Worst AFL guernsey designs

I think white guernseys done right can look good, North Adelaide's current away top (similar to old Sth Melbourne/Sydney) is probably my favourite footy top.
Also love white rugby union and league jerseys. I think Tottenham's old combination (and used once this year at least) of the navy blue shorts and white top looks sensational too.
Problem is that most if not all these AFL clubs just don't do them right!

North's away strip does look good,as the red shorts really bring out the teams colours.
If they wore white shorts with it,then all is lost.

On the subject of white shorts,I would love to see North wear them at home.That's my first memory of Norf,with good ol' Dennis Sachse/

That is happening this season. Red jumper with 70's V, white shorts (except when playing Central way where we will wear red shorts) and red socks with a white top.
Piss weak SANFL and the CLOWNS who run it.

Great news...love that look
On the other hand,I gather Centrals will be wearing blue shorts at Prozzie.

Not so great news.
We only win things in white shorts. :lol:

Only when they were the away team, regardless of venue, to Sturt, West Torrens and Norwood.

Neither.
They wore them as clash jerseys against IIRC, Carlton and wore them, at least
three or four times.

I see the Hawks have done the same as North Melbourne and Collingwood and reversed the colours for the away guernsey...also ditched that crap white patch on the back for the numbers

From the front it looks the same pretty much. At least with collingwood and nth melb there is a more noticeable difference in the home and clash strip.

actually liked the white with the number on the back but that to be honest is a memory of when i started and the numbers were on a square cloth sewed on your back
i know these jumpers look better but sometimes the memories are great

Crows jumper with the rat bird on it is shocking. Ugly bird mascot. Why would you copy the baltimore rat bird is beyond common sense.

I never liked that white patch on the back of the Hawks guernsey but I thought the fans were right on board with it.

Although the guernseys are different,they are very similar to Richmond colour wise.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Hawks forced by the leaugue to wear something different if they are the away team against them,even though white shorts would be sufficient.
