Howdy,
As many people on the FJGD Board know, I have a crazy (perhaps even unhealthy) obsession with the away jumper Collingwood wore between 2002 and 2004, more commonly known as the Swooping Magpie.
This jumper means so much to myself and many other supporters, it was a time when Collingwood were one of the best teams going around and is associated with some iconic Magpie moments, which will be linked to for your enjoyment. The famous jumper is however very rare to get these days and I wish I was obsessed with it then as I was now.
Which is why I am starting what some would call a campaign to return this awesome jumper in some shape or fashion, whether that be a training jumper, one-off jumper or just in some form of merchandise.
I don't desire to replace our current kit with the design but to have the swooping magpie, a symbol of Collingwood dominance, return to the Collingwood merchandise in some way. A recreation of the jumper would be nice though.
I have created a petition for supporters of this idea to sign in the hopes to present it to someone who can meaningful assist in our cause.
I have also created a Facebook group to celebrate the legacy of the jumper and to also update on progress.
With that said and done, support this cause or not, enjoy some of these iconic moments which involve the Swooping Magpie.
There is more information on the petition so please read it if you have the time.
Thanks
