Next years guernsey

And imagine what the founders of the club would think, with us playing in that white thing...

white. The sign of surrender. As i said fo you 3 years ago there is more to the white clash jumpers than just a conflict of colour.

The AFL will always prefer a home team to win. It is far better economics and since the home ground advantage has been mostly curtailed then the white jumpers are the next best thing.

I have more of a problem with the umpires wearing coloured rubbish than any of the original jumpers.

The clash arguement is a beat up.

The wearing of our clash jumper against St. Kilda makes the contest more confusing.

"Oh it was an oversight.." Get real. It is a marketing ploy.

i imagine the 1861-1862 guys would say oh no, thought we fixed that

It's not a colour.

And it is the colour of the founding of this game and your club.

LOL Internet searching you got to love it!

Yes i know white is not a colour. It is a shade.

Still the sign of surrender....

[Machsy 2,858]

Yeah, white being "the sign of surrender" has worked out so poorly in Sydney in recent years...

OMG, Geelong has white on its jumper too!

And Collingwood! And North!

How have these teams done so well in the last 2 decades, against such a powerful force as having white on the jumper?!

Seriously WYL, how do you not see the idiocy of such statements..?

you like the white jumper. To me it is a diluted nothing. During the 70's i had trouble watching the royal blue concoction.

In 1987 the red and dark blue jumper returned.

I bought a membership before the round one game started.

Each to their own Machsy.

The shade of white is not part of a Demon Jumper in my house.

You live in a different place.

[Machsy 2,858]

You live on a different plane...

[Sir Why You Little 36,762]

You live on a different plane...

To you?

Is there a law to say i must embrace the clash strips?

I don't like any of them. Cheapens the game in my eyes. How anyone cannot decipher each club jumper on an HD TV is beyond me.

i agree, except i wish channel 7 DID broadcast in HD!

[Sir Why You Little 36,762]

Yes, well you can blame the 1.3Bill deal for that!

But even a modern SD picture is sharp enough.

[rpfc 28,084]

Geelong had first dibs on red and blue though...

1862 Geelong:

Should we really be wearing it?

[daisycutter 29,455]

I like Port adelaides first three attempts - see no.3 - LOL

[rpfc 28,084]

I prefer Carltons' cravat...

[Sir Why You Little 36,762]

Those Carltank Pyjamas are very trendsetting indeed.

[obbafan 128]

It's about light and dark jumpers, that's the policy the AFL and all teams adhere to it (even Collingwood and Essendon).

Because we all watch the footy on black and white TVs. There was a Port Adelaide game (I think) last season where there was a real problem but otherwise this whole thing is ridiculous. Primary colours can be retained almost always. The white is insipid. I watched many Demons Fitzroy games live without any confusion. The EPL teams change their tops each year for marketing and therefore sales but there are genuine clashes. When I watch our team in the white top most often I cannot see why.

[rpfc 28,084]

At first glance - lol.

At second glance - judos to 1870s Adelaidians (I don't know what they are called) for being so vivid and experimental.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Why don't we wear a pink away jumper next year and then when we come out still soft as butter under the sun we can blame it on that?

[Mallee Bull 97]

The Doggies have a red clash along with their white clash. Surely that has opened the door for a red clash strip for us? (Along with the white one)

[Mallee Bull 97]

Example.

yes. it's been suggested before that we could have 2 clash jumpers which would at least reduce the number of times we are forced to wear the yukky white

i think the club could consider this. the cost is negligible esp as they often wear one-off specials anyway.

it would also give them an extra merchandising option which i think would be attractive to many

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Exactly. Have the white jumper as a decoy to please the AFL, then don't wear it. I think the Dogs only wore their white one once this year so it's not like there's a minimum of times you have to wear a jumper. Hawthorn wore there white one once too I think. The Dogs wore their red against the Eagles and I doubt the AFL complained of a dark on dark clash.

Home guernsey: 16 times (5 with away shorts V Hawthorn, Bulldogs, NM, Richmond, GWS)

Red guernsey: 6 times (V St.Kilda, Carlton, Adelaide, Essendon, Port Adelaide, West Coast)

White guernsey: Preseason guernsey, toilet paper, sanitary napkin, sun shield on a car, scrap material for arts and crafts, fuel for a campfire

Simple.

It's the 'red and the blue' - I don't like the all red thing we had a few years ago - it's not our jumper.

If it's all red, it may as well be white.
