Jumper v Carlton

[Nuke Fremantle]

Whether we particularly like our current home jumper or not (I think its certainly an improvement on the last one), we ought to be wearing it at all our home games, be they H & A season or finals.

If our home jumper then happens to clash with the visiting team, they should be compelled to wear a change strip.

Case. F**king. Closed.

Couldn't agree more.

Carlton wore baby blue at training today...

Carlton wore baby blue at training today...

They wore their training jumper at training?

Any more breaking news EFH?!?!?

Word is G. Ablett is headed to the Gold Coast. Keep it quiet though.

 

[QS]

I agree with this.

If Eagles refuse to wear their Royal Blue, then we should be forced to wear the Baby Blue...

But it does seem like everyone can be satisfied if communication occurs

I don't mind if Carlton insist on the navy.. might push us closer to realising our home jumper sucks and go back to royal blue.

How's that delorean going, still get up to 88mph?

Sorry, I just thought that the jumper they wear at training could possibly be indicative of what they wear in a game

 

[deep square leg]

Well, that settles that.

 

[Boohemian]

Totally settled. Cheers

 

[lewigie]

Carlton should've played in baby blue. They haven't lost playing in that or something?

 

[Ochre]

Didn't think the clash was too bad, but home with white shorts is ****ing ugly

 

[dajesmac]

Going to be honest, before the game I was still angry about it, but I thought what we wore tonight looked ****ing good.

 

[BradWCE]

Same, very minimal clash if any and an awful looking combination of jumper and shorts.

 

[GWeagles]

Don't care what strip they're wearing when they win

 

[paran]

Wanted the 25 year jumper, did not like the colour clash.

 

[E92_]

Wasn't that bad of a clash but it was pretty bad when the navy side of our jumper was facing you.

Yep, purely from a clash pint of view it worked - having said that so would've our white jumper....

Didn't want to start a new thread but just by chance I just found a 2007 WA heritage jumper (official AFL issue) per my avatar in a shop here for $50 in my size lol.. Score! Didn't think you could buy them.

Pretty simple solution to these clashes. The AFL must not allow these new clubs to continue to change their jumpers that are now clashing with jumpers of clubs that have been around for over 100 years. Look at the Freo jumper now, almost looks like a Carlton jumper without the monogram.
If the AFL continue to allow these jumper changes then it shouldnt expect other clubs to wear clash jumpers when the original jumpers didnt clash. (hope that made sense).

So would've the royal, and the peril

Although I agree, it's totally irrelevant in this case.

West Coast have been wearing the Navy Blue Tri-panel for 12 years (unforunately). And before that they had a Navy Blue Wings design for a few years. So Navy has been a West Coast colour most of there existance.

And if they drop the tri-panel (hopefully!), chances are they will have a Navy Wings jumper instead (bigger clash with Carlton).

The probably in this case is just the AFL choice of jumpers. Should been either:

WC: Royal; Carlton: Navy/White Shorts
or
WC Navy: Carlton: Baby Blue

Both of the above would have been better options.

 

[Milenko]

If the AFL has any shred of credibility the jumpers this week will be:

Geelong: normal jumper, white shorts

West Coast: royal blue jumper, royal blue shorts

 

[The Magenius]

Was a disgrace, why bother having clash jumpers if they aren't used in finals. Every other sport in the world does not change their rules for finals. Much bigger clubs than collingwood and Carlton do not wear their preferred colors on major occasions because its not the fair thing to do.

Just another example of the AFL screwing over my club, treating them as inferiro to melbourne based clubs and I don't like it one bit.

 

[paran]

Yep, home and away strips should apply.
