Uniform

[KingJim]

The team we barrack for is synonomous with the colours of the club. In actually watching our boys play, it is also vital to which team is which, and how easy it is to follow the play. It also has a strong emotional collection, we live and die for our team colours and uniform.

Recently, in the last few games, I found myself quite irritated at the club colours. A few weeks ago we had purple socks. I thought I was watching Fremantle. Last week we had the stickman Guernsey, which from the back displayed red and white (with a tiny bit of black in the sponsor logo, I thought I was watching the Swans.

This is literally diminishing my love of watching our boys play through confusion and frustration.

We are St Kilda, the red, black and white. Stripes are preferred, as we have had for 'quite a while now'. It is easier to see, and associated with the passion of our club. It's great (or not so much) to continually make alterations to the uniform of our club but it needs to still be legible, to clearly identify our team on the ground, and to associate in a passionate way with the history of our club. When markleting or other causes deviate from this, we the fans lose out. I wish we could just keep it simple (and traditional) for a while.

Or maybe I'm just getting old!

I’m not sure how I feel about stick man. Overall I think I like it!

When were the purple socks? Not Maddie round v Tigers I assume?

I like a bit of variety in the jumper, creates future retro memories. Agree though, the old school RWB is always welcome, especially if the saints emblem is atop the sponsor - like the good old days!

Home jumper - traditional three stripes
Away - candy stripe
Clash - stick man

Get it done.

All AFL clubs like to change things up from time to time due to the revenue it generates through merch sales.
[PLAYERCARD]Liam Stocker[/PLAYERCARD] mentioned in a recent podcast I listened to that the merch department currently have a 5 year "look book" that they are working to. So expect more alternate strips over the coming years.

If you're over 70, I can totally understand how you'd feel this way.

Hang in there old boy.

I’m very disappointed with the sock situation. Why we don’t wear the red white black horizontal stripe socks anymore bothers me more than it should really.
Wish we still looked like this

I can't believe wearing those baggy woollen guernseys and they still couldn't lay a hand on Banga!

Not much of an issue when almost no one pulls them up anymore...
