Red Away Jumper.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

I like them all.

Same. To me they all look like Western Bulldog/Footscray and no one else.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

I prefer the white over the red.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

Hate the red, love the white

I agree.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

Ok, if there is a clash and we are the away team, we have to wear the clash jumper

So do we wear the red 'away' jumper for all other away games, even if our home top wouldn't clash?

I'm confused

Yeah, it is confusing.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

I'm not a fan of the Red.
I like the white but we should only wear it when there is a clash with the blue.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

Red is different for sure and it will take some getting used to.
Still, once it's processed in the mind as 'bulldog' guess it could be ok.
Personally, never been able to get used to white but I'm sure the red will grow more quickly on me.
white, Just looks a bit non-competitive.
Red, Think Chicago Bulls, Manchester.


I guess, some elements of the human mind and colour psychology are set in stone - Color has measurable effect on the human system. Like, white is the color of peace, priests and is ok if everyone is wearing it ( cricket ) but never really struck me as a successful design on the field.

Also, memories of my mum with the nappy san and my cricket whites!
I remember once going past the western oval and seeing the washing machines churning away out the back, near the child care centre. The white must be that much more of a hassle for the club.

Red looks great. Only bettered by black shorts to go with all three jumpers.

What would clear it up is a touch of communication from the club.

Small whinge though - I personally like the red (over the white in any case)

I'm guessing they believe the 3rd jumper would generate more supporter $ in merch as well

and nothing wrong with that. I think its great to have the three jumpers. We can see from the posters here that some like white and others red.

Agreed - much to the chagrin of my wife I'll probably get both the home & away tops...I'm just the kinda sucker targetted hey?

Re: Red Away Jumper.

I don't dislike the idea of having three jumpers where each of our tricolours in dominant. In my head it makes sense and could look really good, would look awesome in the crowd etc.

But, this one doesn't look too great. For whatever reason it doesn't look right to me. Mostly because the red washes out the blue,

White strip is still king in my book. It and the blue one really speak to me as Footscray jumpers. It really appeals to that identity and belonging the Bulldogs and not anyone else.

I'm not sure about the red one. Red reminds me of Melbourne, Essendon and St Kilda. They've all had similar strips that have mostly red at one point or another.

These teams all have red but it's hardily the dominating colour even on the alternate tops. I would say its closer to the swans than anyone else.

Re: Red Away Jumper.

Thats true with regards to their home kits, for sure. I'm more looking at their use of the colours for their away kits, Essendon's is predominately red, especially with the red shorts. Melbourne have generally gone with a red clash jumper.

St Kilda fair enough, they have either added stripes or gone for a white one similar to us.

I don't think so. Just because the sash is wider its still has more(as much) black than red. Their fans would cry is was anymore red.
