Pre Season/ Clash Jumper....one more time
Quick comment or statement if you like. I think the Swans NAB jumpers look good. Simple clash jumper, standard front with a white back. Something I wish St Kilda would do for our clash jumper. Traditional front with a white back.......simple.
Happy to have whatever crazy NAB cup design each year that generates merchandise sales I just wish our clash jumper looked more St Kilda.

Remain educated on the game, stay loyal to St.Kilda

Agreed.
There are plenty here who'll say they don't care what jumper we wear as long as we win ... and it's hard to argue with that. But that's assuming that the jumper we wear has absolutely no bearing on our capacity to win. And is that really true?
Nathan Thompson for one has commented on the powerful feeling he head running out in a traditional jumper, as opposed to some wimpy white pyjama-top.
In St Kilda's case, who's to say that our symbolic meekness against Essendon -- wearing our clash jumper at home games -- hasn't contributed to our losing streak?
In Rd 3 this year I'll be digusted if we do it again. Symbolically, it will be a powerful born-to-rule club stomping over a weak born-to-hold-up-the-ladder club. Look what happened after Collingwood trampled over North Melbourne in similar circumstances. The Pies have won a flag while North wanders in the wilderness.
RD 3 = our home game, our home jumper. What -- Essendon doesn't have a clash jumper? Not our problem, sorry.

The "deafening silence" on this issue coming from Nettlefold and Westaway suggests that we will be running out in our clash strips and will bow to and get bent over AGAIN by Essendon & the AFL !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

But the jumper is all Essendon has. They're living on past glories. Most people I know who follow the Saints or who follow other clubs besides Essendon are sicked by the fawning coverage of James T*rd and his off-sider Mark "Sandwiches" Thompson. The fact is Essendon's list isn't that great.
BTW the hard work of pruning dud players Sheedy recruited has actually already been done...by Matthew Knights.
I really think sacking Knights was premature. Instead they've gone for a 'name'...the home-grown hero. I think Hird will probably have a few good wins and generate some supporter interest but in the end it'll be like Kevin Bartlett coaching Richmond.....it'll end in tears.
In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.

Love your work,Trunch.
Great to see that your immense photographic talent has been recognised and look forward to future iconic photos (of a Saints premiership, ideally!)

They will not grow old, as those from more northern States grow old.
For them it will always be three-quarter-time, with the scores level
and the wind advantage in the final term.

I warned the cheese eating surrender monkeys in 2008 at the AGM that we might play Collingwood in a Grand Final in the next few years and that it was imperative that our clash jumper be as close to the home jumper as possible and not some jumper with a white panel as wide as the Grand Canyon, because we might be forced to wear our clash jumper in a Grand Final, represented on the world stage!
Westaway interjected " We will wear our home jumper in Grand Finals"
The clown has NFI!
And after last year, you'd think they'd get it sorted, but no the cheese eating surrender monkeys, don't stand for anything, they jump at shadows, bend over and wonder why it continues to happen!
Would Eddie McGuire allow this to happen to Collingwood?
NO, in actual fact he doesn't!
Our clash jumper should be OUR HOME JUMPER with a white back, ALL panels the same width just like our home jumper!
THIS DOES NOT CLASH WITH ANYONE, SO WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
The same as what Collingwood do, replacing the black with white on the back and this would not clash with anyone!
We might as well run out in a white flag!
It's a FAIR DINKUM disgrace how this board represent the club on this issue!
They as one should all stand down effective immediately!
