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.

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 .

We really need a blue version in our kit. I do actually like the yellow bears options but they don't give quit enough contrast when we need it

This is the AFL. You couldn't rule out Sydney in home top with white shorts. Not sure when they last wore that combo but I remember seeing it at the Western Oval in Fitzroy's final years in the 90s. Crowd was pretty sparse that day.

Yep. Syd in white shorts, Bris in maroon would be the max contrast for me. But even if Syd said we'll wear the South kit as long as we can have red shorts, I think it would still be an improvement, regardless of Bris's shorts colour.

Won't happen, but Brisbane's yellow top with maroon shorts would look amazing and probably produce the best visual with Sydney's home kit.
Expecting both full home kits, ran it before.
Dunno if the yellow would work in the sun v sydney.

Yep should be white shorts, but Sydney in the South jumper with the red shorts is still better than Sydney in all home kit.
The white makes a huge difference.
Swans should absolutely bust out the South kit. They play in the grand final every bloody couple of years, doing it once in the South jumper isn’t going to do any damage.

Who would have thought jumpers with significantly differing front/back colours would make contrast more challenging? Imagine if every club had one. Clubs would probably need four alternate strips, maybe five. I'm still not sure any overseas clubs use them. No famous ones anyway.
I don't think Sydney have ever worn white shorts with the home top. If we wear white shorts it'll be with the Red V.
Last time it was Syd vs Bris at the SCG it was both in home kits so that's my pick
Otherwise Red V with red shorts vs Brisbane in full home

No reason Sydney couldn’t go red shorts if they wanted to either.
