The only questionable match-up will be North vs Carlton. I reckon the Dees will look messy in their home/white away to West Coast, but it's a similar situation to when they play the Bulldogs and they don't have a suitable kit for either match-up. Everything else status quo...?

Does Hawthorn use their home or away jumper?

Cats in blue shorts?

Debut of the Pies new white clash tonight?

Surely Carlton are in white tomorrow...

Against Geelong? Should be home with brown shorts. There was no clash in the 1989 Grand Final IIRC

If Carlton are in navy it will be nearly impossible, both teams in a dark blue with white logos in the middle

There is precedent. In both 2018 and 2020 the matchup was this:

Pies in white confirmed

Monday will tell us whether or not the white shorts away rule is back in general or just for North games.

What's with the lions tiny numbers on their backs, looks shithouse.

 

[BigChippa52]

pies new clash just an inverse of the home ditched the pinstripes

 

[Michael Scarn]

Are the numbers on the Brisbane jumper tonight really small?

 

[Fizzler]

Far out Collingwood’s clash jumper is niiiiiiice. Extremely effective and I reckon they’ve perfected the design other than the varying gap on the sides between players. If there’s only going to be one of the Big 4 Vic sides that’ll wear their clash jumper against one another, I’m glad it’s the team with a really effective and good looking jumper.

Youi logo seems far too tall, seems odd that they would make the numbers smaller to accommodate a logo box. Looked terrible.

The Lion looked more gold than usual to me, probably very wrong tho

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Carton in home lol

 

[seaforthswan]

Blues in white shorts.
All Blue North is class from the back, just needs a chevron on the front

 

[The Victorian]

Would I be right in saying that Carlton this year has become the first team in Good Friday Appeal Superclash history to not wear the game logo on their kits?

Which just means it would have been even easier to swap to the clash kit after they saw North's extra blue top.

 

[Heardy_101]

There's literally no reason for Calrton to be in white shorts today based on previous matches between the two.

 

[Boyohboywowwee]

Ch7 must send jb and or bt to games they think will be good or between 2 quality teams. You would have thought either or would be on today considering it’s a Friday. Bt did last sundays game when he usually doesn’t.
They both did last nights game when they don’t usually do Thursdays

 

[lionbear]

I will ask again, why is the AFL obsessed with Geelong wearing white shorts against 14 of the 17 teams they play, and then allow this match up today?

 

[Timewaster]

Imagine putting on a blue guernsey with a white logo against Carlton. Terrible branding, Roos should always be blue and white stripes.

Surprisingly though its not such a bad clash. Maybe lessons for Eagles dogs etc?

It was a charity design for kids, who cares what it looks like
