CLASH JUMPERS IN GRAND FINAL

Featured Replies

easy, both sides wear a strip which is half home strip and half away strip. tv station executives will love it. no winners, no losersย 

ย 

remind me... was there a GF where the team that wore the clash jumper had their traditional jumper ready to put on for the celebrations?

IIRC they lost

I loathe our white away strip and I feel for Richmond more if they have to wear the yellow over Adelaide having to wear their away strip. Having said that shouldn't the higher ranked team be given the choice considering that's how the finals system works in relation to "home" teams?

Clash strips were not an issue for over a hundred years.ย 

If there was no confusion on b&w TV - NB in two GFs in 1977 Norf v Collingwood - then why should there be one in 2017??

The AFL in their typical arrogant manner have created a pseudo-problem* and now selectively dictate solutions.ย 

* rushed behinds in one GF,ย ย resting players in the final round in one season (an experiment that backfired) are just a couple of other examples.ย 

This is hard for meย 

Bartlett is right

There i said it.

Have to go shower now...


We are red and blue. FFS if we clash eith the dark colour of Bombers Blues Port Meth Coast then red jumper and blue yoke or MFC monogram with white shorts sorts that out.

Hope Tigers wear their traditional jumper and pay the fine

Yep was St.Kilda in 2010

Thank you
A Collingwood Premiership.... no wonder it was wiped from my mind !

I think the main motivation is all the photographs of players celebrating Stkilda's only premiership showed them in Collingwood jumpers as the players had swapped after the siren. ย 

Collingwood spoiled the party twice.

You bet he is

this is just Bull[censored] and there is absolutely no need for it

i hope Richmond wear their Trad Jumper proudly

I still have nightmares of our players handballing to the umpires when they were wearing pink for the Breast Cancer match against the Bulldogs at the G in 2010.

If the clash exists, which I believe it doesย in the Crows v Tiges, then it benefits everyone to reduce it.

I don't think I'd care what our team is wearing if we won a flag; they can run around in frilly pink g-strings as long as they win a premiership.ย 

There is clearly a clash.

Dark blue with yellow and redย 

Black with yellow

Moving at high speed and youve gotta pick a target 50m away. Obvious clash.

Higher team gets choice - perfectly fair.

ย 

It is beholden on us dees to get a proper clash kit and not a [censored] white one.

Rubbish decision, there away jumper looks like a lemon tart.ย 


how come richmond finish lower and get a home ground advantage (again)

let them wear the canary yelllow rig

suffer in their jocks

I hate the alternate jumper scene but in addition to the notorious pink umpires costing us a game against the 'Dogs in '10 I also remember Peter Walsh under pressure 40 minutes from the Essendon goal hand passing to...James Hird, who duly kicked a goal in what was a crucial point against the Bummers.

Would hate to see that in a GF (and of course the Essendon clash strip in another AFL stuff up has even MORE RED than usual).

Well that's why we need a better clash jumper.

I always think it funny that for almost 1.5 centuries we could work out which team was which we even had decades of B & W Tv and still worked it out but now we cannot work out Richmond and Adelaide.

Also back in the day , they were all covered in mud for many games !ย 

The only clash is that between the AFL and common sense. Let the AFL administrators spend their lives in AFL approved garb if they wish. Let Gil wear AFL approved canary jocks round his head for the week.The ย so called jumper clash is a complete furphy. Richmond should just wear their club jumper and donate the canary top to Gil. The AFL need Richmond, Richmond don't need the AFL. Another piece of b******t is the AFL approved record crowd for yesterday. Prelim crowds have topped the 94k mark in past years and we don't have to wipe another piece of Victorian football history just to sign-off on more AFL propaganda.

I quite like theย one with the red back.

Never had a problem with clash jumpers.

Cannot think of too many professional sports around the world that don't have them.

Must say that the Toiges alternate strip is a "bright" one....... (Wonder if it is a big seller)
