I must say, even being a huge Robert Harvey admirer I would never buy that print.

In my opinion it just looks horrible.

it doesn't even look like him but i guess that could be the artists style.

cheap print when you consider how much his other works have gone for...

but it's a print all the same. Does anyone know how big it is?

I've got one of these
I actually really like it, i think it looks a lot better in person than in the picture, but hey, that might just be me?

I just wish they used the Hot Cross Bun rather than the Candy Stripe...

candy stripe is the king of our gurnseys, absolute king. The hot cross bun is only slightly less awful than last years clash strip. Oh well, each to their own

I've said it before & I'll say it again
The Candy stripe was just a generic guernsey which looked like so many other clubs. ho hum
The Cross? now that screamed ST.KILDA! it was very distinctive & undoubtedly OURS, & not a rip off of an old standard.
Sadly missed.
Oh..the print of Harves? Love it!

It's nothing to do with which guernsey I prefer, it is simply because Harvey played his best footy in the Hot Cross Bun.

But FWIW I absolutely LOVE the hot cross bun, so much so that I'm bringing it back. I will not stop until I have St Kilda playing in the mighty cross again. I have got it as a training top this year and I will not quit until it becomes a match day guernsey!!

Isnt the print supposed to be a representation of the stellar game that Harves produced against the Crows in the 05 QF??? Could be wrong but something just says thats what its supposed to be??

I'm pretty sure someone, not sure who - the artist? Harvey? both? picked a moment which summed up his career, I remember reading a paragraph on the bit of play it was on as a promotional thing for the print.
