Royal shorts confirmed once again

 

[lionbear]

I really wish Collingwood had white with black shorts today.

 

[Billy ray]

Or carlton in white or m&m blue

 

[Strauchanside]

Or Collingwood in white shorts in its traditional kit, with Carlton in all navy blue. No confusion and great contrast then, instead of two teams with dark backs and white numbers.

If Collingwood want that traditional / heritage feel to its games against Carlton and Essendon, this is what should actually be happenng

And I would like to see how these matchups would look before making a judgement on whether Collingwood should wear white shorts in these games.

Blues in white shorts. Joke!

Surely you're not surprised.

The matchups were fine, regardless of who was in white shorts.

If Carlton can't talk Collingwood into doing them a favour and wearing their white jumper for these games the AFL should say sure you can wear whatever you want as an away team Carlton but it's a 200K fine each time.

Royal shorts confirmed once again

How is it that Geelong are forced into white shorts at home, but Collingwood are not? Is it purely because of squealing from the likes of Eddie?

The double standard is highlighted all the more with the two respective games being played concurrently.

I believe it's Collingwood that request that Carlton wear the Navy jumper.

I believe it's Collingwood that request that Carlton wear the Navy jumper.

And the AFL just says Yes ?

 

[Ice-Wolf]

And the AFL just says Yes ?

I believe it's more along the lines of: "Yes Sir Mr McGuire, Is there anything else we can get you?"

The AFL seem to have given up on most of the clash issues altogether this year, it's bloody odd. Sure it works in some cases but in others its worse than ever.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Dons wearing white shorts. Would've thought black would make more sense.

Edit: Nope, black shorts. I'm blind.

Surely that must be a mistake.

The annoying thing is as well, even if Collingwood switched back to their white jumper, what's the bet they'd be in black shorts still while North and Geelong were still made to wear white shorts at home.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Actually it was my mistake. Saw this picture and mistook the strapping for the shorts.

 

[Heardy_101]

Was gonna say, if the Bombers of all teams are wearing white shorts vs Sydney then something is wrong indeed.

Having said that if that matchup ever does require white shorts then Sydney needs to wear them.

 

[CollarJazzKnee]

Surely you're not surprised.

No. But was hoping common sense prevailed.

Loving the hooped socks on the dees

 

[HTT]

Yeah not really a fan of the yellow Adelaide jumper anymore. Red would be good though I reckon.

 

[lionbear]

I thought clash socks had been phased out, I like blue on the Melbourne socks though.

 

[Speck]

The gold is actually sensational for Adelaide. Not faded.

It's hideous m8

 

[ManWithNoName]

It's horrible. Turned it on and had no idea who the Dogs were playing for a couple of seconds. It looks awful.

 

[Gibbsy]

As opposed to turning on the tele and seeing another team in white?

I reckon it's only because no one is used to it. Great jumper.
