If the scum are the away side they should have white shorts.

Every so often this topic about clash jumpers pops up again as it did this morning on the radio (SEN). Don't be surprised if Andy D and AA take this issue up as their next hobby horse after last night's game between Essendon and Melbourne  :-\.

Clash jumper: your say (afl site)

And right on cue..... 


Clash jumper: your say
By Adam McNicol
Fri 25 Feb, 2011


THE AFL is appealing to all footy followers have their say on the issue of clash jumpers.

A renewed debate has begun after Essendon and Melbourne wore similar colours in their NAB Cup qualifying final on Thursday night at Etihad Stadium.

... Anderson said opinion remains divided.

"I've heard a number of people say they thought it was fine and other people say they thought it was no good," he said.

"Both clubs indicate they doubt there's an issue there. The clubs both say that from a players' point of view there is no problem.

"The umpires say they had no problem, but we want to find out from our fans whether they believe there is an issue.

"I'd like to pose the question to all supporters: Watching last night's game, did you have a problem with Melbourne being in their home strip with white shorts and Essendon in their home strip with black shorts?"

Anderson is encouraging people to have their say on afl.com.au.

"Here's a great opportunity for fans to tell us what they think," he said.

"Do you prefer to see the clubs in their home guernseys, or, when they've both got dark guernseys like that, do fans prefer one of them the wears a clash strip?

"We'd really like to know what our fans think."

Unless Collingwood get to have a genuine away guernsey not one with more white on black stripes as opposed to the more black with white stripes then this discussion is pointless fruitless meaningless hapless spineless.

Clash? What clash?

No two club jumpers have ever been the same in the history of the VFL/AFL.

Fully agree MM.  Apart from the extra merchandising opportunity for the clubs, there is no good reason they can put up for me to believe a clash guernsey is needed.  Played footy all my life in a number of different leagues and its was never ever an issue for me, even on the muddiest of days/grounds.  And I'm colour blind!  Leave the damn things alone and give us yet another degree of separation from the other codes we compete for support against.

There's no harm in making sure the two teams playing a game of footy are easily distinguishable, which is why i'm for the idea of "clash jumpers", and even "away jumpers". I'm well aware of the argument is that the jumper represents the history, culture and everything else about the club, so there's no reason to send the team out to play in something else that doesn't carry any history, but it's certainly not as though teams are doing away with the home jumper! A "clash jumper" system, if designed properly which it's not at the moment, would remove the problem of teams wearing similar jumpers, without compromising the integrity of a club's home jumper.

As mentioned on BF, the online sporting merchandise store "Goodscore" has us wearing the same alternative strip this year...
