Little like GWS wearing white instead of orange against Collingwood. Anyway, on with the game

A couple of times yesterday, I reckon our players confused the guernseys. Our players had to accustom themselves to picking out our players in St Kda-like jumpers.

Once, when Jetta ran clear , couldn't see any short options,and booted it 50m to a Saint out by himself( who had plenty of time to hit a teammate on the chest, resulting in a goal from his pass). I can't remember the exact details of the other occasion, but it was similar.

So I think it's possible that it might not have happened if we'd worn less StKilda- like jumpers, and we might have won!

I don't mind them.

They look ok.

Does anyone else think that the clash jumper actually clashed more with the saints than our regular jumper? That red strip on the side looks very similar to the Saints red strip.

Another weird decision by the AFL.

That was Jetta being selfish and playing for himself.

"Get this ball out of the defensive 50 so I don't have to worry about it".

Unfortunately that doesn't work these days - it just comes straight back.

Shits me royally we cant have this as an alternate!

and if we have to have white : (although id have the red and blue v's next to eachother)

Stole these from bigfooty - because they are good

That hawks silver and gold jumper is horrendous. To think someone found a way to make the poo wee jumper worse...

We have a red clash jumper. I am uncertain as to why we wouldn't have worn it against the saints. It was spoken about last year after we almost clashed more with saints by wearing white. The same thing this year. Mind boggling stuff from the AFL, but hardly surprising. I don't know when or if we will wear the red clash. What was the point of having it if the AFL weren't going to allow it to be worn.

As I also said, it wasn't the only stupid clash jumper assignment on the weekend. GWS who usually wear orange changed to a white And grey jumper to ensure they didnt clash with black and white of Collingwood

If Tight azz Channel 7 broadcast games in HD then there would be no need for these abomination clash jumpers, and that is what they are. All of them.

By the time they get to broadcast HD 'SWYL', everyone else would have moved on to the next big thing.

I found it hard to get used to at first, especially being on the top level. Way too much white on the field, even though our previous white one was worse. The red definitely was the better alternative + we should be allowed to wear it as it actually features our colours.

Also, apparently when it was introduced it said we would be wearing the red clash on 'several occasions' this year. Surely with a no-show against the Saints there's a good chance we won't wear it at all?

I like them too.

I don't like wearing them when there's no need, though.

The current jumpers are fine, there's nothing wrong with them. It's the times we're required to put them on that are the problem.

I think I will email the club to clarify. I am thinking we at Carlton at the G, is that an away match? Might wear it then.

We should be wearing it. We also have games against the Dogs, Bombers and Dockers where we should be wearing it, but you never know.

Agree Titan. Surely at the start of the season the AFL could get the traditional and away strip of each club and work out the likely clashes.

There is no doubt against the Saints our clash jumper actually clashed more than our traditional strip. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Surely you are not suggesting that AFL might be making a mistake hb.

Careful Gil does not send around the integrity officer.

Side panels. Get rid of side panels!!!!

Old, I know it's hard for them to fathom but it's just so bloody obvious. I would have thought Mark Evans who seems to be a pretty sensible guy, would look at it and say "look this is stupid, supporters want to see their traditional strips, unless there is a obvious clash let's let the teams play in their traditional jumpers."

I like the socks.

This year's clash jumper is by far and away the best we've ever had.

We've come a long way since the silver top taxi version of 2008.

The opposition are generally the team wearing the Guernsey's with the ball in hand..

Any clash jumper looks better than Hawthorns tonight. It looks like something from an ABBA video clip.

you cant stop the music....

Shoenmakers can go out clubbing in his clash jumper.

I think they look like knobs (literally)

Or, giant novelty condoms.

Not a good look

Leigh Matthew's comment about the white socks making them look like soccer players was right on the money. Somehow that just looks wrong ... As for the rest of it, somehow I don't think Hawthorn and Adelaide clash, and that crappy jumper makes me want to chunder.
