Uhh, yeah, sure.

Didn't you see the 4 page shitfight between myself, a crows poster and a Swans supporter about this lol

The Marley Williams promo pic for this article has him in the blue jumper

Got to get used to him in the blue and white stripes.

PS. Awesome avatar you have!

North reckons they are.

Never mind the the four flaga they won in their now away jumper,pretty sure at least one of them was in white shorts!!

1975 and 1999 flags in white shorts ;-)

Thanks, having another disco session recently

Here we go, official announcement and explanation, can we stop potting the club now?

[Cyclonus]

No. Because it's dumb.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Now for the AFL to force hawthorn into white shorts as the lighter side.

Maybe when they drop out of the league, or change back to their now away jumper.

 

[Barrybran]

In fairness, it is a silly reason. A quick look at a fixture card, Record or scoreboard will tell fans who is the home side.

No, because it's ********* pathetic.

The decision to adopt the darker strip was partly because the Roos were frequently forced to wear white shorts with their predominantly white jumper at home games, giving the impression they were the ‘away’ side.

Do they think their fans are that stupid?
(Non-North fans, please don't answer that.....Lol)

They also just outlined as to why they were told to wear white shorts: they wear a predominantly white guernsey. They knew that.

Also, their views that white shorts = away team is outdated and backwards. Obviously North want this old fashioned shit rule to be brought back. Newsflash North, this is 2016, not 1966!

Or merge with Gold Coast when both keep finishing bottom four

 

[Matele]

That's the official reasoning? Pathetic. Absolutely no one sees them as the away team in that get up.

I'm fine with them changing, but at least make the reasoning a bit better than that. Even "increasing the contrast when at home" is a more viable reason than that. How sad. Is what it is though.

You're a real prick, you know. How bout you leave this to jumper discussion.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Will we see the blue jumper with white shorts at all in 2017?

 

[NM_Mitchell]

You'd hope not, that would just be an absolute shit-show.

Gee mate, no need to get personal

We can stop potting the club for doing it by stealth, but not for their reasoning. They're no more immune to criticism than West Coast were with the tri-panel or Brisbane with the Paddle-Pop.

They say its "partly" because they're directed to wear white shorts in home games, then give no further reasoning. So reading between the lines its the only reason.

Credit to them for actually acknowledging it though, as stupid as it seems to the vast majority of us.

I understand that it's a shitty decision, but there's no need for the whole board to keep going into meltdown over it, the decision has been made, and we're going to have to live with it for at least a few years. Time to move on.

 

[AnsettAustralia]

nope, this is still ****. who actually thinks white shorts make the team the "away team?

Enough of the trolling, and that goes to everyone. Cards have and will be handed out.

Probably because the AFL is completely ****ed over this issue, they were almost there with Dimetriou but since Gill has taken the reigns it's been a complete cluster****. And of course you have Hawthorn taking the piss (or is it the poo) with the brown jumper white shorts away kit.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Gil and half the clubs apparently because they insist on doing it even when it's not a club colour.

 

[Mr Eagle]

It's still the rubber shorts that worry me most.
