[TheDoctor11]

Oh you Port fans here are going to love this...

Crows jumper for the first game at Adelaide Oval, against Port.

Looks nice.

I really like that! I wish they could keep it as a permanent away strip, it's easily the best Crows jumper I've ever seen, bar the home one!

 

[TheDoctor11]

What's with the names on the jumper?

Member's names.

It's not that hard to be one of the best Crows jumpers, especially with the way the clashes are going, and the historical representation this one has.

What the hell.

Hope the Cats can run out in this:

ABSOLUTELY STOKED. NOW PORT SHOULD WEAR THEIR MAGPIES JUMPER.

Looks nice.

Yes in State of Origin

No it shouldnt. The jumper is for the South Australian Origin team and only players good enough to represent the state at what ever level should have the honour of wearing.

The cows dont deserve to call this their jumper. No one in their team has ever represented the state at AFL level. One or two may have at State League Rep level (dont know, cant be bothered looking). They are a franchise that represent part of a state not a state team.

Not to mention out of their best 5 or 6 players only 1 actually is from SA

 

[Smartys Power]

Tredders right on the money here...

 

[Jack Stevens]

As a Victorian, I refuse to say I like that jumper.

GANTY's right, this shouldn't be an Adelaide Crows jumper.

Does look nice though...

 

[just_kick_it]

Yep Tredders is on the money. To further expand on his point about the Big V, lets say on ANZAC Day 2014 (arguably the biggest game other then the GF) Collingwood run out in the Big V. How would you Vics feel about that.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Weren't the Adelaide Crows were established as a joint venture between all SANFL clubs to foil Port's AFL bid? If that's the case I believe the jumper is appropriate.

 

[Groupie_]

South Australia vs Port Adelaide

 

[Dylan8]

Absolutely disgusting. What a desperate attempt to steal the history of the another team because they have none.

That jumper represents all of South Australia, INCLUDING Port Adelaide.

 

[just_kick_it]

Nigel Smart (Cows Chief of Ops) was just on Triple M. Hes ******* delusional. "State of Origin hasnt been played since 1999" "My kids have no memories of SoO" "SoO is never coming back to the AFL" "I played for SA, occasionally I get my jumpers out from the box under the bed and dust em off" So you think its OK to disrespect and bring down the standing of the SA jumper because it hasnt been played at the top level in 15 years? EJ Whitten passed away in 1995 so is it OK to disrespect him? No I didnt think so!!

Or West Coast running out to face a Fremantle who are kitted out in the Yellow with a Black yoke and a Black swan...

 

[Dylan8]

Smart could not be a more ironic last name.

What's going to be strange is the number of Vics playing in a SA SoO guernsey. It cheapens the guernsey and goes against everything it stands for - state unity, instead it will just create a divide.

or this.

Wait. Is this whole paragraph about what Nigel Smart said? I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Groupie_]

It was wrong when West Coast did it and it's wrong now

Adelaide are idiots

 

[Smartys Power]

Smart could not be a more ironic last name.

Only for some.

 

[Groupie_]

Can't wait to see Richmond wear this

 

[E92_]

I'd understand if it was a permanent thing but it's not, it will most likely only be worn once. Mountains out of molehills etc.

 

[just_kick_it]

Ahh well nothing we can do about it is there? Im tipping Port by 10-12 goals to open up the Showdown account at Adelaide Oval.

 

[Oneiros]

Wow, what happened, did Adelaide undertake a three-month workshop with Satan and Beelzebub with the aim of figuring out how best to piss off Port Adelaide? Cause this must be pretty far up there.

I know if we had to face a team playing in the West Australian state guernsey I'd pitch a fit!
