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



http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/28398/default.aspx

Why didn't they say whether the yellow jumper would be worn with yellow shorts and socks?
Probably because our club was being run by a bunch of morons back then  :whistle

If this was being done today I would imagine Martin and Cotchin wearing the full kit showing the different options we have and a vote based off that.

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.

Don't think the AFL will to be honest

Bombers had to change theirs now because it didn't meet the requirements

They haven't told us to come up with something else so we don't have to change  ;D

Not fussed one way or another these days to be honest

But AFL have no probs with our current one and like it or not the current one was chosen by the members & supporters so I cannot see it being changed

The more I look at that Bummers guernsey the more I don't mind it. It's 'fresh' and I hope it's a trend setter for the future. I really don't like that white strip the Dawks wear, and Freo, Bumdogs and Pooer all look like ballerinas in their white clash strip. There will be moaning to begin but everyone will get over it. The sash design for example, I wouldn't mind if the Bums or even we eventually evolve into some more 'modern' (if you get what I mean) like that but on top of black for the regular home and away strip.

Yep. Essendon was told red was a 'dark' colour so reversing their strip or adding more red was no longer an option. The AFL also told the Bombers if they didn't come up with something like this one then they'd be fine $5000 per player who didn't wear it on the weekend. In other words, they would've copped a $110,000 fine.

As for us yellow would be classed as a 'light' colour so adding more yellow to our jumper as we have done is okay with the AFL. It's the same excuse Collingwood have to use their old guernsey as their 'alternative' strip with white being a light colour. It's a joke really given Freo wore white on the weekend against the Pies black with white stripes jumper.

Not a fan, don't like white in our jumper.

Maybe as opposed to the white, fill the rest with yellow as well?

Slightly changed your design Mrakov, apologies over the art work, just did this one quickly through paint, but you get the idea.  :thumbsup

We (the mods) thought it was best to remove it.
