Opinion Crusader vs Tri-Panel

[Fizzler]

What do all of you think? Which jumper is better?
Crusader:

Pros:
It's a lucky jumper-Got the Saints to a Grand Final
Cons:
Referred to as the "Hot Cross Bun", When it got the Saints to the Grand Final, they got thumped, It was turned yellow for a Pura promotion.
vs
The Tri-Panel

Pros:
It's been by St Kilda as early as 1923-very historical, Very recognisable as St Kilda
Cons:
Slowly, slowly, year by year, the white panel is turning into a stripe, Very plain
So what do you all think?

New away jumper > Tri-panel > Crusader.

 

[TN25]

I prefer the tri panel over the crusader jumper

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Bring back the tri panel of 2010, that looked ace.

I also would not mind having the hot cross bun back say once a season or to be able to buy.

I agree that the club should make sure the 3 colours are equal. Hate that the jumper seems to be turning into a slight variation on Essendon's.

Given that North are the only other team with a white home jumper Id be all for the club taking on the "double" tri panal clash jumper and making that our home strip.

Just need to make sure it is even though. Hate seeing the litte black trim on the sides for some players and not others.

"Hey guys, lets take the best colours in the league and the only awesome tri-panel team guernsey and lets change it for this awful committee designed piece of trash" - Some guy in 1997.

Also whilst I also love our new clash guernsey and its candybar strip ancestor the tri-panel should always remain our home guernsey.

 

[Big Mart]

I like the normal jumper, and the inverse of the normal jumper.

Didn't like the white jumper at the intra club.. Not a st kilda jumper. Just the colours

It's weird because I first started watching St Kilda in 1996-1998 (age 6-8) and for the next few years we wore the hot cross bun jumper so much that I grew to love it and associate it with the Saints. Also helped that my grandpa got me my first ever Saints jumper which was that style. Looking back I agree it's not the greatest design but I'll always have an attachment to it.

I haven't heard of this 'yellow PURA' jumper? Are you sure it was a thing? Definitely no recollection of St Kilda wearing that jumper...

Not sure if it's as bad as the yellow, but Ive got a green guernsey that the Saints wore during their trip to US in preseason!

 

[Simple Jack]

My favourite Saints jumper. Nice wide white panel and black piping on the white collar/cuffs.
That plus the new clash would do it for me.

Who could forget the yellow peril?

I've been trying desperately for 10 years but nope, still can't forget it.

 

[Highlander35]

The red trim made it 10,000 times worse, and it was already eye gougingly bad.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Candystripes> tri> new away> hot cross bun> last few years away.

Tri colour should stay our home strip forever. Agree with the white getting thinner though.

 

[kernelT]

Plain tri for me… not a fan of the hot cross bun at all, but I didn't mind the tri with yellow that we wore for a heritage round years ago.

Mind you, if we win I couldn't care less if it was in pink & lime green.

 

[Keg on legs]

I quite liked the crusader jumper in the 90's.. But then again I also liked listening to ace of base wearing my ripped jeans and hypo-colour tee shirt that you could leave fluro hand prints on (one for us children of the 70's and 80's)

So, I guess, not all was as cool as it seemed back then.

Tri-colour will never age, it's timeless

 

[66sainter]

The 2010 (or 09?) away jumper was my favourite, the one with the wide white strip down the middle and the white back.

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

I wanted this one for the NZ games

i dont like the current one.

HOME - 2015/2010
I prefer the wider white panel we are using this year, so proper thirds of colour in the front. But would much prefer the white collars used in 2010.

AWAY
2003 heritage/2004 clash/2005 away guernsey is my favourite.
The candy cane, 1886 VFA style jumper. Good mix of white for the clash, particularly the back of the jumper. No one has a jumper like it, and can't imagine us clashing with anyone apart from the Swans (revert to Home) and the Magpies (what can you do...).

That being said, I am very happy with the Away jumper for 2015 (1897 style). Unlike a lot of away/clash guernseys, this guernsey actually means something to the club, and is historic. And I'd be happy to wear this jumper to one of our home games if we desperately needed to avoid a clash. I think it is great to salute our heritage!

NZ JUMPER
Ditto CALL ME SNAKE . That design is far better.

 

[mysainters]

Yellow is my favourite colour, and I can't even like that...

 

[Persevering Saint]

Yellow is my favourite colour, and I can't even like that...

Mine too... and yep, even I hate that jersey.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

The black piping and collars make us look more deadly.
I like the current jumber best, I like that silver fern one above for the Kiwi game, and the red and black hoops was a standout a couple of years ago.

 

[sverik25]

The timeless classic wins every time.

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Yeah Tri Panel looks alright.

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

I found our new Anzac day jumper

Kiwi's reckon its the best baaaaaa none
