Nothing beats the royal blue with wings for iconic Premiership success (x4) but The Ochre is a work of art. It will forever be ahead of its time, with its amazing design of incorporating the fat, ‘fighting’ eagle from the tripanel home guernsey with the land mass of WA and the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. A true literal representation of a west coast eagle.
It was the guernsey that stoked the fire in me to collect guernseys when I first saw a photo of it in The West Australian in October 1999 and it marked the first player issue I ever bought in early 2003 (for $70, there was a whole rack of them for sale in the team store).
It could possibly be improved by having the left side (when wearing) change into a gold gradient and extend around onto the back (instead of abruptly turning fluoro red) then drop the fluoro blue and have the back be two-thirds navy.
