Jumper clash fails

[Heardy_101]

Not related to finals but why on earth do Carlton not wear a clash jumper against Collingwood when it’s their away game?

To a lesser extent why don’t they also wear one against Essendon?

Oh boy...

Please take a ticket and a seat. Someone will be with you.

 

[Soggy2112]

Don't Sturt have navy shorts as well? Or is that for away games?

I feel like the SANFL needs a clash policy

Have gone back and forth between the two, currently just the light blue, also wore white away against Centrals

Carlton should probably wear their clash kit but its not worth getting outraged over.

Round 8 2024 - Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn
Dogs - Home Jumper, Royal Shorts
Hawks - Brown Jumper, White Shorts.

Round 22 2023 - Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs
Hawks - Home Jumper, Brown Shorts.
Dogs - Home Jumper, White Shorts.

Round 7 2023 - Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn
Dogs - Home Jumper, Blue Shorts.
Hawks - Brown Jumper, White Shorts.


Question for someone smarter than I, why would the teams wear certain kit during the season, when there is nothing surer that this Friday night will see the Hawks in Home Jumper?

Teams preferences in final seems to be to wear home jumper as much as possible, regardless of what other heritage/promotional etc jumpers they might have worn in season.

E.g. Lions and Swans both wore their home jumpers instead of their “Melbourne” kits in last years finals.

 

[Billy ray]

Didnt they use to have the jumpers set up in either afl house or somewhere for the week ahead? Certainly before covid.

 

[eddiesmith]

Swans v GWS is messy if GWS wears its home top and the AFL goes AFL and put them in white shorts.

Previously, GWS has worn its "never surrender" black top. so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.

Hopefully in the black kit. Looks awesome

Giants today have confirmed that’s what they’ll be wearing this week.

Hopefully they wear it for any potential match v hawks and in gf again if v Sydney

 

[BobbyMorri]

Its a good top when they use it.

 

[Billy ray]

Hawks will be in white shorts is my tip of what will happen and **** it up

Always gonna be white shorts away

 

[Bunk Moreland]

It’s not that it looks that bad, it’s just that it’s an indicator of the big problem - the AFL having absolutely NFI.

 

[Heardy_101]

Am I the only person who doesn't have an issue with the Hawks in white shorts? Like it was going to be any other scenario

The white shorts in general don’t bother me tbh.

I can absolutely see the argument against them (any white in the home team really negates their effectiveness) just doesn’t personally get me going that much.

For me, the white shorts in a game like last night is so far down the list of absolutely basic issues that the AFL manages to stuff up in this area that it drifts into 'complaining for the sake of complaining' territory.

Yeah it would be nice if the Hawks had gold shorts for an away match-up like last night. Yeah, it's daft when Hawthorn wears white shorts away to a team like North or Collingwood. But - just my opinion - the white shorts caused absolutely no issues last night, I think they're much better and stand out more than if they'd gone with brown shorts (their only other option). And even if they started wearing gold shorts as the default away, it'd still be worth having the white shorts for when they play away against Adelaide, Richmond, West Coast etc.

AFL should ban white shorts.
Having different rules for the men and the women is sexist.
Should be one unified rule.

I agree, because the AFLW proves that white shorts aren't needed

What's happening next Saturday night ? I recall using our home kit against the Giants away a few years ago.

We're likely wearing our clash for this game.

So we should be all good for the prelims then:

Geelong v GWS fine
Geelong v Brissy fine
Sydney v Hawthorn fine
Sydney v Port fine

Please nobody in white shorts, except Geelong. Love to see the Giants in the all black or all orange if they get through. In fact, just throw your original jumper in the bin.

If it's Cats v Lions it should be Geelong it white shorts and Brisbane in full home kit.

Every chance Geelong pulls something funky

They always wear navy shorts against Brisbane, and I don't think Geelong have been the home team against GWS since they changed their home jumper a few years ago. I don't think GWS wear their 'home' jumper in any away games either now but I may be mistaken

 

[Blackhawk42]

If Hawthorn and GWS manage to pull off an unlikely GF appearance against one another, who is the top ranked side?

Would it be Hawthorn for knocking off the top seed in a prelim??

No, I just wish we hadn't played at home against GWS in the last couple of years. You're right in a roundabout way though: GWS wore their Indigenous guernsey for their games at GMHBA in 2023 and 2024.

Yes sorry that's what I meant, always seems to be solid navy vs white or white vs charcoal
