Why wasn't Geelong forced to wear a clash jumper in the GF??

viewed from the left the st kilda jumper looks black, and you might see some white. same with collingwood. hence our clash jumper, with a white back, reduces the similarity. granted the shorts are different colours (white versus black) but this is not considered enough of a difference to the AFL. i tend to agree.End Of An Era wrote:Fair enough, so how the hell does our jumper clash with Collingfilths? We have red on the front and on our back it is all black. They don't have red on the front and their back is black and white. Mind you the biggest issue is that Eddie caused the clash by changing their jumper about 10 years ago.HSVKing wrote:I haven't called you a name, I've stated simply what you are being, stupid!End Of An Era wrote:I could easily start calling you names as well but I won't stoop to that level.
I'll ask the question again. During the season when Collingfilth are hosting Geelong, do Geelong wear their clash jumper? If the answer is "NO" because Geelong's clash jumper clashes with the filths home jumper then that means Geelong do not have a compliant clash jumper and that is not a valid reason for Geelong not having to wear a clash jumper when being hosted by Collingfilth.
A 'clash' jumper is designed to be a back-up in case a clash of jumpers occurs when the 2 teams REGULAR jumpers clash.
Geelong only need theirs for when they play against North Melbourne, as they are the only 2 sides whos REGULAR jumpers are WHITE based.
If this doesn't penetrate your skull, I don't think anything will.
Red white and black front, plus black back with white shorts does not clash with black and white front and back with black shorts.
More importantly, we should adopt one of the clash jumpers (if not both) I suggested in my OP so if we are forced to wear clash jumpers at least it will resemble our traditional jumper and not the abomination we had in last years GF's.
