I’m really looking forward to Saints in the purple Crusader Against Tigers on their clash, should be a great match up.

Than Port could wear the bars and the world would be a better place.

Umpires in white shirts, black shorts and lime green socks looks shocking. Bring back their classic white shirt, white shorts, royal blue socks combo..

If they brought back this green (maybe slightly darker) they could wear the same thing every game.

The umps wore dark green last year or the year before from memory.

That green was probably too dark. The green in my post wouldn't clash with any club.

Did I miss something? I thought it was purple crusader today?

 

[Sammoll]

This is what we really shoulddd have tonight against Essendon (but obviously won’t.) It does look a lot better.

Is it actually confirmed we're wearing the purple crusader? I've got a feeling we're just wearing purple socks (maybe has to do with the same manufacturing issue that the club said prevented the yellow crusader from being sold as a retail): https://www.saints.com.au/news/704012/saints-lock-in-maddie-s-match

I messaged St Kilda on Twitter and they said the club won't be wearing the purple hot cross bun this week because of production issues with the player issue guernseys due to COVID-19 (they'll be wearing purple socks instead). The jumpers the players trained in during the week were the retail version.

Edit - This would mean that this weekend is the first time St Kilda has played in it's regular red, white and black home jumper against Richmond's current clash jumper. The yellow jumper was introduced in 2015, but this was the same year Maddie's Match started (in 2016 it was played against the Western Bulldogs, and Richmond and St Kilda played a Tigers home game at the MCG and we wore Candy Stripe no. 2).

They couldn’t stick numbers on retails?
Retails aren’t that flimsy, are they?

They are trapped on the other side of the world due to Covid they say

The socks aren't, hence they're kinda focal.

Sorry I misread the conversation

They wouldn't have a pouch for the GPS tracker

There is a much better visual distinction. But when it comes to Big 4 games, tradition is more important than aesthetics.
