Are they more worried about the Umpires mixing the teams/players up then the players getting confused? Otherwise, why not let the teams decide if one needs to wear the clash jumper? I suppose Adelaide could be turds and still make them wear the clash top anyway. ?

Yesterday the Umps were wearing Yellow/ Green shirts

i mean really, the AFL are pathetic. 

Adelaide are entitled to wear there home strip, no arguement. 

But where is the "Clash" with Richmond if they wear white shorts???

Gill???

It's simple really.  Finish on top of the ladder and there will not be a problem!

Gils idea of a clash....Moet and Bollinger

( Personally being a Widow or Billecart plsshead isn't a problem )

Cant get over these people saying it isnt a clash.

It clearly is. Clearly.

The UMPS often clash more !!

at least the toiges don't have to wear a crummy predominately white strip

at least they are wearing their colours even if not in the traditional config

i don't mind the reverse image strip but i'm not a toiges fan

because they did it for aints i guess they have to be consistent and do it for the toiges

wouldn't be happy if i was a toiges fan but it's not really to bad given it's still 'yellow 'n black'

They don't

I truly couldn't care if we wore our clash strip in a GF. I'd just be freaking happy to be there.

Spot on. We have to push harder for an all red clash, OR I believe we should look at a light Blue and Red alternate. In EPL Football it is mandatory for each club to produce 3 kits. We have done this in previous seasons. We need to come up with 3 replicas of the traditional home jumper. One in White, one in either red (inverted) or light blue. It is that simple. Do away with the cheap training looking logo clash strip. They are putrid and it makes me barf seeing kids wearing them. 

Considering that our most iconic victories this year were in the away strip, i can't blame a kid for wanting that one. The traditional just reminds me of floundering in many games on the G this year, with the exception of Port.

Round 20, 2017

 

Round 3, 2017

Round 8, 2006. A while back but who's having trouble working out who's who?

Not semantics, we are a foundation club, if those that come later choose a strip that clashes with us that is their problem not ours.

 

Edit:- Let them wear pink, Oh wait!

Essendon and Carlton are also foundation clubs.

* EFC and Carl played each other and each time wore their usual jumpers and the away team wore white shorts.This did not seem to be a problem for anyone, including AFL house

Great point and one I've not seen raised before. If we clash with Carlton and Essendon then surely they also clash with each other? How much difference is there between our design and the Bombers design compared to Carlton's? If we have the "redback" design which we saw on occasions this year there should be no need to wear white against the Blues.

I understand your concerns. But all red doesn't really do it for me either.

I want to be as close to our 'traditional' jumper as possible and a lighter blue could do that.

If they go with a red jumper I hope they put some genuine thought into it rather than just slapping an emblem on it!

Red with a blue yoke (inverted traditional jumper) - I don't see an issue with that, better than the Bintang one we have now

VFL was founded in 1896 so all the clubs in the vfl in 1896 were foundation clubs

DC, my point is that the 1st team chooses its strip, it is the obligation of subsequent teams not to clash with existing teams.

If a Tasmanian team enters next season and it chooses to play in Grey, Orange and Mint,  then forever against GWS is should wear its clash guernsey say Choc Mint. 

Essendon FC can wear powder white - they know what that looks like

Carlton FC can wear [censored] brown - they give them to me
