Official Club Stuff Introducing Yartapuulti Football Club

Then the Saints go back to the colours of the Nazi party flag the week after lol

St Kilda was named by a drunk bureaucrat after the name of the boat the St Kilda, that was moored just off St Kilda.
The boat was named after the islands of St Kilda, which were never really St Kilda but were called Skildir (Norse:shield) that the dutch mistook as Skildar and then the english misinterpreted as S.Kilda and then St Kilda.

So St Kilda exists out of a drunken brain fart based on numerous linguistic misinterpretations of a viking invasion of North Scotland.
You could almost say it was some cunning linguistic powerplay.

I think I just became a fan of St Kilda.

 

[1954]

The boomer v later generations bun fight will obviously go on ad infinitum.

As a boomer myself and having a son born in the 1990's I feel reasonably qualified to comment on the differences in the `rules' for the different eras I have lived through.

1. if you were a young bloke in the 1950's, 60's and 70's, and it was apparently the same in my father and his father's generation before him, that what would be considered today as probably mild abuse to a police officer could result in said young bloke getting a serious smacking from that police officer and/or his colleagues, which lead to the term `wallopers!'

There was a physical size requirement in both height and chest measurement for police officers in those eras, if an officer or his colleagues were required to go into a pub to sort out trouble makers they were usually very capable of doing just that, there were none of these 5' 6'' 65 keg public servant jockey types (of both genders) who appeared about 25 years back that we now see in known hot spots like Hindley street, and whose modus operandi can be to look the other way at the first sign of trouble.


2. corporal punishment (the cane) was a not unregular occurrence in primary school for boys as young as 6 or 7, and there were some very sadistic campaigners in the teaching fraternity who were very happy to partake in that punishment.

3. don't give up your seat on public transport to a woman, or in a situation that I witnessed in the very early 1960's a pregnant woman, and there was a very strong chance a bloke your father's age or older would `assist' you out of that seat.
On that particular occasion on Brighton rd a young bloke of about 13 or 14 was escorted to the door of the bus and asked to exit by the driver, who then drove off.
Nowadays the bloke who did the escorting would be charged with assault (and there was no violence involved apart from a hand on the shoulder), and the bus driver would be sacked.

4. National Service
any male boomer who turned 20 years of age from about 1963 to the early 1970's was automatically eligible for National Service, which was a lottery based on birth dates and usually resulted in a trip to Vietnam which for a number of nashos was unfortunately a one way trip ( eg the first nasho killed in Vietnam was a South Aussie), and then many of those who made it home were often abused by `student' types, particularly in the bigger cities of Sydney and Melbourne.

The upshot of generational differences is my boyhood and teen years in the 1950's and 60's would be have been viewed as an absolute doddle by my paternal grandfather's generation, eg he had to get up at 4.00 am to help milk the cows before breakfast followed by a 4 mile walk to school.
Same bloke was in the Australian Light Horse and should have ridden in what has been described as the last great cavalry charge in history ( the taking of a very valuable water source from the Turks and Germans at Beersheba (in what was then Palestine) after a hazardous 2 to 3 day trip across the desert to get close enough to charge ) but a bad infection from a mosquito bite in Egypt put the kybosh on that, and for years after the event he still felt he had let his mates down.

As suggested by others it's a generational thing, if he came back today (he passed away in 1963) Aussies of his generation would almost certainly see modern society from the baby boomer generation onwards as having very soft and comfortable lives.

Swings and roundabouts as the old saying goes!

 

[Interstater]

2% of people have voted that we have the best Indigenous Round jumper so far.
Not bad seeing we have not seen it yet

I assume we are waiting on Eddie's approval.

 

[GremioPower]

Then the Saints go back to the colours of the Nazi party flag the week after lol

Those were already the German colours before the Nazis.

 

[GremioPower]

I haven’t made this joke but to a few Brazilian friends, but Yartapuulti sounds awfully close to “filho da puta” (“son of a bitch”).

Filho da Puta was also a famous racing horse in Britain:

Quite correct.

 

[raptalia]

Go for it Gremio.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

That's the best indigenous guernsey we have done and maybe the best I have seen. Outstanding

 

[Sims01]

Yartapuulti unveils 2023 AFL Indigenous guernsey

 

[Pappagallo]

Very nice. Right up there with the one Krakouer designed a few years ago.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Pretty great

 

[bomberclifford]

meh

 

[Adz2332]

I really like this one.
I'm glad we stay away from the generic / clicha dot painting

 

[Pappagallo]

Ya reckon West Coast will crack the sads because we put an eagle on it? Nah, probably not.

 

[HighBudget]

Defs the best Port have had, Love it!

 

[bomberclifford]

I must be missing something that you lot are seeing.
I'm only going by memory but I reckon we've had at least three or four much better than this one.

The eagle head feels a little too cartoon-like rather than a representation of indigenous design.

 

[Mr39]

Pretty good. Would look better without the white number panel.

 

[El_Scorcho]

On first glance I thought they'd done a magpie and I was like phwooooaaaarrrrr but with an eagle it's just fine. Perfectly cromulent, one of our better ones.

I think the only ones clearly better than it are Krakouer's 2017 mostly black effort, and the design theft debacle one that is tainted forever because it's ultimately meaningless.

We haven't really ever knocked one out of the park like a few other clubs have.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Nice! I'll def pick up the hoodie.

Last years by Lachie Jones was close to the best one we've done.


Edit:

 

[Waspy79]

Why would we put an Eagle on it when it could be a Magpie? Seems a strange decision but presumably a story behind it

 

[backtozero]

I think the hoodie looks much better than the guernsey.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Best gurnsey we’ve had so far

 

[Interstater]

I'd be happy with us wearing it for the rest of the year.
Absolutely love it.

That plagiarised one was so good because it had the top black square yoke as in the prison bars. That in combination with the number panel looks great and looks very Port Adelaide, I wish that the home guernsey captured that in the same way rather than the generic V option.
