Socks with sandals?

Should nip that in the bud before Geelong come to recruit him.

If we are wearing red backs, this means we’d be wearing white shorts. We have never worn redbacks with blue shorts. Very bizarre if true. We are the home team as far as this all goes, are we not? That’s how it has worked in previous years

It's already been announced that the Bulldogs will be wearing the white shorts.

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

My guess is for this purpose - we sent our jumpers off to get the logo, so we used these old jumpers for photos/media?

I don't know otherwise.

There is no home team for the Grand Final. Usually it's a coin toss isn't it as to who wears home strip and the other side gets to pick their change rooms.

No the team that finished higher on the ladder is the “home” team.

As you'll see from this Tweet, it's not clear if either of these is correct (at least, as at 2017).

Generally speaking Clint Bizkit is right, the team higher on the ladder wears its home jumper, but 2015 was an exception - West Coast finished above Hawthorn on the ladder, but in the Grand Final the AFL made West Coast wear its clash jumper, so that Hawthorn could wear its home jumper (albeit with white shorts).

2015 was my reference, I’d forgotten that the royal blue jumper wasn’t West Coast’s home jumper that year.

Geelong and Sydney being in so many Grand Finals muddies the water because Geelong offen wear white shorts home and Sydney often wear red shorts away.

I'll guess that the redback jumper was being used simply because we need our players to be in clean club gear every day and on this day the property steward had a spare set of redback jumpers to use.

Think you'll find it was WCE's preference to wear the royal blue jumper in the 2015 GF, which is now their home jumper anyway. They did the same in 2005 and 2006, despite no clash with Sydney, when back then they had a predominately navy blue home jumper.

If we are wearing the redback (which we probably aren't), it may be the club's choice to save pushing the Dogs to wear white and thereby given them more ammunition to fire up for the game, and provide better visibility for the players.

 

In the 2015 GF West Coast wore their away jumper as opposed to their clash jumper if that makes sense. West Coast’s clash jumper was white that year and they were more than happy to wear their away royal jumper with matching shorts.

Fat lot of good that did them as they got trounced that day.

Wow. The redback mystery. Love it

This two week break between games is working out a treat.

The Bulldogs should be wearing their white jumper anyway.

My guess is the Redback could be worn for the practice match today. From memory we wore the Redback in the intra-club game after the Essendon postponement last season.

Why it doesn’t clash. If they’d finished on top, I wouldn’t want them to force us to change either 

This thread is redundant....  the video on the mfc Facebook page putting the logos on the jumper clearly shows  a blue back.

 

Everybody was jumping at shadows

I used to like the beer until Matilda Bay were brought out by CUB and they changed the formula to keep cost down.

Pity...

You can see the seam and the edge of the jaguar logo. 

Navy Blue back woooo

Since the 2016/17? Bali away fiasco the club has nailed everyone of its jumpers and most of its marketing. The Red-back looks awesome. Who cares? Let's win a premiership!

100% we are not wearing the red back.
