I have a gripe regarding jerseys.
Whats the point in forcing everyone to have alternate jerseys if we allow clubs to choose jerseys that have a reasonable clash?
Case in point is Saturday night, and the Eels and Knights play:
Im not saying it was impossible to tell them apart...but it was hard enough. It wasn't aesthetically pleasing viewing as there were 26 pairs of blue shorts on the field, 13 blue jerseys and 13 half blue jerseys. I know the home team has the right to pick what they'll wear, and the away team just has to pick the shirt that clashes the least...but how much better did the game at the start of the year look?
Bold, bright contrasting colours.
Its not the biggest issue in the game, but I just don't get it. If both clubs have jerseys that would really set them apart, lets use them, yeah? Parramatta are probably the biggest offenders, as they choose to wear their blue kit against the knights and bulldogs. Sharks vs Titans are another problem, with both Titans jerseys being similar to the Sharks jersey.
Last years Grand Final was another one where it could have been better.There was no clash like the above games, and again, I respect the right of Manly to choose their preferred jersey, but the contrast between Manly in white and Warriors in black would have been much better than maroon and white vs white.
