Gee that will create interest...

Adelaide...did not exist
Brisbane...Killer Koala
Carlton...no change
Collingwood...black stripes on white instead of white on black
Essendon...no change
Fremantle...did not exist
Geelong...no change
Hawthorn...no change
Kangaroos...blue and white vertical stripes (no changefor some weeks)
Melbourne...royal blue instead of navy blue
Port Adelaide...did not exist as "Power" otherwise SANFL jumper
Richmond...no change
St Kilda...no change
Sydney...already used in last few heritage rounds, or every week
West Coast...blue on yellow instead of yellow on blue
Bulldogs...same except for no bulldog on front.

6 clubs wear the same jumpers as the 80's, 3 did not exist,2 reversed their colours on the uniform, 1 club merged and 4 have made minor alterations. Can't see that as a good marketing ploy.

I think the AFL were referring to the spray on shorts in the 80's. Can you imagine Bon Bon and co with O'keefe wearing the 80's shorts

Pre 1900 for mine. When footy was tough. Bring back the blood to the bloods boys.

Make them play "skins" and write the players' numbers on the back with a big black texta

I'm surprised that the club hasn't thought to rotate through all of the jumpers with the hope that people will buy a new one each year.

Bump...

According to the club shop on the Swans website it's the same jumper as last year, and the year before etc etc.

I am surprised our friend BBBHNo1 has not yet mentioned something about Ryany-wyony...

I voted for the 2005 premiership jumper.

Well if the red V will be used again this year, I'm for it. This whole '80s Heritage Round gimmick probably won't be as great as many expect it to be. I doubt they'd revert back to the rules that were imposed way back then either...

The sash, especially if it's randomly right shoulder / left hip or left shoulder / right hip depending on how your mum made it.

Now We're talking heritage....each player has to have a homemade jumper out of that coarse woollen stuff out of which they used to be made.

They then have to be boiled and bleached to within an inch of their lives in order to get them white again after playing in the chocolate soil at Scottsdale. My brother played for City-South a Launceston team with the same strip as South Melbourne. The other teams all had black or navy/royal blue in their strips..very sensible. Plus there was the butchers clothing to clear of blood etc. Jeepers I'm glad I'm single and didn't have footballers.

I would have thought 'heritage round' should be whatever strip the club wore in their first competition game, in whatever league it may be, rather than arbitrarily choose a period in the clubs history.

I voted for the hoops.

seeing as we are playing richmond in the heritage round id like to see the white with red sash

id like to see the white with red v as our "alternate' strip from next season, if the afl enforce the "alternate " policy

what would be even better would be to see the heritage round for the bloods played in melbourne, or is the club worried there will be a groundswell of support for the return of the club back to south melbourne
