It's valid because it was the literal reasoning as to why Essendon wouldn't use an inverse or come up with a decent clash design.

Yeah, zero chance they wear it against any of the other big 3 Victorian sides.
They absolutely should be, but they won’t.

The AFL will say when it is worn. Richmond VS Essendon. Essendon was the away side that game and they wore red jumper. It is what the AFL say for what game.

No offence but you're really small and simple minded if you think the AFL have most of the say when it comes to the Big 4 Victorian clubs wearing away/clash jumpers against each other. Collingwood are the only ones who consistently actually wear their clash jumper in these fixtures.

Collingwood do wear a white version as a clash jumper for away games against port adelaide for example.

Richmond literally wore their yellow jumper in a Grand Final
It's incredible to me that a Port supporter of all people doesn't understand that the AFL decides what uniforms clubs wear. Like did you miss all that shit about the prison bars? They don't make Carlton/Richmond/Collingwood/Essendon wear clash jumpers when they play each other (with some exceptions) because they want there to be a degree of prestige and historic rivalry in those games which are automatic blockbusters no matter the standing of the teams, and they see the traditional jumpers as a part of that history that they want to maintain continuity with. If the AFL saw the Port Adelaide Football Club and its onfield identity as an important part of the history of the game that they want to maintain continuity with, they would let Port wear the prison bars. It's an unfair double-standard, and it's reflective of the biases among the top brass of the AFL, which parts of the game's history they think are important, etc. But at the end of the day, if they decided those jumpers didn't matter, they would make Carlton wear white against Richmond and Carlton would have absolutely no recourse.

Collingwood wear it. As you mentioned.
Collingwood and Essendon play each other in ANZAC round which usually has a special guernsey.
Essendon and Richmond play each other for Indigenous Round and have special guernseys.
That leaves Richmond v Carlton and Essendon v Carlton. You have to be Stevie Wonder to think these clash.

It is a clash. How are they not?
Special jumpers... Which are sometimes no different to their home jumper.

To avoid clashing with Geelong and North.
Both teams wore (and still wear) predominantly White jumpers.
Collingwood changed to Black with White stripes to avoid the clash as much as possible, while still retaining enough White to not clash with Essendon, Carlton & Richmond. At the time they changed StKilda's jumper was mostly Red.

I heard the deal they had with Adidas at the time making the jumper White on Black made the front of the jumper a massive adidas three stripes logo?

Big fan of the thin stripes on the new Pies jumpers, much better than fat stripes we've had since the start of Nike years.
Also quite like the wings on the clash giving the sawtooth effect, I like the introduction of small details last year to differentiate kits year on year, while still keeping to tradition.

It would simply be nice to see the Vic clubs break tradition and wear a clash jumper in rivalry game. Not exactly like there's many people left who remember when Essendon or Carlton were successful anyway.

I've never heard this argument for why Carlton uses their home guernsey. Ever.

Any news on Port’s clash for next season? I would love it if we went for a real guernsey. I think we wore something similar in 2016 or 2017. I think it would look sick and it gives us a different look. Would be an epic to see it worn against Collingwood or one of the big teams. Could someone come up with a design on it? Cheers guys.
