Announcement
Old staple to be brought back in round five.
Yep, they’re back.
Essendon will accompany its ‘black on red’ clash jumper with the Club’s classic red shorts for Saturday’s Gather Round clash with Melbourne.
A former staple of the kit until the early 1980’s, this weekend marks the first time the Bombers have worn red shorts in an official home-and-away game since 2011, where it was used for select away fixtures.
See the new (or old-school) look in action from 1:15pm AEST on Saturday when the Bombers face off with the Dees at Adelaide Oval.
