Since when has Richmond's clash had a black sash and white on the back? It looks awful, I can barely read the numbers...

 

[Mr Eagle]

Who told Richmond that white numbers could work on their gold jumper???

I like the full sash, but these numbers are a shocker.

 

[Andonis1997]

I was wondering what looked different... in a bad way.

Yeah that sash/white number combo is yucky.

 

[Gibbsy]

Yeah, it looks fine up close, but pretty ordinary from a distance. Another example of a designer not considering aesthetics outside of a computer screen.

Black numbers + thick white outline if anything. Poor in situ tonight hey

Just got home from work turn on the tv and go “how come I can't read any number on a Richmond jumper” then realize this is a new version with a back sash so they used white numbers…absolute shocker.

I don't get why AFL numbers have such thin outlines. The whole point is to help the numbers be legible, make them at least twice as thick. Although, if I was attempting the design, I would cut the sash above and below the numbers to leave that space yellow.

Its was a thing in the 2000s, if it works why not use it.
Or Richmond admit the back sash is too much

Problem would be that you'd have to cut the sash to accommodate the widest pair of digits. So that might look good for 33 but there would be lots of space around 1 or 7.

2014 Mustard pot clash would almost be preferable to this

Quickly mocked this up, you would have thought something like this would've been the first idea if wanting to bring the sash onto the back

It actually wouldn't have been that much of an issue if the yellow was that colour. Problem is is that it's much lighter and brighter, which really doesn't help the contrast

Richmond have only had a black sash on there clash jumper starting from this year

 

[seaforthswan]

I usually hate number panels but this works well.

I usually hate number panels but this works well.

Especially when the alternative and what would've been done in the 2000s in this case was a white square with black numbers

Love to see the cats in their clash

 

[ToxicTiger11]

The bulldogs-lions matchup a bit ugly? Could just be me but both kit’s predominantly the same red white and blues. Yellow cuffs helped differentiate the lions in previous years. Or just wear maroon?

 

[parano1a]

Looking forward to Carlton in clash...

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

gws v haw will be messy today

 

[Supercheapgiants]

gws v haw will be messy today

I'm scared for the Clash kit for GWS v Full home for Hawthorn... praying for NS vs Hawks in white shorts

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

gws in clash

 

[alexfenton]

Hawks should be in their brown “legends” kit (with brown shorts) today. Very effective as an alternative home kit in matchups like today’s and also isn’t just some forgettable clash guernsey in that it actually honours a traditional/heritage look from their history.

 

[justlookingaround]

Hmm, bit of a clash between Hawks and Giants today

 

[seaforthswan]

Only messy options yeah. Would Charcoal and white shorts be any better?
Cant have yellow on orange surely
