Redbacks?

[Great Northern Summer 708]

Our media promo just had us in our red back guernsey? Surely we’re not wearing them? I actually like it but wouldn’t see why...

[Demonland 73,485]

I assume you're referring to this post. 

The jumpers don't have the 2021 AFL Grand Final logo on them so maybe not. 

[Lucifers Hero 40,519]

Did someone say we aren't making players available for the media...

...looking at you Caro!

I'm also worried about the pants and shoes. Hope we don't go in with those as our match day kit!

Caro fairly and squarely put back in her place today by the players instead of her shooting her mouth off why not wait and see. The club were very good in 2018 why would this change now?.

Looking for a headline grabbing opportunity during a GF build up.

That's just Tracc in his jamies.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,255]

Aside from this year we usually wear the red back against the Dogs in away games.

We won’t be wearing it in the GF unless we request to.

Maybe it's a jumper for media work😘

[The Chief 697]

The 2 week strain is really showing when this becomes a topic for discussion. .  

[DemonSam 171]

We did originally have to wear the red backs against the dogs, but earlier this year we wore our regular jumper. Interesting though Viney is also wearing one...

I don’t see why would they just randomly pull out the redbacks, gotta be wearing them on the big day?!

They could wear fuchsia g strings for all I care.  Just win

As the higher-ranking team we deserve to wear the red and blue traditional strip.

Exactly. If there is a concern for a clash then the Bulldogs have to wear white.

[Sideshow Bob 2,462]

As the home team. We should be in traditional jumpers and blue shorts.

Dogs as the away team should be in white shorts with their away (white strip)

 

will be bloody annoyed if it's not that way - we have earned the right as minor premier and straight through 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,016]

I think it's already been reported somewhere that each team will wear its traditional strip, with the Bulldogs in white shorts.

Never mind the redbacks, we might be looking at barking spiders if they did that.

I'd be more annoyed if the AFL told us to wear the red back shirt over us choosing to wear it.

It would be wrong for them to force us to change because a) The AFL let the doggies wear their home shirt full well knowing there is a slight clash. b) Officially announcing both teams would wear their traditional garb and c) we are the home team, doggies can wear white.

There must be a reason behind this, I can’t see how all the players in the media photos would all be in the red back jumper out of coincidence…I hope we wear our traditional strip.

Apparently Richmond drove a lot of revenue from sales of their 2017 premiership clash strip.

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,293]

Yeah we have been told by AFL and 7 to wear red backs. I reckon  they announced ‘traditional strip’ hoping that we would all be none the wiser. Absolute Joke! We deserve the home strip. While it isn’t a massive departure from our home jumper, it is not our jumper.

Where did you see this?

[titan_uranus 25,175]

I suspect we were wearing the redback jumpers because we've sent our regular jumpers off to get the Grand Final logo heat pressed onto them.

We stopped wearing the redback jumper after the 2019 season. We don't sell it any more.

The AFL has already confirmed we're wearing our regular jumper, too.

It's not needed against the Dogs (or West Coast, a side we've also worn it against). Their jumpers are royal blue and there is no clash with our much darker navy blue.

So why would we have them with us in Perth in 2021?
