RICHMOND will accept the AFL's decision that will see the Tigers wear their predominantly yellow clash guernsey in next week's Grand Final against Adelaide.

AFL football operations boss Andrew Dillon said the Crows would wear their home guernsey in the match as the highest-ranked team participating in the Grand Final.

"The AFL legislates that the home team has the right during the home and away season, and it was the view here that with a clash, the AFL had previously made the decision for the higher-ranked team to have its choice," Dillon said.

Speaking to ABC Radio on Saturday before she was made aware of the official decision, Richmond president Peggy O'Neal said her club wouldn't put up a fight over the issue.

"We'd all like to be in our traditional jumpers but the AFL decides those things. It's not us, and we'll play our best game in whatever colour we happen to be in," O'Neal said.

"I'm sure they'll make a decision on that pretty soon. I know what we'd all prefer but if that doesn't go our way, we'll do what we have to do."

Gun defender Nick Vlastuin wasn't concerned when he spoke to Channel Seven on Sunday.

"I don't mind either way. So long as we get to play," Vlastuin said.

Tigers legend Kevin Bartlett was quick to register his opposition, tweeting: "Richmond should and must tell the AFL to get stuffed and it will not wear its clash jumper against Adelaide. The club must not roll over."

Asked whether the AFL's decision was disappointing, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick made it clear he had bigger Crows to stone.

"We'd play in a hessian bag to be perfectly honest. I stole that from (Richmond property steward) Giuseppe Mamone, so make sure you put his name in there," Hardwick joked.
