Richmond will unveil its clash jumper in Sunday’s twilight ‘Blockbuster’ against Essendon at the MCG.
The design is very similar to the traditional Tiger guernsey, but with a lot more yellow incorporated. There are yellow side panels, a yellow collar, yellow around the sleeves, as well as a wider yellow sash. The number on the back is black inside a white panel.
Tiger members and supporters overwhelmingly voted for this clash strip in a special poll conducted on the Club’s website last year.
The alternative guernsey was designed at the request at the AFL, to specifically avoid a clash in away matches against Essendon.
Retention of the famous colors and sash was a key consideration for the Tigers in designing a clash strip.
