I think the tigers should have to where they're 'clash' guernsey against us this weekend seeing that we had to wear our horrendous strip against them in Rd 11 they should have to wear their horrendous strip against us

Adelaide is scheduled to wear its red jumper two more times this season.
Round 20 vs Essendon at TD
Round 21 vs St Kilda at TD
Are you sure about this, I don't see why we can't use our normal away one for these matches.
We've actually worn our home jumper away 3 times this year as well as using our clash guernsey 3 or 4 times I think, leaving us to use the actual away jumper what twice, maybe 3 times so far. Wasn't the point of getting a new one because the old one clashed with everyone else and hence wecouldn't use it? Aparently this one is no different.

Exactly.
I want to know why, if there is apparently a clash with a great many teams, as evidenced by our wearing of the clash strip, very few of these teams seem to wear a clash strip here.

If true, that sucks the big one!
Didn't somebody post on here a while back a quote from John Reid? Said something along the lines of the away jumper was not going to be worn again this season because of difficulty reading the numbers, so away games would be either the home jumper or clash jumper. Alterations would be made next year which would either be an all-yellow back or just yellow numbers.
Or did I dream it all?

Based on these stats, you'd be hoping that it is pissing down in Melbourne for the upcoming games against Essendon and St Kilda at the Dome, and that we are allowed to wear our home guernsey

I can't remember which one we wore against Carlton at the G, fairly sure it was the away one, but yet last weekend they were fine to wear their blue.
That's a good point, we should've just worn our home one that game instead of the away one.

Was our yellow away one which seems to have vanished for some reason, why wear a red top against the Dons who have a red sash in their top? Surely it should be the swooping Crow away one?

Re The Crows-Carlton scenario, the way I saw it was that with Carlton having white numbers and the white monogram on the jumpers, adding white shorts makes it that bit more distinctive. If we wore the home jumper with white shorts (or even blue) against Carlton with blue shorts, it would probably be a bit more of a mish-mash of colours.
But it was still a ridiculous decision.

Just went searching for the thread I was reffering to before with John Reid's comments re the away jumper, and this is what I found:
I'm guessing we would have worn the away jumper in both of these games, but the number issue has forced our hand.
Its quite simple i posted in an early thread, on the Tuesday after the Carlton game when Johnny Reid was taking calls on 5AA a caller rang up and said she couldn't see the player numbers on our away guernsey when she was at the ground and then Reidy said the club had noticed that and has sorted it out with Adidas for the 2009 season and with the 'new' material and style we're getting in '09 for our guernseys the numbers would either be changed to yellow or the back from red to yellow he then went on to say that the Crows would either wear their home guernseys with white shorts or the red clash guernsey. Hope that clears things up

I love the original jumper. I was pumped to see us wear it in recent "away" matches- against port and sydney. The home jumper with white shorts is a throw back to the 90's.
I liked the clash jumper when it was first worn in 96, but the 08 version of it is bad, with the red back and yellow front it looks like a jesters outfit. They really got it wrong.
I dont know why we have to have a clash jumper. To me we only really clash with melbourne, and perhaps brissy.

Possibly, us and Collingwood, the other Adidas team.
Ok so are we going to wear this on the weekend or not! Showers are forecast which in all likelyhood means closed roof (THANK GOD!) so if the roof is closed do we have to wear this damn Cursed strip?

Wouldnt have thought wearing red would be a good idea against the bombers. Our home clashes less.
Its been pointed out, probably over the last couple of pages, that we're not wearing our away jumper any more this season as the navy numbers are too hard to distinguish. So this weekend it will either be our home jumper and white shorts or our clash jumper.
We are still likely to wear it even with the roof closed.

Ah but we have a much better record with the roof closed.
Did last year
BTW why did Richmond wear there Home jumper when we had to wear the red clash jumper against them at the G this year. Same for when Essendon come here..
Csonpiracy......
The boys trained in their home strip today, looks like we could be wearing that one. They usually wear the upcoming game's guernsey during the main session, don't they? Can swear I remember seeing us wearing the red guernsey at mid-week training during the weeks of Richmond and Brisbane away...
Dont get my hopes up
They always train in the home guernsey for the main session of the week, its usually the second session later on in the week that they train in the guernsey they're going to wear on the weekend.
