Looks pretty good...

Thoughts???

I don't like, if the grey were a little lighter, it would be better.

 

[StevieJ83]

How come Essendon can get away with using grey, when West Coast and Adelaide where told they couldn't use yellow as a clash jumper?

Other than that, its not a bad looking clash jumper.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Are they kidding? I just opened the herald sun & pissed myself

Shittest thing i have ever seen. Could this be the new Ochre

 

[El_Scorcho]

I like it

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

But ur avatar is amazing thunder!! I like that its good

 

[StevieJ83]

Fans on here have been calling for a grey clash for ages.

I think if Essendon dished up a white jumper with a red sash would be worse.

The grey is too dark.

Apparently, using yellow won't solve all clashes and neither club is prepared to have three different kits.

Not nearly as good.

West Coast does have three different kits.

 

[TheDoctor11]

Oh yeah, brain fade moment. Maybe I just refuse to acknowledge their clash as even existing?

 

[Feraligatr]

I'm not sold on essendons clash strip. Maybe it will look better in real life.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

It will for sure look better in a game. All we have seen is close up pics. From a distance it will look black

 

[El_Scorcho]

I think it will look black enough from a distance while still contrasting with st Kilda's black

 

[Greater Gattsby]

This is because Essendon have classified it as a "Heritage" Jumper.

 

[Discrim]

One thing I figure, this strikes me as one of those jumpers that will either grow on a lot of folks or be consigned to the dumb idea bin alongside Brisbane's bedwetter clash, the Collingwood barcodes and Eagles' ochre.

 

[Marlowe]

I had my doubts about the silver/grey, but everything about this jumper is close to perfect. Everything except calling it a "heritage" jumper.

 

[Patterz123]

The guernsey itself looks great! Adidas did a great job. Love the amount of detail.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

Apparently they are changing the legends every 2 years

 

[LadyPants]

I don't think the grey is too dark, the names just make it look dark.

That was under the old rules, I guess. From most accounts the AFL have changed their clash stance this season.

And that's why Mrs Mero knows where she stands, if Brendan Donohue slips up, and Caro is available it's:

In: Caro Mero
Out: Mrs Mero
