Why do the umpires wear a high vis yellow type color when the Eagles play ? Must be very confusing for players . Crazy IMO.

Finally, a good question.
Agreed, it was a delight seeing umpires wear white the other night in the AFL.

With the modern game the Eagles definately have an advantage when the umps wear the same colour as areas you're looking at seem to have more opposition players.

Only fair way to combat this would be to play at least one extra player.

The Eagles wearing the same colour as the Eagles is very appropriate.

Even the same colours as the umpires...

Or you just miss the point at times ?

We just need statements on posts now and not one liners that have no substance or relevance. LOL

Just wear green, doesn’t clash with anyone - simple.
