It just should never be the State guernsey!!
That guernsey was originally in effect a reward to the elite playing in the SANFL competition for their performances in that year. With no disrespect to Nathan Bock he and several others in our side would never have earned such a guernsey at this stage of his career.
Later on it virtually became a reward to the best South Australian footballers irrespective of which team or State they were playing in, when the selection basis became State of Origin.
How the hell then does the State guernsey relate to the Crows?? It doesn't of course, and neither should it have to either. IMO it would be an insult to those past players who earned the right to wear that jumper if the Crows were to wear that as their heritage guernsey.
1991 is when the Adelaide Crows played their first game, and that is the guernsey which should be our heritage guernsey. That and no other!!
