Can't say I'm happy about it. Don't see the problem with our normal jumper with a bit more yellow - has the tradition. As someone else said, we will probably have to wear this one more often. If we end up holding up our next cup wearing this crap, it won't feel like a Richmond premiership as I had imagined it for 30 odd years.
when spain won the world cup in 2010 they had to wear their clash strip in the final, but they put on their home shirts during the presentation ceremony. i can't see why we wouldn't be able to do that as well.
personally i can live with it as long as it looks classy - not tacky (unlike that essendon monstrosity). after the issues of the west coast away game and the port adelaide final, its clear that our current clash jumper is not suitable in the eyes of the AFL (well, more really the eyes of TV, but they do pay the bills i guess).
i would still argue that wearing yellow shorts in away games where our kit clashes with other teams is the real solution to this, but for whatever reason its not being considered.
