FMD!
who changed when and how many times is irrelevant.
clubs are entitled to utilise any home match-day uniform they want. their reasons are their own.
the issue is the manner in which the AFL determined who gets to wear the home strip. GF is a neutral match, a coin toss wouldve been most appropiate and fair. But as we know, the AFL is far from this when making decisions. There is always a hierachial approach to decision-making.
Congrats to the STK club on moving on and focusing on the main objective once the they were informed of the kit priority allocation. They couldve kicked up a stink for a few days, but then, what it really more important - what your club wears in the match, or winning the premiership?
If STK win the GF, the history books will show '2010 PREMIERS - ST KILDA FOOTBALL CLUB'.
So some perspective STK fans. Keep the eyes on the prize, and dont waste energy on minor details.
Who knows, after this match, the club may have two guernseys to be worn with pride. Just ask an AC MILAN fan who have just as much love for their multiple Champions League winning 'all-white' strip, as they do for their traditional 'red & black stripes shirt, white shorts, and black socks' strip. As such, their away strip is as iconic as their home.
EDIT - at least STK have a decent (albeit bastardised of the original) alternate, unlike clubs such as HAW & ADE with BS mickeymouse monikers on their guernseys.
