As a Richmond supporter you are obviously well aware of the colour issues that BLK have with your home Guernsey, however I have never beard anyone mention this problem with the Bulldogs and live at the game you can clearly soo that there are two tones of blue one on the shirts which is the correct tone and a pastelly looking one on the Guernsey. So really you guys aren't alone in this I just think western Bulldogs supporters haven't noticed
Yes, absolutely the Bulldogs have the issue as well, as do GWS, GC and Brisbane. However, I was talking about Adelaide and did a quick comparison with Richmonds clash, given the similar colours (from last year, anyway, I'm hopeful this years will be better! The signs are there)
Was personally pretty dismal to see live
Adelaide or the Bulldogs? Or both?
What do you mean by it says a lot about the jumper.
No way looks Terible, causes more of a contrast issue against some teams and you should always try and wear your home strip when you can. Saying that though I would love it if we wore last years heritage strip in Melbourne full time, just without the names and watermark logo.
But Eddie's team isn't wearing it's traditional jumper.
What about St Kilda, Melbourne & Geelong then, it's hypocritical bullshit.
They're wearing their traditional black and white stripes, which is what they've always worn. Sure they changed from white base to black base, but it's still black and white stripes. I think that's more Eddie's thing than "black stripes on white background". When he's fought against the Prison Bars he's always said that Collingwood have always played in "black and white stripes". It's a bit like Essendon switching to have the sash go the other way around - it's still a red sash on black, which is what they consider core to their identity.
Like the Docklands based Essendon and Carlton???
Carlton and Essendon both play a couple of MCG home games a year.
St Kilda played a MCG home game this year and they've played them in previous years as well and if it was up to the club they would play at least 2 home games a year at the MCG. St Kilda regularly host Collingwood at the MCG.
Actually it was because the AFL disallowed our previous design due to Eddie's bitching.
As a Bulldog fan I actually think BLKs problems are to our advantage. I've always reckoned that our blue has got darker over the years. Maybe I was looking at faded photographs but the blue is darker now. If I could find the bulldogs team of the century painting, the painter even painted the older guernseys that lighter royal blue. But as for the Tigers, black is meant to be just that.
As in it's due for a change to something where the front and the back really match up.
