I like it, I don't love it.
What was wrong with the last one?

 

[Silent Alarm]

That is one seriously shit GWS jumper. It looks like a training strip but the irony is, their training tops are actually vaaaaastly more pioneering than that. This seems like some sort of rare occurrence that'd be looked back on with confusion – like the actual clash jumpers weren't manufactured in time, or, I don't know, they didn't get AFL clearance, and so they had to wear this.

This is genuinely the epitome of bog average. I like the shadow on the G but making that the jumper is as half-hearted as the Gold Coast jumpers.

What a shame.

Got training jumper vibe to it

You can see why they haven't been advertising it.

 

[akkaps]

Their first clash jumper is still the best.

Yep my first thought was "this is a rushed effort".

Would love to see them in orange today.

Yeah an orange 'primary' clash, ala the Crows yellow one, would be a ripper... snipper...

I like the charcoal collar/orange bib combo.

 

[The Cheesecake]

That jumper is so unbelievably meh

The GIANTS (sic) take their name literally too often. They've actually got a cool, distinct logo, but it doesn't need to be plastered everywhere at the biggest size possible.

If Collingwood were the away team tomorrow it occurred to me that to further alleviate the clash they should have a white number panel. From the front when they wear white shorts I tend to think they look ok against Essendon, Richmond and Carlton. It's the back and sides that create problems, particularly the white numbers on a black background. I'd like to know if the white number panel did the trick, clash wise.
I know they are the home side tomorrow so its not their problem as such. I also know the white base is the obvious solution

That's our schtick.

That's our schtick.

Exactly why Collingwood should knick it.

2009 was not the best result with the match but the clash jumper looked so good on Anzac day

 

[Dylan8]

Pies could easily couple the white top with black shorts for the "traditional" look and to retain home team status shorts wise.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Western Sydney really need to figure out if their home jumper is light or dark, and if they can't decide then clearly the jumper needs more balance.

The Carlton polo is terrible.
All that space and 2 of the logos are covered by the flap of the collar.

Poor, poor, poor.

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

Just EFA as there's no AFL team called Western Suburbs.

Typo. There's a Sydney AFL side

Probably should have orange shorts on the home, though the charcoal DOES look nice, you've still got the same problem you're trying alleviate.

Also on the short stripes.

This looks great.

Of all the mock ups that have come and gone, far out... why did they settle for what they did?

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Carlton Clash jumper would look better with out the navy side and shoulder panels.

So just White with Navy Monogram, collar and cuffs and a navy pin-stripe broken by a monogram on the shorts. Oh and White socks with Navy trim FFS!

They're going for branding with the 'G', stupid marketing people, although to be fair when they handed naming the team over to the players they went with Greater Western Sydney instead of just Western Sydney, stupid millennials.

What? The players chose the name?

Millennials? This guy writing for the Guardian?
