This was brought to my attention by an anonymous post on the feedback link, but did anyone see a picture from the Box Hill v Werribee game? Looked like a terrible clash of colours and must have made for some difficulty in following the play. In the North Ballarat / Geelong game, the umpires took the unusual step in umpiring in a fluro orange colour. Perhaps saturdays game should have seen Box Hill playing in their heritage guernsy, while Werribee played in their predominantly yellow jumper? What happens when Frankston plays the Rooster? Am I right in thinking both clubs do have a mainly white alternative?

Yeah Frankston has an alternative that is mainly white like the roosters, where the home jumpers of both clubs are mainly black. So when the teams play, one just wears their alternative jumper.

It was an absolute nightmare at City Oval on Saturday ons. Even the socks are so alike , you could really only go by shorts which is hardly the first thing you look for is it. Perhaps Box Hill in their alt strip ( predominantly yellow and white jumper) and Werribee in their normal jumper ( predominantly black) would have been a better alternative. I know it's the away team that normally changes but it just seemed crazy on Saturday.

Wasn't Box Hill going to unveil a silver jumper this year? Sure I read something about it early in the season. That would would have done the job.

Onslaught, the Box Hill Hawks' silver alternative jumper will make it's debut in the Round 15 away game at Sandringham (co-incedentally an ABC game :wink: ). It's actually being produced as we speak. This will be the jumper worn by the Box Hill Hawks for all future away games at Sandy and Werribee, however keeping last weekend's game in mind I guess home games against Werribee will still have to be looked at, as Ric mentioned I'm not sure if our home jumper can work with either of Werribee's current alternatives.
