If any team deserve the right to stay true to their colours it Melbourne with its long heritage in the game. Assume we will have to have a 3rd strip also which is annoying

Barrie - this reminds me of that absolute farcical night we played Footscray a few years ago.......the night we wore the pink jumper........and the genius at AFLHQ put the maggots in pink  too.  Late in the game as we were attacking with a real chance of a rare win, one of our guys mistook a maggot for a player and passed to him....Dogs cleared it and saved the game.

As I recall DumbItriou made some smart arse comment and brushed it off. 

 

PS this 'clash jumper' is the best one yet. 

Remember it well happened right in front of me, believe it was Clint Bartram. Killed all our momentum, game over!

I seem to recall they've worn a predominantly red jumper against our preferred home one. 

Same diff really.

I see you in an entirely different context now. 

The Red Back jumper is enough to satisfy any clashes

when playing Sydney or GC $un$ we wear our original strip

We have set the precedent with the red back, the third alternative needs only be this. It is that simple. Even I, as a white jumper hater, would buy a jumper like this

Only if we really really really had to.

An interesting take on it. 

Only if absolutely positively no other way

Hahhaha hhaha. Where is the red jumper. Binned after 2 weeks. Must be too close to navy. Oh wait, we wore it against Carlton. I am lost. Again. Rules on the run , an AFL trademark

I think there was talk we might wear that red jumper  against St Kilda. Then we'll wear our white jumper against Essendon, West Coast, Adelaide, Carlton

Our clash jumper of last year is better than this year's version.

So we wear the red one against a team that has red on its jumper but not against navy. 

That jumper tonight stinks. The rule is a farce but we better get the design team on to a better version before next year, I've done the work for them above 

 

why hey wear white against Carlton when we already wore red in the jlt and it works

We wore our traditional jumper vs Carlton for JLT 2.

Why would we have to wear white against a side with no red?

Makes no sense whatsoever, which is precisely how the AFL's clash-jumper "policy" works.

Ban the White jumper, it saps our vigour !!

Liked the new clash jumper but given the aints had white as a major colour, wtf would the afl make us wear white shorts. They can never get it right, retards

Still don't understand why we can't wear our all red jumper with the MFC logo white shorts and redlegs against Meth Coast Port Richmond Carlton Adelaide and Essendon there's no clash there. Our new jumper with the red back works against the Saints.

And for whatever crazy reason they want us to change against the Suns than I don't mind Leoncelli's jumper above

I like the idea of simply inverting our home jumper as the best way to maintain our brand identity and tradition, whilst satisfying the AFL rules. West Coast and Richmond have both followed that path, and I reckon their clash jumpers look smart, whilst maintaining their brand identity.

Sydney can wear white shorts, even at SCG, we can wear navy blue

We're 3-0 wearing the white "clash" jumper, I believe?

Round 1 vs 'Aints

Round 6 vs Essendon

Round 8 vs Crows

 

We wore the traditional jumper for these away matches:

Round 3 vs Geelong

Round 5 vs Richmond

Round 1 was the traditional front with red on the back!

Strange, I loved it Saturday Night.

Grown on me too, not sure what all the hoohar was about. Still, I wish we didnt require them at all...like Collingwood.

If it means that the teams can be easily distinguished I am in favour of the clash guernseys.

Other sports have had them for donkey's years.

Collingwood, Essendon etc need to be pulled into line big time on this simple issue

Collingwood do have one, its white with black stripes, with the white shorts it is very white looking compared to the black jumper with white stripes and Essendon have an away jumper now.

Essendon's is grey if I recall with a red sash

Not what I would call a clash jumper in the viewing sense.

Collingwood's is a joke.

The colours need to be from a different spectrum along with the design.

Remind me who runs the AFL ?

Nah all red with two thin lines that define the sash.

We're actually doing well in the white jumper for a change!

its always going to be a downgrade but I don't mind the idea of the inverted jumper
