Jumper clash fails

[Seattle Mariners]

From front on, the current Fremantle vs Melbourne AFLW clash is a shocker.

The no white short policy for the AFLW definitely played a part in the clash.

(Totally understand why the girls prefer not to wear white shorts)

 

[Seattle Mariners]

The uniforms for today’s game are bang on.

Geelong should wear their blue shorts in home games against most sides.

 

[Underarm]

Looks like Geelong have gotten precious again in finals and forcing the opposition into white shorts again.

 

[Simon Phoenix]

White shorts are so unnecessary with the Fitzroy jumper. They really need to have blue or red shorts.

 

[BobbyMorri]

White shorts.

GET RID OF THEM!!!!!

Brisbane has no white on its top. Adding another colour is beyond stupid when Geelong wear a majority of white.

Its fine, but could be so much easier if Brisbane shorts were any other colour.

Sydney & Brisbane. Let the fun and games begin. If I was in charge, I'd have Sydney in South Melbourne jumper with white shorts, Brisbane in full maroon. Doubt i'll see it though.

Thats all on Brisbane, dumb club.

I think it will be home tops and shorts for both teams.

Not ideal. but it is not a complete failure.



Please Please please....do not put Brisbane in White shorts in any circumstance. That has happened in the past......

If I was in charge, I would have Swans Home/White shorts v Brisbane home. If Sydney were the lower-ranked team, I would put them in the red V, but they are not.

If Sydney had to be in full home kit, then maybe the yellow one for Brisbane..

Yeah it's not as bad as I recalled with both in home. The Brissy maroon does come up quite dark from a distance. A 6.5 on the contrastometer.

Good game!

The white Sydney gear would be ideal.

The best option is this:

Definitely up there with the worst clashes - Melb should be in red shorts which might have helped.

Imagine if Sydney did wear the V on Saturday. It'll be both in home kits.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Sydney home, Brisbane Yellow surely? Red and Maroon (aka deep red) clash.

 

[phantom13]

I think the issue is that none of Brisbanes kits does a great job of contrasting with Sydney’s home and the afl policy will be Sydney at home wears its home kit (which s fine and I agree with).

Similar to the Gws game, Brisbanes kit choices aren’t all that varied.

Both full home (noting Syndey will wear their home) is probably best

With Sydney in white shorts and Brisbane in maroon.

By far the best option.

I’m not fussed about Sydney being assured their home kit. It’s a GF and there’s no home team. Sydney wear this jumper every time they play in Melbourne so it’s hardly an issue for them to wear it this week to produce the best contrast.

Unfortunately it won’t happen, both will be in home kit.

People are over-thinking this, obviously ideal if Sydney are happy to wear their South Melbourne kit but 99% chance they don't. Don't really want another 2019 GF situation where a team is forced out of their preferred jumper when there is no clash.

But even if they don't there really isn't as big of a contrast issue from back, side or front with both teams in full home kits. Mind you these images are from night matches where the maroon looks much darker than on a bright sunny GF Saturday (as seen last year where it looked more cerise).

I think just in general, jumpers clash more in day games than at night.

Of course, probably something to do with human hunter-gatherer night vision adaption.




A much brighter GF Saturday makes the red of Sydney completely pop out against the blues/maroons that do get somewhat brighter, but aren't so vibrant than the red. Brisbane in maroon shorts would only make this light/dark contrast better (which is why I fear AFL will do the worst and put them in white shorts removing the contrast.

Not against us wearing the red V mind you , see if we can turn up on grand final day in a different guernsey .
