I think I'd prefer a predominantly yellow away strip - not that I'd buy one but it should serve the purpose.

Alternatively just go skins for away games. That way we could all go to the games topless and not get arrested for indecent exposure.

I sent an email off to the Club a couple of weeks back with all of the alternative strips we had thought of included but I haven't received a reply ???  :-\. Maybe they are still in shock lol.

I re-sent the email directly to Steven Wright and he has kindly replied :):

--------------------

Thanks MT for your email. They certainly are striking designs.

The issue of the clash jumper is one that has generated a great deal of interest. The AFL have advised that clash/ alternative designs must also comply with the following criteria:

-  where the home club has a Guernsey with stripes or hoops, the clash Guernsey should not have stripes or hoops
-  where the home club has a dark coloured Guernsey, the clash Guernsey should be a light colour.

Thanks for your contribution and we will certainly keep it in mind as we plan for the design over the next few months.

Many thanks
Steven Wright

I know it's not a hoop or stripe and we've been competing against the bombers with the sash for 92 years but the only potential problem with the sash away strip is the AFL may knock it back on the grounds that when we play Essendon both sides will have sashes which sounds like what they no longer want :-\

If that's the case then the AFL have NFI.

I think that's a given in any case  ;).

Good to see you back on the boards Gusman  :thumbsup

That sure is a stiking design and i would think it would be very popular with merchandise sales also.

Not a fan of adding red, orange or whatever to our colours. That design reminds me of the Eagles away strip they had a couple of years ago. It must have looked good on paper because is was an absolute shocker in real life  :chuck. IMO if we can't come up with an away strip from yellow and black with a bit of white then there's something wrong.
