in my very humble and self -important opinion ( lol ) I think the nexus about that which the question of away strip colouring centers is to look at the originating jumper' pallette. A reason that say StKilda, Carlton Freo , even Doggies, dont look too bad ( in a fashion ) is that WHITE plays a part in the original theme. All you are then really doing is transpositioning the relatitve important of this hue or that. There is NO white in Melbourne's Jumper.
To introduce white then just makes ours look false, fraudelent. Essendon is proof that the white requirement is a total crock
