I think it's just the name they've given it smokey

AFL told them the had to come up with a new alternative jumper and they've gone down this path by taking it a little further and I suppose giving it a point of difference.

I reckon compared to some of the others you see it looks very good.

I also like the idea of the names of all the premiership players being printed in the grey area. Nice touch and a very good marketing idea - they will sell a truck load

Looks sensational

Feels a bit dirty saying it, but it does

Great so I'm not alone if thinking it doesn't look bad. Is a good idea but what does make it look funny is that kia logo.

At the end of the day its a marketing ploy to generate sales let's so let's smash em in rd 22 and make em wanna forget they ever went out in theose jumpers!

I think it looks good. Wouldn't mind our own take on it.

This should be our clash:

I agree, it should be. I voted for this option 4-5 years ago when they had the members voting for the 'clash' strip in which our current design won.

[Phil Mrakov]

Did that design have yellow shorts and socks too?

What colour was the collar?

I actually found a link to the original article and a small picture showing the options we had:

Help decide new Tiger guernsey

Richmond members and supporters have the opportunity to vote on-line for a new Tiger clash strip.

There are two options, which have been designed at the request of the AFL to avoid a clash when the Tigers meet Essendon.

The Club considered some more radical designs, but in the end opted to preserve Richmond’s heritage with respect to the colors and sash.

Design 1 is very similar to the traditional Tiger guernsey design, but there’s a lot more yellow incorporated. There are yellow side panels, a yellow collar, yellow around the sleeves, as well as a wider yellow sash.
 

Design 2 is a reverse of the normal jumper, with a black sash on a yellow background. It’s reminiscent of the old Western Australian State guernsey.

I reckon the afl will make us change it soon, it doesn't really solve the clash issues it should.

I reckon we wil wear the above strip in the not too distant future! It would solve every single clash so easily.

Quoted me before I could get the edit done

Why didn't they say whether the yellow jumper would be worn with yellow shorts and socks?
