Discussion Finding your 'whale'

[Silent Alarm]

Beautiful.

Though it looks even cooler with the black shorts and socks. It's interesting and fresh without looking soft.

Was pulling some boxes out of the roof today, and came across one filled with some of dads old clothes . I delved deep into the box, bypassing t-shirts he had picked up over the years from Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach, Margaret River and then I saw it. An exact replica to what Tuck is wearing. Turns out Dad wore it to the 1983 and 84 () Grand Finals.

Just a BIT stoked right now!

Coolknot - a "whale" is not something that you can simply go online and purchase for a low price.

I want a lace up jumper. Any team

 

[Macca_]

One bad thing about going for Collingwood is that we haven't had too many 'different' jumpers over the years.

 

[LadyPants]

But that makes the odd ones, like the barcode jumper, far more exclusive than if a club always made weird jumpers.

 

[jethro11]

I'd love a collingwood v jumper.

 

[makri]

I'd love a collingwood v jumper.

This one?

Saw someone wearing a Pies lace up jumper that appeared to be a player issue on Saturday night. I'm not a big collector but I'm sure it would have left some of you guys drooling.

 

[jethro11]

This one?

That's the one

I know you probably mean one made in the era it was worn, but the Port club shop sells prison bar lace up guernseys. Absolutely awesome, I own one.

It's one of the few massive merchandise perks we have available to us under the OneClub remerger with the Port Magpies. We were never allowed to produce black and white heritage gear because Collingwood had a whinge, now we can produce whatever we like and sell it as Port Magpies merch while marketing it to everyone.

[El_Scorcho]

Got one of my Whales at half time of the Port game last night!

It's not a footy guernsey but i've been after one of these for years.

It's an XL which is going to be a bit big for me, but unless I can find someone with a medium to swap with me, i'll wear it with pride

 

[Omegaville]

That shirt was worn 1996-97 and 1997-98.
I've got the South Africa shirt in that style, from 1997-98 - the New Zealand one that year was awesome but unfortunately that got away from me... I like the shirt because it's 100% cotton, pretty rare for a cricket shirt these days.

 

[SJ]

Yeah 1996/97 and 1997/98. My favourite of all the tri-series/ODD templates. Loved the 97/98 Australia/New Zealand/South Africa kits!

Also loved how every state team and Australia A used the same template.

 

[jethro11]

Great pick up TP. Well done.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

I found my love today. Going to work so hard to get one

 

[LadyPants]

What is it?

 

[Tom Wright]

My whale for years has been a Collingwood magpies headband from the 90's - can't even find a picture of one on google.
Let me know if anyone comes across one for sale - desperate for one!

 

[Feraligatr]

Speaking of 90s headbands, I've been searching for years for both a Richmond and North Melbourne ones from the 90s.

Tom Wright; try asking on the collingwood board as well. Some one there might be able to help.

 

[Omegaville]

I've still got my Richmond one, I think it's with my bowling ball, as I used to wear it when I played league.
