    I like the white. It's how a clash strip should be.

    The red strip just doesn't look right to me.

    Re: Please Don't Wear Red

    Can't abide the all-white, for us or anyone else. Call me old school but still think tennis getup looks vapid on a football field.

    As for the red, it's a radioactive eyesore and too dramatic a departure from our fine traditional colours.

    Here's a little something I knocked together. Have oft wondered why we don't just run with this for away games, matched to white shorts.



    Simple, honours the strip, and does the job I think.

    Re: Please Don't Wear Red

    I'm not overly fussed, but if we wear red, I'd ditch the matching shorts. The all red is just ugly overkill.

    As long as it is hoopy and has our tri-colour, that's all that matters to me.

    I hate the red, don't mind the white. Hate the red.

    Did I mention I hate the red?

    Agree with you. Red just does not look right!

    Re: Please Don't Wear Red

    The 3 jumpers we have are fantastic.

    I love the all red get up, red jumper, shorts and socks. I love the white get up as well. They are absolutely perfect clash strips when matched against appropriate opposition.

    Blue strip - all home games
    White - Demons, Freo, Essendon, Adelaide, Brisbane away
    Red - West Coast, Geelong, Collingwood, North and Carlton away

    Re: Please Don't Wear Red

    Yeah, I like that Rocket Science. But I also don't mind any of our strips. At least they are all traditional looking strips, just a rotation of the colours. I hate swoops, fades, Military Camouflage (where the hell does THAT come from) Cartoon characters etc etc. But I could definitely live with this design. Another design I reckon would work as an away strip, is an all black jumper, with a red and a blue hoop. Just like the white strip, but using Black instead of white. Would look a lot more menacing. I'd mock one up but I'm a computer caveman.

    Hmmmm. The belt doesn't match the boots, otherwise, this is very fetching.

    I don't mind this Central Districts style we wore once or twice during the old Tuesday Night Comp back in the 80's
