Certified Legendary Thread Winged Guernsey Petition/Letter - #ReturnTheWings: WINGS RETURNED, PERIL RETURNED - JOB DONE!

[MIKE85]

I think there was 2 IT jobs going - which one did he get?

Not 100% sure, I'll have to ask him, he was working at collingwood in the same role and was lucky enough to get this one and move back to Perth. (Although some would say moving back from Melbourne isn't good luck!!)

 

[wing it]

When they say return the wings, is it just about getting rid of the tri panel? Or about bringing back the big wings?

Mainly the reinstatement of the wings and killing off the tri-panel. However, we are all for the bigger wings as well.

But first things first. Wings.

 

[ChampRevesby]

The good thing about Freo losing is that WC supporters can finally come out of hiding. Let's hope the general support base get around the wings when it opens up to the public later on.

But the tri panel represents each of our premierships

 

[Impunity!]

But the tri panel represents each of our premierships

So Freo should be playing in skins then?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

So Freo should be playing in skins then?

each of their stripes represents one of our premierships that they despise us for

 

[kane249]

But the tri panel represents each of our premierships

So does that mean we add an ochre stripe to the jumper after the next flag?

 

[MKMatty]

I though the stripes represented the IQ of the students that thought that jumper was better then the wings.

 

[InTheWings]

Three stripes and your out!

Should we follow the tradition of a few sports and use a star (or something else) to represent each Premiership?

Only AFL premierships. Those Vic clubs can learn the difference between an AFL one and a VFL flag.

Like freo do, with all that blank space on their guernsey

Serious answer though, no.

Melbourne I believe already do that

Either that or it represents how many first round picks they've wasted, I forget which one it is

 

[MIKE85]

Looks shit, don't like it. Looks kinda tacky. I don't know it could be done to look good. We don't need those little gimmicks, we just need wings!

 

[BartBart]

I am sure it could be done in a way where it looked good. I guess the location, size and symbol used would be important. Just a thought anyway.

 

[kane249]

Probably need a few more premierships before we should even consider it. Boasting about our 3 flags up against the likes of Carlton (16), Essendon (16), Collingwood (15), Melbourne (12), Hawthorn (11) etc it makes us look a bit silly.

VFL Flags shouldnt carry the same weight as AFL flags

It shouldn't, but it's the same comp renamed so be it.

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah agree vfl flags shouldn't count but we all came and joined their league so I guess they still count for a bit. Had 6 or 7 teams come from over east and joined the wafl, we would all want to keep our wafl flags.

We should be proud that we're the most successful interstate club in the league (along with Brisbane if you're thinking premiership wise). I think we have a valid reason.

Voted today with the alternative option... want the wings with royal blue

 

[oak79]

Voted today with the alternative option... want the wings with royal blue

Although most of us want that, I don't know if its a good idea.

Say 25 % vote for an alternate (ie Royal, or make your own). 35% vote for "return the wings" and then 40% vote for tri-panel.

Tri-panel gets the most votes, so it stays.

Not good result.

 

[happy_eagle]

What part of "The Club says that Navy is non-negotiable" is hard to understand
We have the chance to get rid of the tri-panel and some fans are overly obsessing over the Royal wings
Navy Wings looks decent

 

[MIKE85]

Just vote for the bloody navy wings already!! Can people grow up an realise that if this thing is ever going to happen, navy is the only way, the club have even told us this straight up, yet people still think that voting for the royal home is "taking a stand" you're not standing for anything, you are all ruining this thing because you are too stubborn to compromise. If the bloody tri panel wins because you fools think you can make a difference I'll be pissed, even more so than now!! Sorry if this has offended any of you but we all need to realise that navy wings beat tri panel and those are the only options at the minute.

 

[happy_eagle]

We already get to see the Royal wings 10+ times per year. Stop being stubborn people
