The New Away Strip
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
The whole point of the strip as a whole is to be predominantly white...black shorts would just make it clash more, as it will be only worn during away games. when the other team will most likely be wearing black (or dark) shorts.bethb7 wrote:I didn't mind the jumper so much, but to me it should have be worn with black shorts even out the colouring. But better than last years jumper that was hideous
I'm fine with it. Looks like a St Kilda jumper still, unlike some of the other teams

I disagree. Westaway made a bad decision. It shows yet again that this club has no concept of tradition. Sack everyone.Eastern wrote:I think the club has really picked a winner with this one. It meets all the AFL criteria (that's more important than many think) and maintains our traditional RED, WHITE & BLACK panels. !!
Great jumper BTW.

It'a pretty good for a clash jumper but please tell me we're not wearing this as a permanent away jumper? We can easily avoid clashes with everyone but Essendon and maybe Collingwood while wearing our traditional jumper. I've got no problem with it for the pre season/clashes, but wearing it 11 times in the H&A season is excessive

if i ever live to see the saints win a premiership, and they hold the cup up in jumper but the home one i will kill someone. every bloody jumper the club designs looks worse than dried up cow sh!t!
my mate wanted to know if we were wearing that jumper last night for one of our bushfire things we are doing to raise money, when i told him its a clash jumper he couldnt stop laughing. either could i actually, its sh!t

All in All with the requirement of having predominately white front and back, this strip is a winner.
But I just still can't get over Essendon getting away with what they wear, and in their away game last year they just wore their normal strip.
It does p1ss me off that these rules apply to some and not to all, but the strip is a good one IMO

Barks apparently it loooks awesome in Frankston....barks4eva wrote:Agree entirely, while it is an improvement on last years, what wouldn't be, it still sucks big time!avid wrote:It's almost OK, but those thin little stripes down the side are irritating and embarrassing.
Why couldn't they just keep the traditional R,W+B front the same, and have a white back for clash games and a black back for the rest? (And the white or black shorts, sock tops, etc) That would look awesome, and fresh, and historical too, each and every time.
No one ever gets our front confused -- it's the black back that may be a problem on occasion. Stop tinkering. Be straightforward.
(That goes for the game plan too.)
Our traditional home jumper with a white back is still predominantly white and clashes with noone!
There is no need for the white slab at the front to be so wide, it just looks terrible!
Can the current board get anything right?

It is better than last years debarcle.......but so is a toga.

What the board has to do with it is that it didn't have the insight or the balls to argue forcefully against the AFL dictate. Eddie McGuire achieved an excellent result for Collingwood by being a stubborn d**khead. Why couldn't we hold to the core values too -- the real red white and black front, and what surely must be an acceptable variation of a white back, shorts, etc.St DAC wrote:Barks, the AFL dictate by percentage how much of the front and back have to be white. The club must work within those parameters.
The board has nothing to do with it.
The skimpy little side panels look ridiculous. They make the players look fat -- like a way, way too small waistcoat that won't do up.
(Slightly better than last year's basketball singlet admittedly.)

Our clash jumper should be exactly the same as our home jumper except for a white back, this would not clash with any other AFL jumper, is far more aesthetically pleasing and maintains our traditional panels!
The white panel at the front is about as wide as the Grand Canyon and looks fair dinkum terrible!
Anything would be an improvement on their previous two years, but once again, the board have stuffed it up.
How simple is it to just keep our home jumper and change the back to white, if it's good enough for Collingwood, then it's good enough for us!

We have given all of our jumpers nicknames over the years, for example, "The hot cross bun" , "The Candy stripe" ,"The Yellow peril", "The (acid washed) apron/Basketball singlet", etc.
What will we call this latest edition?
"The fat jumper" perhaps?
One things for sure. It couldn't be called "The Right Choice" jumper.

Do you know specifically what these parameters are?GrumpyOne wrote:Within the parameters that the AFL gave us, I think its a bloody good design effort. It gets my vote.
The only thing I've ever heard mentioned is that it must be pre-dominantly white!
Our traditional home panel jumper with a white back would also be pre-dominantly white and would not clash with any other club!
How much did Collingwood have to change their jumper?
How much better would it look if we only changed the back of the jumper!
Even that would be more of a change than what Collingwood offered up and their jumper was given the green light!
The wide white panel at the front looks about as good as a hungover Amanda Vanstone, first thing in the morning!
As for a good design effort
