"Following news that apparel supplier BLK are going into receivership, St Kilda are set to stun the football world by announcing a lucrative 1 year, $450 sponsorship with Abidas as apparel supplier.

"The club believes that Abidas can meet supporters demands for half black/half white collar and cuffs whilst also including black piping. The clash jumper will be a butchered version of the clubs "crusader" jumper. The clubs head jumper designer Ice Wolf welcomed the move stating that "I can't find anything to complain about with the Abidas designs. I also welcome their washed out colours and general disregard for anything I want in a jumper, regardless of the opinions of the majority of club members". Many St Kilda supporters have also welcomed the Abidas promise that no football jumper of their design shall be less than 74% collar".
"Also the clubs marketing department are set to shock fans in another off field shakeup by placing much loved club mascot "St Trevor" in mothballs. The club says St Trevor will be replaced by a more aggressive and harder mascot in Robert Cop".

"Club CEO Matt Finnis says all club clothing apparel and "Robert Cop" mascot products will be available at the Vic Markets and other associated crappy markets across Melbourne by early March".

I was 100% believing everything you wrote untill i got to "Ice Wolf cant find anything to complain about" .

With the tigers switching to Puma and lions having a deal with Majestic, any word from any of the ITK's as to whether the saints have any deals in the pipeline?

Where have you seen that? I thought they had New Balance lined up.

EDIT: Scratch that, just did a quick google search. That's an awesome pull for them, majestic make awesome gear. I have a few Giants jerseys that are top notch.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Nike me up baby!!!

Piping Hot?

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Would love us in Nike.

My favourite brand!

Sure it is buddy...

Piping Hot?

I dont care if they weren't a 'proper' sports manufacturer. Ive got 3 Piping hot jumpers at home and they all look great.
Id love to go with them again

Sekem produced the PH jumpers.
I wouldn't be against their return if a majority (being realistic) of our strong design elements were present.

That goes for any manufacturer.

Keeping the template simple along with the white collar and cuffs plus a strong financial return to the club is my obvious dream scenario.

Piping Hot could actually fit in with our whole of bayside philosophy...they (or Sekem) did make some good stuff.

Call Canterbury that will be a very positive step towards cultivating the NZ base. Kukri another massive operator in Europe that has been trying to gain traction in Australia.

Interesting.
I seem to remember the connection between jumpers and boots died when Kouta got money hungry in the late 90's.

Who knows now though ...

 

[PoppedCorn]

I have the piping hot polo, track pants, track jacket and jumper.from the mortgage choice era....still look ok

cant see nike getting on board tbh
they wouldn't sell enough for them to be interested

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Nothing official but I've heard we have been speaking to other manufacturers.
Looking likely that clubs with BLK deals will be signing elsewhere. AFL doing all it can to help clubs.
We'll lose some money but let's hope the deal we sign is reasonable and they do the right thing by our jumper and colours.

I've been looking at a few historical photos Saints players (from around the 50s and 60s) and thought how cool it would be to go 'all out' on the Guernsey in that old school way.

What would it look like if we added the black and white pinstripes (on the white) and the oversized, simplified shield to the modern jumper? Like the 1966 replica jumper;


It may look too crowded given the inclusion of sponsors and AFL logos nowadays, but I’d still love to see a mock-up Cody_ if possible (I’ve forgotten how to tag people ). I’ve taken the time to trace the old shield and ribbon (I've also added some faux stitching), feel free to use it for whatever purposes.

It absolutely has died, but when you've got nearly half of a entire list on the books, including some of its biggest and most marketable stars, there's an easier sell there.

 

[Barrels]

FWIW, I'm surprised we don't have more blokes in Asics; best boots I've ever worn, and by some distance.



Had all three.

EDIT: Guess when I accepted I wasn't any good...

Kukri does really excellent off field and training merch too.

Would be a very progressive get.

Foot fetish?

Foot fetish?

Something like that...

Got asked to do numbers, heights, weights and boot makers off the top of my head once after a few pints; was either correct or within a couple of kgs or cm on all of them.

Sad.

By the time i finished playing i had about as much cartilage left in my knees as Michael Jackson had left in his nose.
I wore Grass Cats (Hockey Boots) simular to this pic but older style ones that came out in the 90's.

I found they helped my knees heaps.
People used to ask me if i slipped over more wearing them.
Id always reply " if you dont run very much you dont slip over"
