I don't know if it holds any water, but the guy next to me (Freo supporter, but a nice bloke) believed that the Freo players had trouble seeing it against the background and light green of the grass.

I'will say that the number of interceptions we had, it did look like sometimes we came out of nowhere.

I know, sounds like tosh, but it is a fact some colour are more easily identifiable than others.

Other than that, I HATE IT!

Would be just as hard for us to pick it up then? So we'd have trouble picking out teammates.

I don't want to sound cynical but given the widespread loathing of this jumper (although there appears that its gaining favour slowly) are the club sticking with it just because they brought it in last year and need to keep it for a certain period of time for marketing purposes?

By that I mean, do people think the club will have a timetable for away strip changing based on projected sales.

I'm getting used to it; and didn't notice it at all last night.

Because their kit was very CFC in colour; the pale blue really stood out for our players.

None of that bugs me as much as McGuire saying their ''clash'' jumper is white stripes on a black jumper instead of black stripes on a white jumper.....that the AFL cop that makes me sick.

one jumper is predominantly black and the other is predominantly white - a VERY clear and VERY well done contrast that preserves their traditional colors and design

for us to incorporate a 3rd color is commercialisation of the highest order
