RFCO - so young, so innocent....

Was interested to see how much our answers would have differed.
Any idea what they'll be selling for and if we can pre-order? I'm pretty keen on the VFL clash strip.

Not sure on price, and pre-order will be available in a few weeks.

Bump.

Define a few weeks please.

Seems all a bit overly relaxed and non-committal.

Here's what our alternative VFL guernsey looks like in action ...





Thoughts?

It's ok but definitely lacks the power of the traditional black and yellow sash strip. Always think of the WA origin jumper. Just doesn't feel 'Richmond' to me. Think it has something to do with too much yellow..dunno.

Why wear prodominately yellow against the Dogs ?  Why not the yellow sash ?

In AFL Vic speak perhaps Pre-conditioning the market .....

VFL has away guernseys as opposed to clash guernseys

Better than Blue and Red.

They do? Since when?

The VFL have a clash guernseys policy and when required they direct clubs to wear them

However, my understanding is that clubs have the option of wearing them for away games if they chose.

Port Melb for one doesn't have an away guernsey, actually don't think they even have a clash guernsey  ;D

They were meant to wear the home afl clash strip vs the dogs but the players started to weep when they saw how ugly the look. The decision was then made to wear the yellow with black sash.

I assumed it was the case given Coburg always seemed to wear the red guernsey with blue sash for all away games.  Why would a club do that when it is not league policy?
