Hooped Socks?

[Canary]

Looks like we stole Essendon's socks.

Agreed. We are the original red legs not them. They can wear pink though if they want.

Didn't look great IMO. Hopefully it was only because the Gold Coast have red socks too.

This is a travesty of the highest order.

Should have been blue socks.

Should have been blue socks.

I second this

I thought I was going crazy. I had a moment when I was like 'maybe we've always just wore hooped socks, and I've never noticed?'

I didn't mind them, actually.

Thought they looked good, personally.

 

[Gazza_11]

Loved 'em. Where can I buy a pair for hockey training?

I enjoyed the fact that they made the effort to include the MCC monogram, among other details... would have been easy to just do red and blue stripes purely for a once-a-year thing. And I enjoyed the socks themselves, as much as socks can be enjoyed anyway.

Thought we should have worn white shorts and blue socks (very rare these socks but I remember a game around 1998 when we wore them...may have even been a practice match).

From Twitter:

CamSchwab "Few comments on the Where's Wally socks we wore yesterday. Don't worry, we will always be the Redlegs. They will be rarely seen."

DemonsHQ "We have had a few questions about yesterday's hooped socks. The only time we have to wear these is for away games against GC."

So once or twice a year depending on how many times we play GC, lol.
Either way, I didn't mind em after a while. Although I do admit at first I was like... wtf? xD
