It's a complete joke, Carlton in light blue would avoid any possible clash.

Oh, come on. Both teams get to wear their home jumpers (traditional home jumpers) and there's definitely not going to be a clash. It's a win-win.

To say there's definitely going to be no clash is a bit rich. I expect there to be. But there shouldn't have to be, Carlton should just wear their clash, simple.

Nothing against either team, but I'm hoping for a complete debacle. It appears that it will take the outcome of a game to be affected for the AFL to finally grow a pair and stop letting the traditional Victorian clubs dictate to them.

What do we think the AFL's reaction would be, if the game was to be played at the MCG and West Coast told them they planned to wear their navy jumper with white shorts? Is there a snowball's chance in hell the AFL would have accepted that?

This, to be honest.

West Coast would almost definitely be in their white guernsey if it was an away game, so I hope both clubs wear navy, and a Carlton player kicks straight to a WCE player to cost them the game in the dying seconds.

Then we'll never have to worry about this sort of crap again.

In the last few years, the AFL has never permitted navy-v-navy in this game. Carlton wore their white clash strip last time they were at Subi v us.

Agree 100%. Why do we even bother with having clash jumpers if clubs are going to whinge in finals (and the AFL are going to fold to them).

It's ****ing ridiculous.

West Coast in this with royal shorts:

They've done it before so why not this week?

Carlton in this with white shorts:

Two absolute quality jumpers and everyone (clubs, fans, AFL) is happy! Gosh there's some absolute monkeys at AFL HQ

It's been a while since West Coast have worn the royal wings with royal shorts though, hasn't it? That sort of kit combination doesn't seem to be in WCE's plans anymore which is odd.

That's because we rarely wear it at home. Away = white shorts. We do wear royal shorts when playing Sydney. We played Sydney at home this year, but last year;

Re: New Jumpers for 2011 (3)

Yeah I'm aware it rarely happens anymore but is the most logical option this week really. WC don't really suffer at all from it, in fact many fans (from what I hear) prefer this over the current home anyway. We wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place if WC just changed their home jumper back to the wings in the anyway

I think it's more the principle. I'm fairly sure that most West Coast fans would be happy with Carlton home/WC wings jumpers if Carlton requested that from WC and WC agreed.

The problem is that West Coast should be able to wear whatever jumper they want and Carlton have to avoid a clash, not just whinge to the AFL and make a mockery of the so called 'clash' rules.

The AFL is so ****ing corrupt.

Re: New Jumpers for 2011 (3)

Yeah true. In regard to jumpers, the AFL really has no idea imo.

 

[The Half Back]

I know many people will disagree with me here but what if the AFL had a rule like in the NBA where ALL away jumpers were white and home jumper a predominantly dark colour ??

 

[E92_]

Isn't it the other way round in the NBA, light home dark away?

 

[The Half Back]

yeah but no one wants to wear white home jumpers

 

[jethro11]

I'd love collingwood to go back to their white home jumper.

And you'd never get every club to agree to wear a predominantly dark home jumper.

we basically do have that rule at the moment, just with the option that a home team can have a light kit (Kangaroos, Cats)...
Firstly, it needs to be enforced
Secondly, royal blue v navy blue, even if royal is "light" and navy is "dark", are IMO too close on the colour scale to allow. Similarly the Lions and Suns (maroon and red) are. And yes I know that the Lions wore maroon against Sydney in red not long ago.

West Coast has earned the right to be the home team - they should get the pick of guernseys and Carlton ensure no clash arises. I thus don't see the problem with Eagles in their Navy kit v Carlton in their sky blue kit, or Eagles in their Royal kit either.

I don't think there is a clash at all (If West Coast wear their Royal Blue jumper)
I thought when West Coast played Carlton at Etihad earlier in the year that the teams were quite easily distinguished.

Also seen in this picture where West Coast are the home team wearing the royal blue.

it really is just the yellow that stops them clashing IMO. if you take that away it would be a huge clash

Correct yes.
Thankfully West Coast aren't taking the yellow away before Saturday night

 

[thequarry]

Found this, from a West Coast home game in 2000; I guess the ochre was the "lesser of two evils" when it came to preventing a clash then.

 

[PAFC_04]

Seriously don't know how people like that jumper

 

[E92_]

Don't know how people hate it.

No comment

Seriously though, I do know where you eagles fans are coming from though. Port have certainly had some shockers over the years but the only guernsey I can honestly say I hate of ours has been this one

The wetsuit wasn't great either but I do have a self-confessed love for this bad boy:

I like to call it the 'Port fans Ochre'
