Redjacket 760 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 We're wearing our white away guernsey. It's horrible. We don't look tough in it and it sucks watching the highlights. Not good to use any great marks or goals for branding or marketing when wearing it. I wish they'd wear the red one. Who else hates it?

It's the biggest seller! I don't mind it....
45HG 1,559 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 If we win by 60+ I'll be pretty happy to watch the highlights time and again.
rpfc 29,020 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Rocked up to training with it last year and was told it looked "sick"...

The club shelved it after the AFL only approved using it against two teams (or so they were saying at the Demonshop when I was there last week). Shame, I really liked it.
Maple Demon 449 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The white one is better than the silver/grey monstrosity the Dees wore a few seasons back. Or is that just part of my nightmares?
Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 The Essendon player's blood will show up much better on the white. I actually don't mind it.
Pates 9,697 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I know grand scheme of things it's nothing but it is one of my annoyances about us EVERY YEAR playing an away game to this mob. That plus the fact we miss potential good gate takings, it's an annual frustration.

The AFL's rationale was that "red" is a dark colour, not a light one and we need a "light" colour for a clash guernsey. Somehow Essendon gets away with having their normal jumper with grey and a wider red sash - not sure how that qualifies as "light". May be part of the reason we never get a home game against them as stupid as that sounds.

45HG 1,559 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Play the way we did last week throughout the season and we won't need to worry about fixturing next year. It's an unfortunate part of the AFL beast. It's not fair. But it's the way it works.

This is true but we also are the home team on queens birthday every year Im not sure it matters that much, i believe this week replacement home game anyway? If they are so keen to keep those NT games they must be more profitable than the takings from this game anyway

(or bukk nekkid - neither option is particularly appealing)

P-man 13,367 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I don't mind it. Never understood the hate for it.

old dee 24,082 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 This is quite amazing we almost made it to April before the clash jumper subject raise it's head. I don't care what we wear when we are winning. For me it is the winning not the clash jumper that counts.

Of course if we win a flag I'll be delirious anyway but it will be a shame if we have to raise the cup in a white uniform instead of our traditional navy blue with red yolk.

In all honesty Dr if we win the grand final I wont even notice what jumper we are wearing. However I would not worry about it in 2016 perhaps 2018 /9 it might be a problem.
