Jumper clash fails

[Heardy_101]

As they should for all home games aside from a few select sides.

For example, why does Geelong wear white shorts against St Kilda when it’s Geelong’s home game?

Because they wear a white based jumper. The rule is (which North are exempt from for some reason) is that Geelong wear white shorts in those games and St Kilda, Collingwood etc wear their home kits.

Exceptions being Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney.

It means that teams with dark or black jumpers aren't wearing white shorts vs a team with a white jumper and dark shorts.

That Geelong vs Collingwood QF was also in the same year (2018? 2019?) that Geelong randomly started wearing blue shorts in all home games.

That was in 2019

 

[Simon Phoenix]

Yeah this isn't great. Brisbane should've worn their yellow jumper.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Why can't Sydney wear a predominantly white outfit? I get there higher places but it's still their bloody colours

 

[radiojake]

At a pub watching on big screen in the distance and it is terrible

Sydney should be in white

Or it should be a night game

 

[kickazz]

Agree, circumstances have me watching on a SD tv, and from the back it's basically red and a different kind of red.

Sydney white back would be perfect.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Sydney earned the right to be in their home jumper. Lions should've been in their yellow kit.

Also, this is a clash foreseen earlier in the week and several people in this thread said otherwise. Still feel you're right that there isn't a clash?

 

[dmc333]

Yeah, this wasn't the best move. Brisbane should have been in yellow.

 

[Heardy_101]

It's ok in the shade, but in the sun it's not great - I'm wondering if it's causing half these turnovers.

Brisbane would've been better in white shorts, either in clash or home jumper.

 

[peetoo]

Is Parker cooked?

 

[eddiesmith]

Yeah red and maroon definitely don’t clash!!!

But it’s interesting if Sydney is the ‘home’ team for jumpers, yet are in the away rooms?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Doesn't see that long ago to me when Brisbane was the only team that Sydney would wear white shorts against in away games, presumably because maroon v red was too close (must have been pre-Gold Coast).

Long-term: I'd suggest that Sydney (like GWS) needs to pick whether they want their home guernsey to be primarily white or red and then make their away/clash the inverse of that. I also think that while the red Brisbane Melbourne guernsey is nostalgic, it's essentially useless as a clash. And further, they actually only wore red guernseys with the gold monogram for a bit more than 20 years. Brisbane should go with the current gold or a white clash and then a blue third option.

Short term: Brisbane in the gold clash with white shorts would have seemed to be the obvious combination for this match-up, as the lower ranked team.

Home team has first choice I believe, but Sydney usually use those rooms at the MCG when Collingwood aren't playing.

This is bad. Way too similar colours.

Put the Swans in white shorts and it would be better. Cats wear white shorts in home finals so other teams can too.

And Brisbane in blue shorts.

Too many people in lead up to games look at fromt of jumpers. Its the back that they ahould look at. Watching a game your see majority backs (and sides) of jumpers as they run across the ground.
Syd in white shorts would have been minimal change needed to assist today

When are people gonna realise this is f*cked because Sydney's guernsey is f*cked. Let's just get rid of f*cked jumpers. Please nobody tell me it's their right to wear a f*cked jumper. South Melbourne's jumper had a white back with red numbers for how long? It was a great f*cken jumper. Then they tried to reinvent the bloody wheel. Half/half front/back jumpers are f*cked and should be disallowed by the league. Who agrees?

And yes, I am drinking heavily

Ch 7 SD rubbish doesn't help

If I was Coach I would've dropped you for the next game for that rant alone.

But that’s because the Cats jumper is mostly white, Sydney’s is predominantly red.

If they had the white back like posted earlier that they used to have, it’d be a lot better

I'd be happy to sit out half the season to get some quality guernseys going

My view is the Brisbane home guernsey should merge the current home and away, using a sort of red-maroon, and blue shorts, combining the traditions. For the clash, I'd be happy to have one Bears-esque one (being the current yellow clash) and one Fitzroy-esque one modelled off this pre-season guernsey from 1996:

Sounds like you’re f*cked.

I mean the Sydney home guernsey is only there with the Opera House silhouette. Won't be changed

But would love a Red V on White as their home, and a White V on Red as their away. But that's more South Melbourne then Sydney.
