Primal Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I predict a red jumper for the Dons. heh, could simply be a reversed version of the regular shirt or it could be something we'd never expect. it could kick ass and stick around There is nothing preventing Essendon from starting what will become a new tradition with its clash jumper. Essendon fans of the year 2056 could easily look back and say we've only had two jumpers in the club's entire history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 point taken...all the current traditions were newfangled ideas at one time, after all. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieboy82 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Actually, the precedent was actually set in 1925.North Melbourne were admitted to the then VFL under a few conditions.One of them was that they were to either wear a different jumper to their Navy with White monogram version they had in 1924, or they were to provide an alternative for games against Carlton.The opted for a Royal Blue jumper with a White Vee. rmereddo you have a pic of that jumper that the kangaroos wore in 1924?thanks so long and thanks for all the fish.

Discrim Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 heh, so basically they looked like Carlton. interesting. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 heh, so basically they looked like Carlton. interesting. Well, they have a history.They were originally Royal Blue.But they merged with West Melbourne who wore Black.The first season they wore West jumpers and carried North's name.This didn't sit well with the fans.So they adopted Navy as an alternative to both.And yes, they looked like Carlton until the league made their change a condition of their entry to the competition.

rmered Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 North Melbourne jumper worn 1922 to 1924.From 1914 to 1921 they just wore a Navy Blue jumper. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphabet Man Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 THe move doesnt worry me aslong as they make Collingwood change as well. I don't care about Essendon, their jumper is in their constitiution so that a bit of a thign to sort out. Collingwood a few years ago paid us to wear our Heritage/Clash/Away strip in our home game agaisnt them, and obviously they created the clash by changing their jumper in 2000 or 2001.Rob, does that mean EFC members vote on the new clash jumper as its a chagne to constitution? twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Well they have to work out what they're going to change the constitution TO, first... Geelong is in a similar situation. AFL licence trumps constitution, but that's not sufficient grounds to allow the club to act unilaterally.And one article from The Age suggested that the AFL wasn't going to approve any clash strip that had hoops or stripes...

I think Geelong's constitution requires jumper changes to be approved by a special majority of members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Age must be incorrect.Collingwood's Clash jumper for 2006 is White with Black stripes and a White number panel on the back.(The same as they wore from 1987 to 2000.)

That's what made me wonder...why would the league get Collingwood to commit to black on white before deciding that it was NBG for everyone else?
