Is the any reason why we'd want to look like the Dockers?
When the team ran out the first time, from the front of level 3 they looked excactly like the Fremantle Dockers -- dark with anarrow white vertical band /anchor / cross.
Then when we ran out later, in our white strip, we looked just like ... the Fremantle Dockers. All white with a dark vertical band /anchor / cross.
It's beyond me -- what are they thinking when they design these irrelevant jumpers?
Why cant we look like St Kilda when we play ????
Very disappointed, again.

Our colours are Red White and Black.
Not White with a dash of R&B.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Yes -- and from another angle it looks like a collingwood jumper! -- just a black stripe on some white either side. It's bad when such an iconic, historic moment like that doesn't look like it's your team.Enrico_Misso wrote:Our colours are Red White and Black.

Yep you said that last season and if they had their normal jumper on it would have looked like Essendon.Enrico_Misso wrote:Our colours are Red White and Black.

Can understand some people getting worked up about the jumpers we wear during the season and, hopefully, the Finals.wasaintsfan wrote:loved the shirts not for a permanent thing but they were awesomesome thinking out the square
if we always do the same thing week in week out..... our history will not change... even something as little as jumpers
But NAB Cup I couldn't care less.
For what it's worth I liked both versions.

Exactly is probably a poor choice of words, as I don't know how a red black and white with a cross jumper looks EXACTLY like a purple jumper with an anchor.avid wrote:When the team ran out the first time, from the front of level 3 they looked excactly like the Fremantle Dockers -- dark with anarrow white vertical band /anchor / cross.

I liked it and it was a further differentiation of the nab cup from the real stuff.
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

glad I was not the only one thinking that... As soon as my husband saw the jumpers last night he said, you look like Freo but in Red, White and Black.
Tend to agree with him, I just wish we could wear the traditional jumper. Its the best looking jumper in the league....

I liked the jumper myself.
Its only a preseason strip anyway and IMHO the reason for the white one was to avoid a colour clash against Essendon who STILL get away with refusing to come up with anotehr strip.
As for looking like Fremantle I didnt see any resemblance between our strips last night and anything Freo has ever worn in their history.
BANG BANG

The jumpers that they were wearing are the ones that i designed a couple of years ago however they made some variations which IMO absolutely ruined them.
1. They put the club crest in the centre, I can't stand this personally, I believe the Crest should stay where it normally is, looks far classier.
2. They drastically reduced the red outline around the cross, in my original design the red outline is very, very noticable. Last night it just looked like a black or white cross.
3. The centre of the cross doesn't go around the back, it is just on the front panel, IMO it looks terrible.
They made subtle changes to my original design when they used them as a training top a couple of years ago but IMO the training top still looked absolutely fantastic.
As for saying we look like Fremantle I think that's a bit silly. Would you say that our club logo looks like a fremantle jumper? of course not.
The jumper was designed to greater represent the clubs logo as a suitable alternative.

I liked the design, just though it needed a little more red. Maybe a red outline around the cross? I don't know, but it ain't a St. Kilda jumper without the red being clearly visible.
So this is only for the preseason? If that's the case, it's no big deal. But still, you'd think the designers would've saw the flaws in the first place.

On both jumpers there is a red outline around the cross, however it is so thin it isn't noticeable from any sort of distance.sRaf wrote:I liked the design, just though it needed a little more red.

It is supposed to be just for the Nab cup but I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up in a few training session photos throughout the year.

I quite liked the white one from last night (except for the crest in the center) Still trying to get that 2008 training jumper, white with the cross, can't find one - did you design that ?Armoooo wrote:The jumpers that they were wearing are the ones that i designed a couple of years ago however they made some variations which IMO absolutely ruined them.

Yeah I designed it in school one day, later on I posted it on I posted in on Saintsational and it got a pretty good response.MCG-Unit wrote:I quite liked the white one from last night (except for the crest in the center) Still trying to get that 2008 training jumper, white with the cross, can't find one - did you design that ?Armoooo wrote:The jumpers that they were wearing are the ones that i designed a couple of years ago however they made some variations which IMO absolutely ruined them.

I Emailed the club about it and didn't hear anything back.
Then a year and a half later it was brought out as our training top, at the time I was dead broke and couldn't afford it so I emailed Archie Fraser, basically asking for a free one. He claimed that ISC designed it and said the best he could do was if I buy one he could get my favourite player to sign it.
I was a little disappointed with Archie's response because he was being quite a smart arse about it, especially considering I provided a link in which I introduced the jumper 18 months before ISC made theirs.
To this day I'm not sure if it was the club who saw it on here and sent the design to ISC, if ISC came across it by themselves or if just by co-incidence they came up with the exact same design.
It's my mission that St Kilda will one day wear a jumper I've designed on an actual game day, a NAB cup match would be nice, but a home and away match would be even better.
