Red, White and Black
I was in a bookstore the other day and came across a little pocket book in
the sports sections, titled RED, WHTE AND BLACK. It was basically a 2004
season in review with profiles on players, coaching staff and the board.
Troy Schwarze was labelled as being the "utility", the Clarke brothers
were referred to as "blue-chip investments", Kosi as the "the young gun",
Brent Guerra as the "wildcard", Dal Santa as the "dynamo"...you get the
drift. Essentially the point of the book was that St. Kilda had made terrific
progress in 2004 and a flag could well be around the corner. Although the
book was an interesting read and still contained some great pieces of St.
Kilda trivia, next time the club feels they are on the verge of a
premiership, they may want to write the book AFTER they win it.

When I first read this title, I wondered if it was about something else.
In the 1970s, I can remember having a badge that said "Red, White and Black". And sometimes I've seen people say "Red, Black and White".
Is there one DEFINITIVE version of these colours? One clear statement about the order of the words?
Thanks.

I'd say that Red, White and Black is the most appropriate, as that's the colour order of our jumper.markinUSA wrote:When I first read this title, I wondered if it was about something else.

If we had a Santa we would have more premierships than stinking Carlton and Essendon put together.
