Umpires colours tonight

[ickey_11 145]

Anderson has decreed that the umpires will be wearing red tops and navy blue shorts, in part to honour Sean Wight. Anderson was quoted "I thought about emerald green but then was advised that Sean was actually Scottish and I was concerned that the players might confuse the umpires with the turf." When asked about the similarity between the Melbourne jumper Anderson quoted "I have studied the Melbourne team sheet and I did notice that their nominated colour blind player, Clint Bartram is out so I don't expect any issues".

We'll be wearing white anyway so...

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

That's good,ickey.

And so like the kind of stuff that AA would actually say, I didn't twig until the last sentence. 5 stars.

Actually was thinking what jumper we will be wearing. Are we going with the white? The obvious of for dogs to wear there white strip and us wear 'home' kit but common sense never prevails. Umpires surely in yellow or green.

Huh?

The are the home team, they should wear their traditional strip and we should be made to wear cream-coloured tapioca, or play naked with a great big red and blue turban if required.

I know it's there home game but if the AFL were serious about Jumper clashes they would make every team have two jumpers and the ones that don't clash the teams should wear. If we wear our white jumper it will still be a little confusing. But my eyes are average haha.

I also hope the doggies go back to the stripe without the bulldog on it. Looked great the other week but thats another story.

I think it will work ok. We will still be predominantly white. But sometimes things in theory don't work out.

I definitely agree about the bulldogs wearing a more traditional strip, it looked great.

I think it will be like against St. Kilda this year

Our clash strip will clash more than if we wore our home strip

Just more nonsense from the Central Committee

I think last year was the bca match which we wore pink and the umpires wore something similar and i think jnr mac handballed to an umpire

[Striker475 696]

Wearing yellow but their minds are totally on getting the doggies a win.
