Re: The candy stripe returns
We're lucky at the Saints to have (a) a great home guernsey; (b) a great away guernsey; and (c) great alternative away guernseys (though I much prefer the candy stripes to the crusader cross and the German flag).
Compare that to the generally bland and/or hideous away guernseys of other clubs.

Me too.
The Candy Stripe was my original Avatar for many, many years, and so it has now returned back as my Avatar again!

Great jumper. Can't believe that it was canned for the faded apron back in the day

Although, the colours of the German flag were red, white, and black leading into and during WWI, hence we adopted the red, black, and yellow jumper as the Belgians were allies.

Re: The candy stripe returns
I thought that red number we wore in the pre-season games was going to be the clash jumper this season?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Re: The candy stripe returns
Not a fan at all. Always seems way to "Busy" and without any detail. For me, I'm a fan of the remake of the original jumper, ie with the collar, or the hot cross bun/crusader jumper

Re: The candy stripe returns
I don’t because it’s irrelevant to footy.
It’s just propaganda.
