No Purple Haze in Grand Final

[Franc de Borges]

Fremantle to wear their all white away strip. Bizarre and disappointing decision by the AFL.

 

[Badesumofu]

Seriously? Any reason given? That is utterly bizarre!

 

[LeverPuller]

wat

 

[Franc de Borges]

Just saw it on Twitter from the official AFL account. Makes no sense whatsoever.

[Gizmo]

What a joke. They don't even clash.

 

[Cleavy]

dumb!

 

[blktreacle]

what?? really??

 

[LeverPuller]

In all seriousness, Freo should take over both and the players should change into the purple haze if they do get up. Sure, it's presumptive, but if they get up they'd want to be immortalised in the purple surely.

Seriously WTF. How is it even a clash in the first place? Is this a massive f*ck you from the AFL to freo/the WAFC

 

[Franc de Borges]

I'd have thought that white and yellow were closer than purple and yellow, but hey, that's just people with a brain.

 

[lewigie]

Lol

 

[electricfeel]

Lol how surprising from Vlad and co

Team should wear purple anyway. How the **** does purple clash with gold and brown!?!? HOW!?

 

[silverscope]

Pathetic decision.

If they AFL can let this happen

Then why the **** can't both home teams have their home strips. THEY DON'T CLASH!!

C'mon, this will be telecast internationally and you can't really expect international viewers think how tough is our game if a side is wearing purple

 

[BG32]

I now know the side the umps will be on

 

[raven echo]

Lol another bizarre decision from the AFL

 

[Badesumofu]

Unreal. There isn't any kind of clash. Freo playing for their first ever flag, and they won't be able to even wear their primary jumper. Purple is such a part of their identity. Shit decision AFL.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

WTF??

The AFL never cease to amaze in striving for stupidity.

Freo fans have every right to be upset, absolute bullshit.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Excellent decision. I was worried about not being able to tell the difference, but having mainly white instead of mainly purple will enable me to distinguish the Dockers from the brown and gold of Hawthorn.

 

[basashi]

Why would this surprise anyone?

 

[dymot]

There have been talks the game is to be moved to aurora stadium as well.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Both teams will now be in light jumpers with dark numbers and striped socks. Good work AFL.

 

[Crawb]

Seriously how do we campaign to change this? It is just not right at all....
