garlic munchers?

Garlic Munchers Cup

Go ahead tease us Wogs. Garlic is healthy for you.

Someone should make a West Perth Italian jumper

Surely green top left, white sash and red bottom right could work?

I suppose so, unless the club is adamant that they want to keep the red with a blue sash

Err... it's not teasing. West Perth actually still play for the Garlic Munchers Cup. I'd never heard of it before and it sounds semi-derogatory, surprised it's still around

The first Garlic Munchers Cup was actually last year I'm pretty sure

Sorry Volta did I offend you by saying that?

Like calling West Australians sand gropers or South Australians Crow Eaters?

No. I'm saying calling some one a garlic muncher is an offence.

That's different. This is just people in general.

Well it's not exactly a politically correct name for a cup though is it?

West Perth have been nicknamed that for a long time now...

I think it's outright awful. I mean who makes these nicknames anyway?

 

[Spanna_]

It's more of an unofficial thing

Usually our dear old grandfather's and people of their generation came up with these names and they've just stuck over time ...

 

[Chris who]

From what I have seen it was a name given to the West Perth side in the 1950s when Don Marinko junior and his brother Ray would be followed to the game by the market Gardening community.

 

[Andonis1997]

Pffft, not the worst 'garlic munchers' have copped so....meh.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Just waiting for the Sandn.............. cup and the Curry Munchers cup too... really?

Yeah nah. Garlic Munchers has been claimed much like wog. It's a term of endearment and unity used specifically by the group it would offend if any. It's a bit different to that whole Redskins thing in the US. Curry muncher is just heinous

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

I think what Volta is trying to get at is, it is in a way, slightly racist. Like calling Native Americans "redskins" or as Australians used to call Aboriginal people, "Blacky". It's meant as a term of endearment, yes. But the connotations behind such a phrase are actually racist

 

[jefffff34]

Any word about any of the club selling match worn guernseys from the NAIDOC round online?

NOT yet but they don't sell them every year. They wait till the sponsors are so far out of date they have no use for them

 

[Heardy_101]

Sorry for bumping, but does anyone have photos of what Central Districts old clash jumper used to look like? I'm talking about the white version of their current home.

Thanks in advance.

I can't find any either...I THINK it was a white base, with the hoops going red-blue-white-red-blue-white-red IIRC (I doubt I recalled it correctly...)
