RIP - Ye olde long sleeve guernsey
It seems they have well and truly been phased out of the contemporary game. They're obviously impractical for players in that sleeves are an excess part of the garment which can be grabbed hold of in the situation where a player is tackled.
From a fan's perspective, I think it's a bit of shame that you can't purcahase one, as the sleeves add some warmth for a spectator on the cold winter days at the footy.
Anyway, someone put up a Trevor Barker thread which had a youtube link of where it had Barks wearing an old Saints long sleeve with the red cuffs. I, for one, would like it if the club brought them back for the fans.
Also, who were some of the players who liked to done the long sleeves regularly?
Milney was one early on in his career. I seem to recall Criag Devonport wearing them often. Didn't Jeff Dunne always wear one back in the day as well?

haha Did Frank Carbone actually wear the long sleeve regularly? I can't remember.Dr Spaceman wrote:Yes.meher baba wrote:Is it due to global warming?
That's what's lead to the (Frank) Carbone Tax
Pretty sure Robbie Elphinstone wore it a few times.

I remember Schneids and Jack Stevens(I think - or was it Milney) wearing the long sleeves against Geelong last year. I have a 2009 one - love it- more comfortable than having to buy a standard jersey a size or 2 bigger so it can be worn over a hoodie
I can't believe Eddie McGuire and I have the Celtic Football Club in common...he should be a Hun

Nick WInmar occasionally starts in a Zebras long sleeve + but later in games goes to one jumper.

Said Juliar Gillard - "I would be playing for the Bulldogs at full forward but out of respect to the Muslim community I would need to play in a long sleeve jumper, so I declined the opportunity to be drafted by them".
