I have a 'bee in my bonnet' about alternate jumpers at the moment

An Epic Clash (18/4/07)

Dear Jim
What is the use of the AFL insisting clubs have an alternate jumper if the clubs are not going to wear them? I would have thought the Essendon-Carlton match was one in which one of the teams should have worn an alternative jumper. In this case Essendon was the away team, so why wasn’t it in something different? Essendon keep fighting the issue, so it is time for the AFL to grow a spine.

Jim Main Says:
I didn’t have many difficulties following the Essendon-Carlton game, but it would have been much better if the Bombers had worn an alternate jumper. Anyone would think the AFL was asking the Bombers and the Magpies to wear pink with purple spots.
