Adrian Anderson
He also confirmed St Kilda would wear its home strip against Essendon in Sunday's twilight encounter at Etihad Stadium but the Saints would don white shorts with the Bombers to wear red in a bid to deepen the distinction between the sides

Not happy about the white shorts

Sensible solution...North wore white shorts with their home strip on Saturday

Cant wait for the red shorts..it will be 1975 all over again (for those who remember the introduction of colour TV, some Clubs briefly went a bit crazy with colour combos)

A win yes.

But why did we have to beg for it?
It should be our fundamental right!

Well it seems most are happy with this outcome so why not set it in concrete?

Let's not go through this charade each year!

They should be made to wear a red or another colour jumper and we wear our entire normal home strip, but still a win. Agree with other posters who state that we shouldn't have to fight for this. But hey, that's life under a brutal socialist dictator!

As others and dcstkfc said

+1

It is a good enough win for us at this stage.

But the AFL still kowtows to Essendon forcing compromise on us.

Not happy with the white shorts. It should be our home strip and the Bombers sort out something that doesn't clash.

We get the jumper and we are still not happy. When has white shorts not been part of our uniform.

I'd be more p1ssed if they got to wear black shorts.

The fact they have to wear their mardi gras hotpants makes this a good decision in my book

Eastern · Post: # 1057135Post **Eastern** » Wed 06 Apr 2011 8:39am

I'm more than happy with the outcome. Just sent an email to the AFL thanking them for providing the outcome !!

Home team wears home gernsey and black shorts. Away team wears white shorts, you know that, so why question it.

starsign · Post: # 1057188Post **starsign** » Wed 06 Apr 2011 11:28am

this is the same strip we wore in the '66 GF M8s!!!

I'll take it any day!

and we might get the same winning margin for a result

0 R1 Draw
-1 R2 1 pont Loss ....
+1 R3 1 point win

has a nice balanced ledger look about it but if the actual sequence keeps rolling we are looking at -2pt loss!!!

oops

Aren't we R1 1 point Loss, R2 Draw?

Sequence would give us a 1 point victory

have you seen the shaving thread yet starsign?

barks4eva · Post: # 1057252Post **barks4eva** » Wed 06 Apr 2011 1:34pm

Absolutely excellent news

Obviously when we are the away team against Essendon and Collingwood in future we can wear our home jumper providing we wear red shorts

and they will be both be instructed to wear white shorts for their home game

not sure McGuire will like it

but great the AFL has come on board

and fantastic that we no longer need a clash jumper

woohoo

Junction Oval · Wed 06 Apr 2011 1:46pm

Great news. Like most others, I'll take the white shorts.

An important question is this - " how much influence did the Sainsational feedback prompt either the St Kilda heirachy or the AFL (less likely) to act?" Me thinks perhaps a lot more than they would be willing to admit to.

Let's now get on with the football.
