So I put this to you now Mero, do you think the AFL is actually making everyone (including now Essendon) have a clash jumper? Or is Essendon following everybody else in only doing it to make money?
I personally still believe that the AFL are not making clubs do this, based on how they haven't been used some of the time, and that Essendon club management have a preference for doing so, based on their expectation of increased revenue from it.
However, if everyone has one, I guess it makes it hard to prove that.

Gee sounds like Carro just wants to bash the AFL and clash jumpers in general.
She's right in some parts though. Carlton and Hawthorn never will clash.
Love that she says "the AFL is diluting their tradition". Makes it sound like the AFL is making them change their song, their logo, their name and not ever again letting them wear their black guernsey.
Doom-sayer.
 
Remember this I made?

Something like this would have worked better as a clash for them.. The grey in the one they've unveiled is too dark.. They should have gone for a lighter colour such as this silvery-grey.
 
Let's wait and see over the next two weeks what it looks like under lights (at Eithad vs St Kilda) and during the day (at AAMI vs Port), as opposed to in some dark convention room at Windy Hill. I reckon it'll be a lot better under those conditions than it appeared in the photos and video so far.
 
I gave in and bought the Essendon cla$h. The numbers will be white, according to the Bombershop.

Anyone else order one or have seen it in person? I'd post a picture of mine when I get it, but that's a good two weeks away.

Robbo and Gerrard had no problems with it, and one of them is a real life, genuine Essendon supporter.

We can just add this to list of reasons Caro can G&GF.

I can't believe how much people hate it. I think it looks sweet. Don't think it will clash at all with St. Kilda.

It's actually modern yet still classy.
 
I remember seeing a white version of it when I got here in 08. Lots of people (including me) used the idea and changed it to grey so it's been suggested for at least 4 years.

Yeah definitely. I remember the silver one you did with the bomber at the end of the sash. Still one of the best jumpers I've seen on this board btw.
 
Wearing it with white shorts will make it look lighter which would be better, similar to how the red on Melbourne's clash looks lighter and therefore more pink, when in reality, it is actually the same red that is used in the home
