The St Kilda administration has, in my opinion, done well on the research of the strip that has been chosen as the "clash strip"
The continuing insults from a poster that in some way acknowledges "tradition" but just fails to see or recognise anything the current administration is implementing to tradition, that is just astounding IMO
Yeah, righto, this certain poster recently told me to "get a life'...

Getting a brand new jumper tomorrow down at Moorabbin. Can't decide on the home or clash. If the training ones there I'll probably look into that. White with the cross ftw!
If the candy stripe was there that would be a certain winner!
If someone has been down to the shop lately and can inform me of whats there it would be highly appreciated!
As hss been previously been stated we had no choice to go nearly all white which ment a much wider white stripe. I still think it is the best clash strip we could have come up with, it had history to it and again as has been said it actually looks like a ST KILDA jumper not some generic white jumper with a logo printed badly on it.
I am still annoyed that the AFL (i.e Collingwood) had a sook so we couldnt wear our candy stripe one anymore. IMHO the best away/clash jumper we have EVER had.

l honestly think that the cross style guernsey first used for the pre-season in 1996 & then as a home jumper from 1997 was by far the best.
It brought instant success too.
1996 Ansett cup Premiers
1997 Grand final
I understand that it wouldn't be suitable as a clash strip today, but l reckon that Guernsey made the Mighty Saints look...well..Mighty!

Still waiting b4e, on just why do you think the Club has "stuffed up" on the issue with the clash strip
Put up or stop the continuing sledges at the current administration...

On a side note, re merchandise, does anyone else agree with me that the price of the "Official AFL" home and clash jumpers for 2009 are way over the odds?
(Not that it is any different to previous years).
It is for this reason that I refuse to buy current stock and have and will only purchase clearance Saints items (from our club or course - keep all the profits at the club!).

Was saying the exact same thing to my dad who loved the old Fitzroy 95 & 96 pre - season jumper and i said ours was much better because
* It was ours
* And we actually won a game in it.
Still wear my Hot Cross Bun and Yellow Peril to games.

But are we talking about tradition???
That will never pass as a current "clash strip"
Both next years and the candy stripe are at least versions of our previous strip and I for one think that the current has merrit.
A Version of the "candy stripe" was worn back in 1904.
Next years version was worn back in 1923...
The "Hot Cross" version is NOT a clash strip in today's AFL standards
I support the Clubs decision on looking back at the 'TRADITION' of the Club and acknologing it

Yes i'm with you, i personally love the new jumper, in fact it reminds me of Neil Roberts everytime i see it because of the word you have used TRADITION.
It was good to see that we didn't just stumble across this jumper and because it was popular make it more emphatic by using it in the season proper.
So just where is the "Admin Flogger" in everything the CLUB DOES???
b4e????
(notice I will never call your "barks" you just don't deserve it , and IMO you are an insult to the name and probably you GGF would be better served not following this Club.
Your insults about this Club's administration on several issues is just a total P1ss weak and then carry on about your GGF is just P1ss weak.
Your hype of "tradition" GET A CLUE! and look up the word "tradition" in our Clubs history and the Dictionary and then go to your GGF Grave site and pay his respects.
You clearly have no idea and just rant on with your agendas ...

100% agree SP..the AFL Shop in particular is one the greatest rip-off stores in retailing
I was never really taken by the Candy stripe jumper. I mean, it was passable, but too 'generic' as it looked like so many other footy jumpers like Collingwood, Hawthorn, Nth Melbourne, etc. The cross jumper however was undoubtedly & distinctively ST.KILDA
