I emailed the club today and asked them to explain what the St Kilda like design has to do with our club heritage. I pointed out that (I think) on the original design the royal blue represented the ocean and the yellow the beach of our west coast and the wings were of an eagle; hence the wings design embodied what our club stood for. I also said I was disappointed that the yellow peril is not sold in our team store.

They are usually good at answering emails so I expect an answer sometime next week.

2. Confusion reigns
The AFL's policy on clash jumpers is constantly bewildering. In this case, West Coast was allowed to wear its dark blue guernsey against a Melbourne side sporting a navy blue strip. The ridiculous nature of this decision was evident during the second quarter when Demons players handballed to Eagles opponents on two occasions. Now the League might claim that the errant handballs were simply a product of Melbourne's lack of skill (the Demons "couldn't hit the side of a barn with a handful of wheat", as one wag on Twitter put it). But surely the players and fans would have been better served by an edict for West Coast to wear a white or yellow jumper.

Ummm .... no. We wore a Royal Blue jumper against Melbourne. Like we have done for years. There was no clash.

I am a fan of the Yellow Peril, and I I have no objection to it being worn as an away or clash strip - as long as we have Wings at Home. But today wasnt a massive issue. Against WB it would have been.
