Heritage Guernseys - the best and the worst

[TigerFan]

now that the heritage round has wrapped up, we can rate all the god-awful and blast from the past guernseys on display...

personally, the Sydney one is always a highlight, while Fremantle's certainly outpoints their home and away guernsey and Brisbane's was good too.

the lowlight was certainly Hawthorn's abomination of a jumper today, while Port's baby blue stripes was bloody horrible.

Richmond's didn't evoke a reaction either way really.


what did you think of this year's batch?

Can anyone care to shed light on the history of the Hawthorn jumper?

Thought I was watching the Bulldogs game today.

 

[finbarr]

Well i'm actually going on record to say i think Port's was not all that bad. Stuff the lot of ya!

 

[Jakko]

Who wore one OLDER than Ports early 1870s jumper?

 

[sp-mac]

We should all follow Collingwood's lead and bring back the collars!

 

[MadRyan]

This years croup wasn't impressive at all. When will Brisbane wear the LAST Fitzroy jumper? I actually have that jumper and it's one of my favorites.

Best - Sydney

Worst - Port Adelaide

 

[coxon]

The worst easily:

 

[Bellablaise]

Sydney's was pretty good... actually like it better than their usual one.

 

[Groove]

I dont know why people are bagging the port one so much, it looked effective on tv.

 

[TigerFan]

I think they should revert back to it - if the Sydney Swans haven't established an identity by now, they never will

Best - Sydney

Worst - Port Adelaide

They wore it against the Hawks didnt they earlier this year? And they played like the old Fitzroy team did

Best- Collingwood. BTW, I loved how people said they couldnt tell the difference, yet everyone says it should be our clash strip? Maybe most should realise it aint that much difference at all and the AFL is looking for a total change

Worst- Carlton, Richmond

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Fremantles was the best...

 

[col44]

The worst easily:

Thats because you probably got sick of the sight of it destroying your team!

How about heritage prices in the food shops for next years 'Heritage Round'?

Well they gave you a free drink with every pie this weekend

They were offering a special heritage deal of a pie and coke for 4 bucks. still expensive but still half price to the normal rate.

It didn't apply to beer.

 

[Ricketts]

Crows was the best.

 

[Crow2005]

I liked St Kilda's colours they are the colours that St Kilda really should still have but the Changed them in either WW1 or WW2 because of the resembelance to Germany any saint's supporters if you think or know I am wrong let me know !

Loved the Crows one ! but really it is a state jumper and not a part of our (club history) I loved the gurnsey we had fo the ansett cup in 96 I wish they brought it back as our away strip or for heritage round it's the one with a giant crow on front ! our away one has a crow on it but it is not the same !

 

[PAFC2004]

You people can all say that Port's was the worst, but who cares? What else do you expect from 1870's fashion?

 

[PAFC2004]

Crows was the best.

Absolute garbage. They had no right to wear a state guernsey. That is not part of their heritage.

 

[Crow2005]

BTW Silky-Smooth is hot !
