Discussion Worst ever jumper clashes

[Spanna_]

What's the worst ever jumper clash you've seen?
From a NEAFL match last weekend-(I know it's predominately white but still)

Already a thread on it.

Was there, was zero clash between the two.

Surprised no one has brought up the preseason match when the Hawks and Eagles both wore their clash jumpers.... Table cloth vs Hawks head. Eagles in navy shorts from memory and Hawks head clash had a brown back!

What year was this?

What year was this?

Was that 1995 with the *shudder* Hawthorn Harlequin guernsey?

Would have been a few years back during the NAB cup. Can't remember the exact year sorry. But it was Eagles home game, they were wearing the table cloth clash jumper (maybe the first version of it) and Hawks were in their first or second clash jumper, had all brown back (but white on the front with Hawks head)

I can't find evidence of this ever happening, and there's only two years where it potentially could have

2010 Rd 7: Eagles (tri-panel, white shorts) vs Hawks (home, brown shorts)
2011 NAB Cup: Eagles (royal wings, royal shorts) vs Hawks (clash, white shorts)
2011 Rd 4: Hawks (home, brown shorts) vs Eagles (royal wings, white shorts)

Maybe earlier than that. Was definitely Eagles clash vs Hawks clash.

I hate to sound stubborn but I'm more interested than anything in seeing pics of it; I just can't understand when it could have been from as there was only two years when the two jumpers overlapped

Yeh, I can't find it either. It was only possible from either 2010 or 2011. Before that the Eagles didn't have a tablecloth.

 

[Heardy_101]

Maybe I'm completely off track then....

 

[ashley12]

Pretty sure that the was tri-series for NAB

Hawks, Eagles and Dockers.

I remember us wearing the tablecloth vs the Dockers, but thought we might have had something else for the game vs the Hawks.

Will have to google.

 

[ashley12]

We were in royal vs the Hawks

Tablecloth vs the Dockers later on



I assume Hawthorn vs Fremantle (which was the middle game IIRC) would have been purple vs the hawks head

 

[Heardy_101]

I do remember those. Not the worst idea but was the beginning of the end of the NAB cup

 

[Fizzler]

Maybe it was Adelaide vs Hawks or Adelaide vs Eagles, since they had the tablecloth too.

 

[Marlowe]

This. Why? I don't understand why this continues to happen.

Thankfully that jumper seems to be getting less use this year. Games like Port v Hawthorn have been gold jumper/white shorts

In terms of contrast you can't get a lot better than that.

This should be in the "Worst decisions ever made by the AFL" thread

But we don't have that thread.

But we don't have that thread.

But it doesn't fit in this thread...unless you couldn't tell which players belonged to which team

Yeah, this just happens to be the going thread at the moment, and I just ran into the match up today doing a bit of research.
