A few days ago, I released an article on NRL jerseys. I have decided to continue this. Next in the jersey series comes the AFL.

Like last time, I will be revealing my picks in all four of the topics of the best, the worst, the most creative and the most original. You will get the chance to vote yourself below (in all the topics mentioned above), which the results will be revealed in an upcoming article.

Scroll down to see what I’ve chosen.

Best jersey: Adelaide Crows clash

Similar to what I said about the Panthers’ Alternate jersey in my previous article, I like it simply because of how clean it is, again ‘spicing’ it up with a three-colour combination.

Worst jersey: Essendon Bombers clash

I see what the Bombers were trying to do here; however, they just didn’t fully execute it correctly. For me, either get rid of the black line completely or just get rid of the shadow.

Most original jersey: Richmond Tigers home

Simplicity plus age equals originality. This is exactly what’s happening here. Nothing more has to be said – it’s just a classic.

Most creative jersey: Essendon Bombers ‘Dreamtime’

Another one from Essendon. This time though, they are recognised for a good jersey, rather than a bad one. They have successfully embedded Indigenous patterns and drawings with the design and colours of Essendon.
