the board and our guernsey.

Post: # 470072Post karnak »

first thing for the board to do in my opinion is outlaw the clash guernsey and give us something we like,


sorry if this has already been talked about.

Yes please...bring back my jumper....


I see this question that I added to N1cks list was asked and gained a favourable resposse.

So I expect we will see our clash strip having much more of a Saints feel to it..

Was very encouraged by their response here...think we need to forward some of the designs proposed by armooo etc.

The predominately white jumper is not necessary and not reflective of our proud tri colour history...

would even like to see the heritage come back or the hot cross bun...

we are Red,White and Black!!!!!!And don't you fortget it!!!Its a branding power thiing ...basic marketing that the new board seem to recognise...halaleliah!!! :twisted:

St Kilda played Geelong in a heritage round 2 years ago where we wore our 1960's jumper.

It was basically what it is today except it had a white back. This is what Collingwood has done, just change the back to white. This is what we should do, have the tri-colours in the front but have a white back.

Yeah - common sense needs to prevail - I don't know this for a fact but it is my guess it's our staff getting lampooned by slick public relations consultants experimenting with our club on graphics and styles. We have to cater for everyone I know, but I hope the new board insist that the traditionalists have some say too - and there are plenty of us around. I too like the heritage stripes and we used to win a lot of games in them too. :wink:

Its a bit like the 'believe or burn' slogan - apparently decided by vote at a breakfast function and its my guess half of the voters wouldn't know more than a dozen players names and numbers - and that very few, if any, intended to put a sticker on their car anyway.

Agree 100% :wink:

I would still also like to bring back the candy striped heritage jumper that we wore for three years

the players loved it and if the AFL has got an issue with it, just tell them to shove it

Im am pretty sure that this year's clash jumper will be the same as it was a 2 year deal. No chance of it changing from memory.

Maybe 2009 design will be much better though

Technically the striped one is our original jumper. Didn't we wear that one in 1897?

the deal would be done I assume with the whoever makes the jumpers to supply us for two years with that jumper.

club would have signed off on it.

not certain but i would be extremely confident that we will be wearing the acid wash look again this year

Did not stop the Pes.

GW needs to get the AFL to explain why the Pies can have vertical stripes......and not take s***.....and demand that we have the same right.






Though has other have said in past strings...we could have our tri-color and just change the back to red or white.

Was looking on the net for some info on this the other day. I thought that our original jumper was red, yellow and black tri-colour. Does anybody know and even better have a link to a site with a graphic of it?

http://www.bomberblitz.com/~rmered/stkildahome.htm (part of www.footyjumpers.com )

Anyway, the yellow jumper came in during WWI, because red white and black were the color of the german luftwaffe (i believe).

Anyway, 1915-1922 we had yellow, and have been red black and white every other year, bar the yellow peril (pura milk thing), and heritage round 2005.

This was discussed by the club at the time they introduced it when some people complained about the design. Jumper designs came from AFL , and the AFL require it stay the same for 2 years
