Their only shorts man, wont make a lick of difference. If anything white with white for us black on black for them. Easier for all to see.

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
If they are only shorts, why can't the away team wear them?

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
It always irks me wearing the white or "away" shorts at home.
If a side cant come up with a legit clash strip it shouldnt be our problem.
Just look at it and say would Collingwood/Geelong or any big club do it? f*** no so why should we
BANG BANG

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
Richmond wears their "clash" jumper presumably because there is too much black in it. Then they wear black shorts and the home team wears white. Where's the logic in that?
The problem with footy clash jumpers is they try to be too much like footy jumpers. They should be a single color including the shorts with just a hint of the original colors.
I've been following Bayern Munich and when they came out with this clash jumper I had to buy one.

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
Thats what really gives me the s***s about the a@##oles at afl house .
Whilst i couldn't care less what colour shorts we wear , Its the principal of the matter !!!
WE are the HOME TEAM , so WE should wear our HOME Strip .
Its the fair way !!!!
unfortunately nothing about the Afl is really fair , smaller clubs get shafted all the time , and if you dig your heels in about an issue and ruffle their feathers , they simply put a mark against you , to F@#$ you over at a later date .
e.g. nine 6 day breaks this year !
Pop quiz , how many does collingwood have ?
answer 4

I agree, I think it's the jumper that's important. I know it really irks some, but the old rule of the away team wears white shorts hasn't been consistent for years.
If your home jumper has more white in it and it helps avoid a clash I don't have an issue with it.
I think the cats always wear white shorts against the pies, so both teams can wear their normal jumper.

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
I think it's crummy and plays a big part. Drives me insane when we wear white shorts for a home game.
Sports psychology around playing in your 'home' colours. I'm passionate about our home strip with black shorts. For me it's a crime and fills me with unkind thoughts about people running our club.

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
This thread might as well keep going until after the Essendon game because I suspect the same arrangements will be in place as were last night. For mine, the JUMPER is the important thing.
Hurricane; If you check properly I think you'll find that BOTH Collingwood & Geelong wear their white shorts for home games on occasions. Essendon, well that's another matter !!

I'm sure the white shorts didn't upset too many Saints fans on this day

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
The point is we capitulated.
It's OUR home game.
We should insist on OUR home strip.
NO COMPROMISE.

seriously
otherwise dont have the rule that the away side wears the white shorts
They NO LONGER have a rule that the away side needs to wear white shorts. The rule is that there must be a contrast to the home side. There are many ways you can interpret this rule but it comes down to the AFL not having the gonads to stand up to Essendon (and Collingwood for a while). The host broadcasters also get a say and we all know of the incestual relationship between Ch7 & Essendon !!

Re: We are wearing white shorts? WTF!
An intelligent and reasonable AFL administration would see that the HOME team wears their normal strip and the AWAY team does whatever necessary to avoid a clash.
We comply with an alternate strip for away games which in itself should entitle us to wear our home strip at home.
