Pretty strenuous link at best crom the Blues, here. Does this mean Essendon get to wear navy blue, the Bulldogs can have blue and white hoops, Geelong can wear red, Hawthorn can wear navy and red, North and Sydney can wear a red sash or Port can wear pink?The orange is a historical colour, but also is now used on the "Carlton Respects" jumper for a specific round, this is not new
2022 AFL Carlton Respects Game: Why are the Blues wearing orange?
Adding a little orange piping for a charity game is fine, but I see orange creeping up a lot in the Carlton rhetoric officially and also unofficially on the forums here. I personally think it looks pretty horid, but it is also creeping into GWS territory. I see it as the equivalent of another Melbourne club suddenly adopting purple in their new jerseys and encrouching on Freo, or another club having maroon and encourching on the Lions. I think it's not a bigger deal because it's GWS and they're an expansion club without much of a fanbase.
