This league is such an embarrassment.
That would have been fine. Bulldogs with white shorts even better

They were trying to avoid a clash and this is what we ended up with?

Melbourne with the indigenous jumper and red shorts would have been much better than this

So red and royal blue clash but navy and royal blue don't? Not sure I understand the AFL's logic.

The commentators are going on about 'floating fixture' and they didnt know who theyd play????
THAT WAS 2020!!!!
2021 might mean timeslots arent decided. But the fixture of which round you play a team has been out all year!
Idiots.

LOL so the AFL really went "you know what this match needs both teams in mostly blue with a bit of red and white. Would be less of a clash if Melbourne were in navy shorts. Or say a mostly red indigenous jumper and red shorts.
Honestly some clubs need to get more creative, not every colour on your guernsey needs to be represented in even proportions each time.
for one off designs you can go heavy on one colour with minor trim of the others, and if you know youāre playing a team that shares similar colours in that one off game, pick up the phone and work it out so it works for everyone.
some clubs do it well and lean in to it, others seem to not want to to offend the other colours on their guernseyā¦

Whatās funny is this is probably closer to a clash than the alternative ever would have been.

Essendon and Collingwood can both show up in black jumpers on ANZAC Day and yet Melbourne are stopped from wearing a red jumper because it was deemed to be a clash with a royal blue jumper. The favouritism towards certain clubs is actually absurd.
God I hate opposite colours from front and back of a jumper like that first one. Unfortunately Sydney and Giants do it for thier standard home jumper.
Port with the number panel is even worse.
Yet I can't remember us clashing since we bought in those 3 options.
Mostly we wear either the normal jumper or the dramatically lighter blue alternate.
One is dark, one is light. That's a clear fix more often that not. As long as jumpers are solid colours and there's a distinction between light and dark it doesn't matter that they are the same colour, as seen tonight.
I think we mostly wear the red back against the Eagles away and it seems very useful for that specific purpose.
This is what I came here to ask.
How the hell does the AFL have everyone saying this? Not just commentators but itās on some social media posts and players like Steven May saying itās understandable due to a floating fixture.
We have known the dogs play the dees in Rd 11 Sir Doug Nicholls round since the fixture came out last year.
It is utterly bizarre they are all saying it.
It just screams how much AFL accredited media is just a mouth piece for the big boss upstairs.
Very Joffrey "my father was murdered by our enemies" vibes given we all knew the fixture and even if this game was held in Perth the Dogs would be the nominal home side.
The line is "we didn't know the fixture" so here we are.

Brisbane have a white version of their indigenous for this game.
.
How dumb do they think we are?
For nerds like us posting on bigfooty probably fairly intelligent.
They just realise that we make up a small % of the total audience and that the vast majority will be mouthbreathers who will lap it up.

It's great to celebrate indigenous culture and all but these issues are bound to arise when you're basically using a match-day uniform as a piece of artwork. Same goes for Anzac round singlets. Commemorate these occasions with an additional logo on each singlet that is the same, like a poppy on anzac round uniforms, etc.
The AFL are still shit with match-day uni's.
And let's just pull the white shorts policy. Seriously it's ****ing stupid. There was a need for it once when clubs couldn't afford alternate strips. The AFL is supposed to be a multi-million dollar League! Should encourage clubs to adopt white shorts in their main uniform. They all seem to think that white shorts is inferior for some reason. Why? Geelong try to avoid it as much as they can, when they classy wearing them. Even North inversed their colour scheme to avoid it.
I reckon Footscray look great with white shorts and should adopt it in home games. Afterall, its one of their official colours and it suits their singlet which has white in it! Definitely better than a lot of other clubs that are forced to use it with their home singlet because they are the away team.
