Back of our jumper

The Doc · Post: # 656547Post **The Doc** » Tue 30 Sep 2008 5:14pm

One thing that bugs me about the famous St Kilda jumper is that it looks awesome from the front, but boring from the back. There is no red on the back and the only white is in the number.

This has made it hard, in years prior to the clash guernseys, to distinguish some other teams from the mighty Sainters. But maybe more importantly, if I was to buy some memorabilia such as a framed Harvey #35 jersey with his signature on it it would look great up on the wall, except for the lack of red! And we all know how horrible black and white by itself looks.

So, I was wondering if the club could have a look at going with a couple of different ideas for the back of the jumper. If someone is better with computers than me, then feel free to mock up some designs based on what i describe below.

Option 1 - a small red and white stripe near the collar, above the number.

Option 2 - extend the red and white panels over the shoulder in much the same way as Freo or the Demons have the colours on the front of the jumper extending over the shoulder and featuring on the back, again above the number.

Option 3 - have the red, white and black panels coming up from the base of the jumper to meet the number/sponsor panel.

What do you think?

A thick red and white stripe horizontally underneath the number?

Can someone paintshop some options?

Didnt the old ones have a massive plank of red below the number?

That was the jumper with the big black cross on the front that i think we wore in the 97 GF. Might look a little strange with black shorts

I'm with you, it's original, it has history and raises pride, but more importantly ... IT'S OURS !!!

I wasn't thinking of a drastic change - much more subtle, like

or

I hope that works... I'm not as computer savvy as some!

*Rectangular white panel is the Jeld Wen logo.

If anyone wants to let me know how to post a picture up here, that'd be fantastic!

Love your work moorabbin saint! Almost exactly what i was after! Except the small stripes on the 1st one - I was thinking more along the lines of the thin vertical stripes like on our media polo and training singlet etc.

Good job though!

Lol we did pretty much the same things...

I noticed my panels are the wrong way, you get the point though.

How would a red outline on the numbers be?

iwantmeseats · Tue 30 Sep 2008 7:57pm

We should all be much more concerned about what the hell the club will dish up in replacement of the disgraceful white apron next year, if we are going to worry about jumpers! Our home jumper is fine the way it is, needs absolutely nothing!

Red outline on the numbers.

And with the above post, I agree, if the club dishes something s*** up Archie will be getting a serve.

I quite like that one, ezy. Bonus is for those signature savvy people there's some more room on the back there for them lol

You sir, have created a monster. I initially was just going to visualise The Doc's ideas, but kept working, modifying and tweaking and ended up with 6 different designs and who knows when I'll stop.

Designs 1 and 2 are slight variations on what is essentially this year's training guernsey design transferred to the back.

Design 3 is the Freo/Melb style shoulders.

Design 4 is the stripes on the lower half only.

Design 5 is designs 3 & 4 combined.

Design 6 is the old style, full stripe pattern continued around and over the back with a panel for the numbers.

Oh, and I added a STKFC motif to the back of the neck. Seems to be in fashion these days, and well, I like it.

made the pic smaller cause it seemed redundant having the front of the guernsey on there six times...

Lets change our jumper and also our logo and why we are at change our name to the Seaford Saints. That will just about do it I think. A flag for sure next season.

Those are only forteams who have changed cities or their team name.

* Western Bulldogs (FFC - Footscray football club)
* Sydney Swans (SMFC - South Melbourne football club)
* Brisbane Lions (BBFLFC - Brisbane Bears/Fitzroy Lions football clubs)

I realise this, but just because they are the only ones to have done it so far, who's to say we can't? Well, the AFL could, but what would it matter to them?

I don't think there is a need for it, firstly like i said the teams that have it are remembering their past history and carrying it on into the present day. Also it is just another insignifigant thing, it won't help us to play better neither will the colouring on the back of the jumper.

I say we just leave it and let our players do the talking not our outfits, after all we arn't freo

I'm not advocating change for the sake of change. Just having a bit of fun going along with the topic and coming up with different designs. Not saying we have to use them.

Ok then, i just wouldn't be for a change that had no use or value, but i see what your talking about.
