red jumper

[#1GILL]

and i got low marks at school in history so i guess your right

When I was 10 we never even studied History, let alone Hitler and the Nazis.

I think you are making things up again...

in 1965 the mighty saints changed there cool red white and black panels to a red jumper with a white and black v this was not the first time this had happend once the league made st.kilda change colours with yellow replacing white mianly because at the time red white and black were the germans national colours the nations enmy.GO THE MIGHTY SAINTS

Just a couple of things.

The red with black and white vee was a proposed jumper but the change never actually happened. That is fact, this I am not so sure of, I beleive it was suggested when we were wearing our current tri colour with a white back, my understanding is we chose the tri colour with a black back rather than the red with black and white vee.

The league did not direct us to change our colours to red black and yellow, however the club did decide to change their colours at the outbreak of world war 1 as our beloved red black and white were also the colours of the German forces.

how on earth does a ten year old who failed history know about our proposed (but discarded) jumper from 40+ years ago?

There was a story about it in the AFL Record this season.

No problems.

It is never a mistake to be wrong.

It is only a mistake to to not learn from that mistake.

And today you have learnt a bit of history on your club, and on world affairs (World War 1 and 2).

sorry no jumping upon intended and obviously I have learnt as well about the jumpers

enjoy the site and always love the saints but don't always rely on places like wikipedia for your information

Did we ever use the jumper from 1914-17 as a heritage jumper? The stripes are somewhere between the thickness of the tri-panel and collingwoods strips, and go all the way around. Would be a good clash jumper! Stick a white panel on the back with black numbers on it.
