Heritage Jumpers

100 bucks here in tassie as well

plus even more special as only puma teams have them for retail sale. i know adelaide had only 80 for sale at the crows shop but at 160 bucks!

The guernseys on the AFL auction site look great - but I seem to have missed where the money goes to ? Is it for player development or straight into the AFL coffers ??

Looks like we got off lucky price-wise. I picked up one at the game for $100, but The Boss has to shell out $140 for the Geelong version.

I have to disagree - I think the overall red is a much better look, especially for the bigger players.

Why did they let the umps wear white? I know it was heritage but the lack of contrast was shocking.

It was their black socks that didn't do it for me. I thought the nickerbockers were kind of comic.

But if they are going to have a fair dinkum heritage round they have to have the guernseys made out of real old style fabric, preferably with lace-ups. Having fake laces like on Geelongs and North's synthetic guernseys just doesn't do it for me.

Just on our heritage guernseys, do you think if it were better if the red v came around the back of the guernseys at the back kind of like a bib (or the Roosters NRL top)? The Vs kind of stopped at the shoulders.

PS:- By the way, are you the nice woman who has joined the Cheer Squad this year who brandishes that sign? You seem to be really enjoying the cheering and barracking. Great to have supporters like you along to help out!

I thought the umpires (field and goal) looked great!!

[Mike_B]

I reckon the goal umps should go back to the hats and coats - way better than the long sleeve shirts and baseball caps. At least keep a bit of tradition in the game!

[dread and might]

bought one

love it. twas a battle, running from one shop which didn't have it, to the shop near the members entrance, lining up and finding their eftpos machine was dead. running back up stairs to line up at ATM, back down to the shop to hear they had only large...... what about the one on the hanger?????

My size,

I thought they looked just gorgeous - and I especially love those lucky socks!

[lescygnes]

jules,

the lace ups were canned years ago because players were getting their fingers caught in them during tackles. i think melbourne robbie flower comes to mind......

Yup that's me - enjoying is an interesting word - I can never truly enjoy it until we're 10 goals ahead - even when I watch the replays I'm terrified we're gonna blow it!
