Red backs

[Adelaide Hawk]

Can one of you Swans fans out there help me? I would like to know which season the Swans changed their jumper from a white back with red numbers to a red back with white numbers.

Paul Kelly made his debut in 1990, and I'm almost certain I've seen a picture of him somewhere wearing the jumper with the white back.

The book "flying north for the winter" has a whole bunch of players from 1990 wearing the white back and a whole bunch of players from 1991 wearing the red back. So sometime in that period

Of course, all this is second hand to me, someone who was a supporter in the early 90s can probably supply more info...

We changed to Red Backs in 1992

I thought 93 - but I'd back Robbie's judgement on this one
even if his definition of a 'long walk' is slightly flawed
