the Swans as the higher ranked team, would we see the teams in the kits they are wearing today, or would we see the Swans with red backs and the Lions in yellow?
Definitely the latter.

Both teams would likely wear their full home kits, they have as recently as a game in 2022 at the SCG. When we play Sydney in away games we usually wear our home kit.
