Doesn't a yellow and black jumper pre-date being called 'The Tigers'? Someone here will know the history.

At first the team wore blue guernseys and caps with yellow and black stripes in the style of the Richmond Cricket Club. The football club soon adopted yellow and black as its official colours. From the 1890s the supporters and players were often referred to as "Richmondites"[11] and, according to The Age in 1890,[12] The Leader in 1899 [13] and former club secretary William Maybury[14] the team were occasionally called "Wasps." The moniker by which they are now known, the "Tigers", was first adopted around 1908–10 period through the newspapers Punch[15] and The Richmond Guardian.[16]
I’m gunna email Laura about the reintroduction of caps! I think it’s what the modern game is missing.
No need to ever try and match the colours to the mascott.
Pretty sure swans aren't red, cats and kangaroos aren't blue, anchors aren't purple, maggots aren't green, bombers aren't red, eagles aren't yellow, crows famously aren't any of their colours.
Gotta hand it to Carlton though. A blue is blue.

True. A few college teams in the US are nicknamed Tigers but totally different colours.
In your email include the suggestion that the captains decide on the free kicks like in the past. We might get a fair go then
If they can't decide they could arm-wrestle for it, Nank would get at least 8 out of 10
I think they should also decide the placement of the goal posts like the original rules state.
Our original (2014) VFL strip def looked more yellow than the previous gold/ orange

I also love the recent yellow and our 2017 grand final & premiership jumper.
My issue is how we have now put the white numbers (with the sash) on the yellow back. White on yellow doesn’t work.
The colours are fine the way they are, even the flouro yellow. It's the stuff up with the white numbers and the black stripe on the back that looks terrible.
It works fine with the home jumper (although I would still like the number to be yellow on plain black as with the additional TWO bloody sponsors on the back, it's all too busy) but it just looks like a shemozzle with a yellow away jumper with a black rear stripe and white numbers. It actually hurts your eyes.
For the away jumper just go back to having the black stripe on yellow at the front and black numbers on yellow with no stripe on the back. It looked good and it's the jumper we broke the drought in, in 2017. I love it as an away jumper and it's very identifiable.

I always thought the black and red for the bombers came out of the war-time images of bombing raids at night and the red represented the fires caused by the exploding bombs. Could be wrong though. Around our place the crows are black and there is black on the Crows jumper isn't there?
