Crap design....and stuff the reverse strip/WA state jumper everyone wants too....here's an idea - how about we just tell the AFL to stick their clash jumpers like Collingwood did - we're not an insignificant little club like North and we shouldn't meakly back down.

Really?

Collingwood have a clash jumper, to say they don't is incorrect. They orginally said they wouldn't be doing one but were forced to come up with one

Granted it isn't much different from their main jumper - just more white than black but it is none the less a clash jumper

Every club in the comp has a clash jumper, how much they ended up differing from their respective traditional jumpers was the choice of each club and then signed off by the AFL.

The fact that some are not very far removed from their traditional jumpers (eg Pies and Tigers) is not because of clubs standing up to the AFL but more to do with the AFL not having the guts to force clubs to make radical changes

If Collingwood really had a clash strip then we wouldn't see the ridiculous situation of North having to wear their clash strip when they play Collingwood as the home team. The whole idea is nothing but a cynical marketing exercise and a revenue raising scam. Makes you wonder how people were ever able to watch the game on black & white television for all those years or when the grounds used to get muddy like they did for a century and still do in the lower leagues.

Yes but we still managed alright, just like we'd go watch those games where both teams were caked in mud after 10 minutes.

It's all the more laughable and lacking in credibilty when we've had matches in recent years where the runners & even the umpires are all decked out in gear that clashes with teams far worse than any of the guernseys do.

Even with clash jumpers, some games you still have to look for the shorts when watching on TV.

Its not that hard to do.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Interesting to see that the Rebel web-site has cheaper prices than the club and a greater range (they've got the BLK caps  ;D:o :o

Mr RFC_O won't be happy
