News New Jumpers for 2015

[mcgarnacle]

White is completely fine against the tripanel, I don't see how anyone could have any issues with it.

Yes, but it has to be predominantly white and not a singlet that looks as though it's still navy blue with an oversized white bib and a cfc monogram embroided on it. That's what Carlton's alternate looks like. Even their shorts have a considerable amount of navy on the side panel. And then, there are them socks.

Plain white singlet with a navy blue monogram, plain white shorts, and white socks with navy trim would make a classy alternate kit for Carlton IMO. No navy side panels even on the singlet. Just plain white.

Don't understand why they felt 'emasculated' wearing predominantly white a few years ago. And I don't understand why clubs can't go plain white with minimal trim when they do this with darker colours.

Nothing wrong with sky blue either. Sky blue like Napoli or Lazio or Man City, not the baby blue they had that looked like it had been through the wash with a blue stabilo boss highlighter.

Here's a revelation guys.......it's not what you're wearing that makes you shit! It's the people!

Some of the most storied sports clubs in the world wear predominantly white kits - Real Madrid, Juventus, Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, etc

AFL clubs feel the need to have to fill white alternate's with cartoon mascots, squiggly lines or V's looking like someone's wiped their arse after a night on the turps and dodgy kebab.

Well done, Geelong, Freo, Port and Sydney..........not afraid to wear classic white kits and showing how it's done.

I was about to add North, then remembered they wore blue shorts yesterday.

(I suspect this is because Brisbane don't have matching red shorts for their Melbourne away?)

The scoreline, I'm guessing.

I'd love to see a team buck the trend and do a fluro orange jumper or something.

I just mean everyone goes white for a clash, and other codes are happy to have a coloured jumper that's right away from their home colours and I'd like to see an AFL club do something way Different.

I would too, but white works the best as a clash jumper, because it takes out clashes with 15 of the other 17 teams. Plus, teams like Essendon cannot go for a red clash due to their constitution and the AFL thinking it's a dark colour (grey is not a suitable clash colour).

I think Tigerland55 was placing more emphasis on fluro than orange in particular.

AFL clubs are very white-centric when it comes to clash jumpers. A little more colour wouldn't hurt, when sensible and necessary. Essendon would be a great example of a team that should use a non-club-colour-based clash.

I know, I just had a little chuckle that he went straight to fluoro-orange. I agree, a bit of cyan and magenta never hurt anyone

 

[Mr Eagle]

Too late. The league is already fixating on fluoro for runners, doctors, umpires etc.

Surely there is a colour we can use?

For example, Essendon in a very light, almost fluro purple with a red sash and black outline v Richmond would solve all issues.

Pretty much what you''re talking about, although it was to make a dollar rather than avoid a clash.

Yeah, but say flip it so it's mostly orange with a white kangaroo.

What about a fluro green?

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

What about a fluro green?

If happily see Richmond in it if it didn't clash the umpires.
but I'm in the minority who don't get phased by a odd clash colour with my soccer background.
Even fluro yellow with a black sash would have been OK.

You know I was referring to Mero's fluro green Essendon jumper he designed.

[Groupie_]

Looks like one of those fat whale Richmond supporters from Cranbourne road workers who wear their footy socks to work to hold a stop sign all day

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I'd happily see Richmond wear that, it's only 22-3 gages a year.
I'd even buy one.

 

[Cody_]

nothing wrong with our current clash, no way i'd watch my team wear that.

 

[Spanna_]

Bingle inspired jumper anyone?

 

[akkaps]

Let's not give the Richmond and the AFL anymore ideas for next season. Their current jumper is what we have wanted for Richmond for sometime and now that we have have it, we don't want to see it go.

Carlton had the perfect white clash jumper before, but now it's shit. We want to keep the good designs.
