The obvious solution is for our jumper manufacturer to start making a batch of Yellow Peril jumpers now just in case. If Port's can do it within a week, then surely ours can do something in three weeks. We're one of the richest clubs in Australia, surely we can spare a few $$ to get some made up quickly.

I wonder if BW have a similar deal to HJ's where the GF jumper will only have one sponsor (there was no SGIO logo on the 05 and 06 GF jumpers).

No, the current sponsor arrangement is alternating front and back for SGIO and Bankwest for home and away.

There wasn't a GF clause for HJs, it was just during the 05 06 period the away jumper was only HJ logos.

One step closer to rocking up in our clash on grand final day.

We'll never get rid of it if it's a premiership jumper. :(
Is it possible that wearing the clash could have the opposite effect? I mean, there will be a lot of noise from our supporters (many outside the RTW campaign) who are not going to be thrilled about wearing a non-traditional strip in a GF, and I wouldn't think the club would be over the moon about it either. It just might give us that added push that is needed for change to be set in motion.

That's what I was thinking. I mean, I don't want it to happen but there are positives to be found out of it too (bringing the RTW movement to a wider audience);

Hopefully that if we make the GF with Freo it will be royal v white because we have played all our Grand Finals in royal wings and Freo have worn white in their only Grand Final, they would be happy to continue their tradition.

Hopefully they will continue their tradition of losing grand finals as well

That's a very naive position to take. Of course they will want to wear all purple.

Why on earth would they do us a favour? We wouldn't if the shoe was on the other foot.

I had a dream that we were forced into our clash in the GF. Rather than wear that, we announced our 2016 navy wings home jumper, and told the AFL to go **** itself as we'd be wearing it grand final weekend.

It was a great dream. Kinda shit it won't be reality tbh.

I noticed watching the replay of the Saints game that the players were handing out tri-panel jumpers to the fans after the game, as opposed to footballs.

Clearing excess stock?

Looks like they were doing it on Friday night too. Or maybe they were just signing some jumpers to be auctioned?

They were definately handing out tri panels instead of footies, I saw a pic of a kid on the ground when the players were walking off, wearing a massive one, likely a 2-4xl, it was like a dress on him!!

Weird thing was, is that Freo were giving out jumpers after their game too, but they changed their's last year (changed to red sponsor box) so not sure what's going on there.

Safe to say though, that we are clearing out old stock, whether they are 2013 template, or the new ones, not sure. If they're the new ones, then it must point towards wings next year.

I saw Pav after the game give a cap. Don't know about the rest but caps are a fair bit cheaper than guernseys
