Discussion Worst ever jumper clashes

[hitthepost]

I do not think its great distinction ... and the front of the jumper is only half the clash .... from the back both clubs now have white nos and black backgrounds where as the traditional magpies jumper was the reverse .... made it much easier to watch when the players were on the other side of the ground

technically you are right ... the home team should wear the jumper of choice and the away team has to avoid the clash ... however in the case of carlton v collingwood or collingwood v st kilda there was never a clash until the magpies changed their jumper ...when the vic clubs play each other I like to see them all wearing their traditional jumpers

I still don't think you read it right.
I made a pretty clear distinction between looking at them side-by-side, and looking at them in a match scenario.
Collingwood black guernsey does not LOOK LIKE St Kilda, but it does SHARE A LOT OF COMMON COLOUR which causes a clash, thus both teams have clash tops.
Nobody went into Rebel Sport and accidentally bought a St Kilda guernsey because they got it confused with a Collingwood one.

Was trawling AFL Photos and found this bad boy from the 2007 NAB Cup. I know Freo were wearing their white jumper in the pre-season for a period of time through the mid-2000s, but surely they could have made a concession during this match at the Dome.

I remember seeing a photo from the 2006 (I think) NAB cup of Freo wearing the white jumper against Geelong.

Bring back White jumper with black shorts!

Can't believe the afl lets that happen

Still letting it happen.

I reckon I saw the worst jumper clash ever on the weekend,though it was only in junior football. I'll try and recreate the jumpers to show just how bad it was.

It was pretty much this, with navy blue replacing the black,against this.

This is still my favourite of the modern era, when West Coast packed the wrong guernseys:

The hectic recess downball uniforms?
If you can't eat a sando and make it to king at the same time, you're not worth my time.

That's north vs collingwood around 1960.

North (blue shorts, blue and white socks):

Collingwood (white shorts, black and white socks):

It wouldn't have been too bad, only in split second decisions it might have caused problems.

Actually the clash was worse than described. In those days the home team wore black shorts and the away team wore white. So it would have been North Melbourne in a white jumper with blue strips and black numbers and black shorts against Collingwood in a white jumper with black strips and black numbers and white shorts.

This would be the modern day worst clash of jumpers. I was watching this and I didn't know which team had the ball. It was gold jumpers with dark shorts.

Port Melbourne V Footscray in the VFL.

Port Melbourne V Footscray in the VFL.

They played in a final a couple of years ago and I watched it on TV. It was appalling, not even by human error or a lack of funds, just dumb people in charge. Does either team have a clash jumper yet?

Footscary - Yes
Port - No

 

[Gibbsy]

Footscary - Yes
Port - No

Lol at Footscary - an apt typo

 

[FootyJunkie]

Footscary - Yes
Port - No

Dogs could have easily worn WB's white clash jumper.

Sheesh... but I guess back in the day, jumper clashes just weren't such a big deal... was less of a TV game than now though.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

In a home game at Whitten oval?
Nah, Port should just grab a clash kit. Some local clubs have one, surely a VFL team can too.

 

[MontanaToRice]

Well apparently Port Melbourne are wearing an alternate 'clash' jumper for the first time in their history this week against Footscray:

That's nice. I've unstretched it and colour corrected to give a better idea of how it may look

It's ok, but I would like to see it predominantly white with two blue and one red stripe on the front and lower back

You'd probably be one of the few posters in the FJGD board advocating for a team to have a clash jumper in a non-club colour when one in club colours will be fine

I'd probably just remove the baseball style logo and just have the full stripes on the front, the inverted home jumper with appropriate shorts is enough to create significant contrast.
