Outraged -Confirmation Wearing Clash Strip this week

[ashjam]

I have it on good authority that St.Kilda will be wearing their clash strip this week.
This is an outrage as Collingwood's whiter jumper and us in our normal guernsey provides no clah.
Collingwood have worn the whiter jumper for most of their history.
The argument that they finished higher doesn't stack up, as Bulldogs wore blue shorts v Collingwood in first final this year, and St.Kilda in hite shorts last night.
We should protest....this is ridiculous.

[Thinline]

I don't care if we wear pink. Just win the f****** thing.

Besides, they finished higher. No biggie.

[stinger]

if they are...they should immediately change into their home strip as soon as the siren blows....

[gringo]

We should just not worry and smash them so badly they look like they wear brown shorts. If we win in our fat white strip I will love it just as much as in black strip.

I wouldn't care if we bring back the m&m strip if it gets the job done.

What we should do is win the game. We can wear nothing for all I care if we win. As I have previously said what happens if we are a point up and the ball is in our backline, one of our players handballs quickly under pressure thinking it is a Saints player but in fact was a Pie and they kick the winning goal. We lose the game but at least our ego is in tact and we have proven we will not be stood over. I would feel really good. Not. Wear what is best for us to give 100% chance of winning.

We should worry abut it.
There's no reason both teams can't play in traditional jumpers.
It wasn't a problem in '66, why now?

[saintbrat]

does this mean I will see them from God's seats?

[Pwoit]

Care factor = 0

I'd rather our guys hit the correct target more than turn it over

Yeah, I'm beyond caring about this kinda stuff anymore. There was little fuss when we wore the tombstone strip in '97. Let baby Eddie have his candy and we can get the big prize instead.

Just happy that we'll be there and have another crack at something very rare, a premiership.

[TriColourDisciple]

Can't believe most people accept us being walked over again regarding this issue. That's the spirit, just lay down again.

I, on the otherhand, come from the more passionate, dyed in the wool, bleed R,W &B type.
So, the Jumper that represents the club I love means everthing.

I really hope your source is wrong ashjam because, if so, this is yet another injustice forced upon our club.

[snoopygirl]

I thought the club had stated that we weren't going to wear the clash strip & we would wear white shorts if required.

We have played in 6 GF and worn 4 different jumpers. It isnt like this is the first time. We are wearing red, white and black and surely that is all that matters unless maybe confusing players helps us win a flag.

Wouldn't it be better to just worry about winning?

Whatever jumper they wear will still have the crest on the player's heart.

That's enough for me.

But then I'm clearly an inferior supporter, so what would I know...

[aussierules0k]

[Sainterman]

Maybe it is another omen...we were not wearing the traditional jumper the last time we held the cup up either!

I don't care what jumper we win our next flag in...lets just make it this week!

[bozza1980]

Colour TV

ahhh... right... so back then, b&w technology had climaxed to where we could easily decipher which player was which.
Nowadays, the quality of digital colour tv is so bad, clash jumper jumpers are required. analog > digital.
Makes sense to me.

If Collingwood played in their traditional top their would be no clash like 1966.

However the clash now occurs when Collingwood wear their non traditional black with white stripes, it isn't that difficult.

The "so called" clash only exists because Eddie McGuire changed Collingwoods tradtional jumper that they wore for over 90 years around 10 years ago!

The acceptance of this jumper by the AFL should have been made conditional that they can wear their new jumper only in circumstances where a "so called" clash is not an issue!

It should be incumbent upon Collingwood to change because they created the issue to begin with!

WHY should St kilda be forced to wear a stupid away clash jumper in a GRAND FINAL because of the whims of Eddie McGuire?

Even going by Eddie McGuire's logic it is Collingwood that should be made to wear their away jumper or their tradtional jumper that they wore for over 90 years because a few years ago he preached that the onus was on North to come up with a new jumper in their so called clash games because they were johnny come latelies!

Given that St kilda were formed in 1873 and Collingwood in 1892, surely once again it is Collingwood's responsibility to change their jumper!

The bottomline is, why should St kilda be forced to wear anything other than our traditional jumper in a Grand Final, because of Eddie " we won't change our tradition, our jumper etc...etc...yada...yada... for anyone McGuire,

when this is precisely what this megalomaniacal hypocrite did just 10 years ago!

Collingwood's traditional jumper that they wore for over 90 years does not clash in any way and McGuire bleats on about how we won't change our jumper or tradition for anyone!

Eddie McGuire/Collingwood caused the issue to exist to begin with so they should be forced to wear their traditional jumper!

It's only fair that both clubs compete in their traditional jumpers!


Our board needs to grow some balls and tell the AFL precisely this!

[Waltzing St Kilda]

The AFL should punish Eddie for failing to fall into line re clash strips by making his team wear their "clash" (virtually indistinguishable from the normal one), leaving the Saints to wear their tradition guernsey as well.

If Eddie is as vehemently opposed to clash strips as he claims (and I agree with him) this shouldn't be a problem.

Having said all that, there's no significant clash in the first place. Just let both teams wear their traditional strips and get on with it.

Here, here, 110%!

I'll be F***** outraged if we are forced to wear our clash strip in a Grand Final because of the whims of Eddie "we won't change our tradition for anyone" McGuire who did precisely that by changing the filth jumper that they wore for over 90 years 10 years ago!

Grand Finals are hard enough to make and when we make them we had better be wearing our traditional jumper!

If both clubs wore their traditional jumpers, there would be no issue!

McGuire created it, he should be the one who has to remedy it!

We should simply refuse to wear anything other than our traditional jumper!

Agree with you both 100% this is outrageous if we have to be in that white away jumper on Grand final day all because Collingwood get away with murder. NO WAY, the club should not stand for this, if this is true...

If this is the case, what will AFL do if we walk out and play in our traditional jumper, fine us? surely they can't take the flag away from us if we win?

Here is our chance to win our 2nd flag and people are happy to see it NOT in our traditional jumper. I am sorry but I just can't swallow that.

This is a %^&ing disgrace.

This.

Our almighty silent president has said this in the past. For finals matches.

[St. Luke]

I don't care if we wear pink. Just win the f****** thing.

This!!!!

I'm more excited than nervous! I'm certain we'll bring something special to this party!!

[SydneySainter]

I think it's fair.

They're minor premiers and have the higher winning margin.

Besides, I think our clash strip looks good.
