Why don't Sydney ever wear white shorts?

[Footy_Fan2007]

Not sure if this has been asked before? Is there a reason why they never wear away shorts? Every other team does except them.

Because nobody else has shorts that clash with pink shorts.

 

[rippersnipper]

They wear full clash when they play the suns away generally

Because white shorts away is a silly rule that more teams should ask to be exempt from.

Sydney is a very fashion conscious city, and they understand that white shorts, like white belts, are passé.

Way back, there was a specific policy that saw both Hawthorn and Sydney exempt from white shorts, the only two teams this applied too. Hawks, not sure why, looked ok. Sydney - because they directly clashed with umpires...!

Afl favoritism.

Because the old policy of white away shorts doesn't exist.

Looks weird and wrong.

Are Gold Coast and Brisbane the only teams we wear that against? I find myself unable to remember?

Because they end up looking like St George Illawarra Dragons.

Edited - could not resist.

 

[MF]

Yeah basically because the AFL let us do whatever we want. We could wear your dads shorts if we wanted to.

The real question is why people care so much about it.

Same reason Horks always wear brown shorts, if you know what I mean.

I couldn't recall what colour short we wear against any team nor care.

Why do they persist with the opera house outline in the yoke is a better question.... nancy enough uniform without it.

Judging by your username, you'd prefer a vomitorium?

How true! Never thought of this before.

 

[FootyJunkie]

the white in the jumper blends too much with the white shorts, as shown in the clash strip above, it's a weird look

Can't stand the stuff myself. If I have to drink it, I heavily dilute it with rum. Only way I can hold it down.
