God that is beautiful. Has that been confirmed as a clash design?

 

[hitthepost]

Well, I'm just following AFL logic...

This is true!
If Richmond got yellow shorts to go with their yellow tops then the umpires could have a fully-white kit.

Imagine how bright the Tigers would be then!

Which poses a question, would you have a lesser enjoyment if your team won a Grand Final in a jumper other than your main colours?

Eg: Essendon won in the grey heritage or Carlton in the baby blue (or shudder, WC in the ochre)

With our new clash - nope, I'd be all for it. Happy for West Coast to win a Grand Final in any of our 3 jumpers now.

I would have been annoyed if we wore the white "table cloth" in a GF - but would still want the win obviously.
But must admit, I didn't even like the idea of WCE wearing the Home "tri-panel" in a Grand Final either.

Agree with the sentiment
But our current 3 jumpers all involve our main colours ....
But to answer TheLoungeLizard 's question - I would've been annoyed if we had worn the white tablecloth clash
We didn't even make the finals during the brief period the ochre was around so I have never had to contemplate that hypothetical

I like Carlton's baby blue more than their white

It would have been interesting to see what you did if you played the Bulldogs in a Grand Final. Would you have worn the home tripanel or the tablecloth at the time?

The sponsor situation would've probably meant we wore the tablecloth (though I/most other fans would've preferred the tripanel , especially since the GF already involves an additional logo anyway )

If so, it is now my favourite mostly white clash
(Apart from Pies /North obviously )
It would be even better if the top part was orange rather than blue though
Some clubs could benefit from non-club colours in exceptional circumstances , but GWS aren't one of them

Hasn't been confirmed as anything.

Darwin’s Adelaide Crows footballers helping shatter stereotypes in AFLW
MARC McGOWAN, NT News
March 8, 2017 12:39pm

DON’T try telling Lauren O’Shea she can’t do anything a man can.

Darwin-based footballer O’Shea is part of the AFL Women’s revolution that is all about shattering stereotypes and offering females the same opportunities as males.

But that philosophy is nothing new for the 32-year-old, a member of the inaugural Adelaide Crows squad.

O’Shea grew up in country Victorian town Yarrawonga and had a father who treated her no differently than her two brothers.

“My dad’s a slaughterman and I was his key helper as a child — even ahead of my brothers,” O’Shea told the NT News.

“That’s just what I did and how I was brought up.

“I’ve done a lot of fishing and shooting in my life with my family, and I didn’t know anything different as a kid.

“As I did get older, I guess that wasn’t the norm for a lot of people.”

O’Shea is amid a massive week, with the Crows set to play their first match for premiership points in Darwin on Saturday and her NTFL club Waratah in the grand final the same day.

And today is International Women’s Day, an occasion to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of females.

“To me, it just means women being the unique individuals they are and empowering other women to do whatever it might be they want to do,” O’Shea said.
“Women and girls need to believe in themselves and whatever it is they want to do, just go out and chase that.”

O’Shea, a school teacher, was an emergency the past two AFLW rounds as she edges closer to her Adelaide debut.

She hopes to play this weekend for the Crows or the Tahs, who are chasing a sixth straight premiership against the Darwin Buffettes.

“I really want to play for Crows, obviously, but I’m a bit torn between the two ... we’ll find out this week,” O’Shea said.

“I’ve been in contact with (my Waratah teammates) and they’re pretty excited.

“They’ve done a good job and are pretty fit, but Buffs are quite a good team, so it will be interesting on the weekend.”

The AFLW competition’s W logo is purple this week, in honour of the International Women’s Day’s colour of choice to symbolise gender equality.

You can normally get around it by looking up the headline in Google.

Probably belongs in a another thread as its irrelevant to jumpers.

Personally I don't see it as a big deal. The club can always change into their home tops for the presentation (a la Spain in the 2010 WC final) and also gives them an opportunity to start a new tradition like how Milan always wear their all-white kit in a Champions League final.

The logo is turning purple though, which I presume will feature on the jumpers.

Only for one week, it's just a topical thing. They'll persist with the orange, it's everywhere.

A bit off-topic but here's another article that highlights the value of coaches sponsors – and how the Saints are still looking for one (and a shorts sponsor too)

Yeah of course, was just saying that they might end up heat pressing on purple logos for this round or something.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

What's so wrong with that though?

 

[Red Crow]

Yeah of course, was just saying that they might end up heat pressing on purple logos for this round or something.

I'd be pretty surprised, considering they don't even use the normal pinkish-orange colour on the jumpers.

you're right, I thought that they did for some reason. Probably has no relevance in that case.

What would be the worst possible outcome for a grand final and a team having to wear a clash jumper this year?
