My point is, I don't expect Collingwood to adopt a white based home jumper and be forced to wear white shorts.

Read my post, it’s Collingwoods choice, I just think the white based with black shorts looks better than the Adidas logo jumper.
My last one here. Is it Collingwood's choice, or does AFL enforce white shorts rule. It can't be both.

The onus is on the away side to avoid a clash. Home team should not have to compromise unless the clash is completely unavoidable, however in 2024 there’s no excuse for jumper clashes apart from the big Vic clubs being exempt for their precious traditional matchups.
Collingwood, to their credit, seem to be the best at wheeling out their clash strip when it’s needed.
With jumpers yes... with shorts no.
Teams should never where white shorts against a "home" side with a white jumper (Cats, Roos, Sydney, Pies(traditional) ).
IF a team needs to wear white shorts, it should be whichever team has the white jumper, home or away.
But often you could get away with neither team wearing white shorts
If a team wears a white top, but dark shorts - which one should they not clash with ?
If your shorts don't match the jumper, only the jumper should be fixed (be prepared to wear white shorts at home if thats your jumper)

That’s probably the one compromise I can agree with. I can’t stand the archaic white shorts rules.

St Kilda really should wear red against Port. Where's that stickman jumper?
(even just the red shorts would improve things!)

Dixon with iron on numbers. Seems to happen a lot at Port.

Yeah I feel like that’s the thing with a lot of away teams versing Port. As much as I love the iconic aesthetic of Port’s large white number panel and the uniqueness of it, if we’re strictly looking at just backs of guernseys in-game, it sometimes produces a minor clash where the away team is in a white kit (more specifically, away team having black numbers on a white background).
But I think it’s probably not so bad that it needs to be rectified and I definitely wouldn’t want to se Port go back to no number panel.
On another side note though it’s sort of why I like Port wearing their home guernsey with white shorts in some away games (e.g. vs Crows, Bulldogs, Dees) in that it provides more than enough white to create perfectly good contrast.

I think we can safely conclude that the AFL has learned nothing from the AFLW's success with dropping the white shorts rule.
Does anyone know who makes these decisions?

Lol, they can't even get North to wear white shorts in home games so unlikely.

Tell that to North.
I would imagine it is the latter and some junior staffer signs off.

Is there something different about the dogs clash jumper this year?

Nope. It's still rubbish.

That is honestly the best avenue they could go down at this point.
