Jumper clash fails

[Chief]

A fair few kicks straight to the opposition, can't be for any other reason.

Can be.

I take my glasses off and look at the TV. I can easily tell the teams players apart.

Lions white kit would be better, but this is fine.

While I agree this isn’t the worst, it’s not about looking at them. You can tell any two teams apart by looking at them.

It’s about having the strongest possible contrast so that players and fans can very simply identify who is in their peripheral vision while they’re watching one part of the ground.

Same principle as high vis safety wear. It pops in your peripheral vision and you know clearly what is coming without totally focussing on it.

By this logic, Carlton and Collingwood shouldn't wear their home kit when they play each other! Madness!

Carlton v Collingwood is fine
But Collingwood v Carlton sucks balls

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Focus your eyes on the top right of the photo or something and the peripheral problem can be seen (pardon the pun).

A footy ground is huge (even on TV when the wide shot is on) so the peripheral is important.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Now do the same here. It’s a huge difference.

The crazy thing is Brisbane literally have 4 different jumpers. Maroon, Red, Yellow and White and none really work, but I reckon Red (Fitzroy) with Blue shorts could work? Even with 4 different coloured jumpers a 5th one Blue or Navy would be best. The great thing for Brisbane is they all look great and the all instantly look like Brisbane, because they’re all the same.

Predominantly white would have worked better for Brissy tonight. But I still think the league should reject dumb jumpers like the Giants.

Wonder if they'll plonk us in white shorts against a white team next week

Cats should rightly get the white shorts. They are normally quite cooperative with this.

Geelong in white shorts with us wearing Maroon would be ideal visually.

Everytime we're away against them they run the blue. Would be so much cleaner if they went white and we were in the home kit.

You'll be wearing Fitzroy colours hopefully.

You'll be wearing Fitzroy colours hopefully.

They did 2 years ago
But with white shorts because we had blue on

I do wonder though if that was due to Brisbane only ever wearing the Fitzroy jumper in away games and therefore only have white shorts to go with it.
Every photo I can find of Brisbane in that jumper, they have white shorts on

 

[Heardy_101]

Yeah next week will be interesting.

Cats in white and Lions full home hopefully, but you get the feeling it'll be cats in navy shorts and Brisbane in their red jumper

The only coloured shorts we have is Maroon, wish we had either red or blue shorts to wear for away games.

I know this was against Collingwood but this was the last time we wore our full home kit at the MCG.

If the GF is Syd v Brisbane could be terrible.
Other three potential match ups are fine

It should be okay

The game being played in Melbourne is moot. Besides, the full home strip will provide the best differentiation for the match and without having to wear white shorts.

The AFL just needs to assign it - Geelong home guernsey, white shorts, and Brisbane Lions home guernsey, maroon shorts. Even footy supporters try and complicate this shit, saying Brisbane should wear their Fitzroy strip. They do the Fitzroy thing very well during the season, as do Sydney. This is a freakin major final and they're Brisbane Lions.

I agree, personally wearing our home kit against the Cats is the better option regardless of it being played in Melbourne.

Why do Geelong wear their blue shorts in home games against Brisbane, but white against most other clubs?

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Prob needed to wear the fitzroy jumper as the best option

Home uniform with the dark maroon would have made more sense against GWS's orange.

As long as Lions are in Maroon shorts it doesn’t matter.

Blue as their clash "cool colour" makes the most sense, rather than using warm colours like yellow when they already have red and maroon uniforms as their warm colours.
