ah its the navy kit, my bad don't hate it but the Ocarhe was the better option, clearly rigged
Navy isn’t going to solve any clashes, when they already have a yellow strip.

More to the point, how come we didn't band together like we did with the Crows clash jumper a few years ago?

Navy one looks far superior. I thought the Ochre guernsey was considered the worst guernsey designs ever until recently for some reason. Nostalgia or contrarianism perhaps?

Rather navy as a clash over the gold clash.

Hot take here, I think the Eagles had the right idea when they moved to navy from royal blue. The problem is they botched the designs when they did it - both tripanels were far inferior to the wings, and the navy wings are nice but it'd look a lot nicer in the same arrangement as the original home jumper. The OG wings (either colourway) and the current wings are the best home jumpers the eagles have had but if they were navy that extra contrast would be elite. But even more importantly, the off field merch would look so much better in navy than royal it's not even funny.

I reckon there's a fair bit of truth to this, West Coast always feel very corporate and safe. Frankly surprised we're getting any retro jumper at all

Gold looks terrible as the base colour, navy is a stronger base colour. I would like to see a variation of the current Eagle logo with a navy base used as the alternative uniform.

It's good as an alternative clash colour like they wore in the mid to late 90's, but I prefer royal blue as the home and main guernsey.

Wearing the colour gold with a gold Eagle is better than wearing navy with a gold Eagle? Surprised that's a controversial take, Hawthorn I thought were considered to have a bad uniform because they wear a gold coloured uniform.
Disagree, I’d even like to see West Coast wear the gold jumper with blue shorts for one home game a year.
But the navy wings should be in their set in some capacity (royal, gold and navy), I don’t know what purpose it would serve but it looks good.

It looks better with blue shorts, and they should change the Eagle to be royal blue on the gold clash uniform. But with white shorts, I would prefer a navy base uniform, similar to Melbourne's primary blue clash/navy home uniforms.
Surprised people hate this.
And prefer this.

I use to see that uniform on a lot of "worst guernseys ever" lists, so I'm not sure why people think it was a shoe in to win. It'd be like expecting the Power Rangers Hawthorn guernsey to win a popular vote against other uniforms.

That's why I used Melbourne as an example, who only wear 2 variants of blue for both their home and clash uniforms.
Realistically Melbourne should have a third red kit because the royal blue still clashes at times or at least isn’t the best possible look
