    Socks

    Has the club decided to go back to wearing hooped socks permanently? If so, what was the reasoning for this decision? They look terrible, and on top of that we seem to have a pretty poor record when wearing them!

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

        I prefer the red ones. The red and white hooped socks make them look like they are wearing candy canes

              If they're gonna wear those socks each game, lets go back to the The Red Vee on the jumpers.

                The hooped socks only look good when paired up with a white back/white shorts. Otherwise it looks weird, mixing the solid red with the red/white hoops.

                177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                  I don't thing the socks are high on the list of priorities at
                  the club at the moment. Unless they have a sock sponsor
                  proposal to consider.

                    I would suggest playing good footy is the highest priority right now.

                        That looked unreal, I still want the opera house on it, they are our team, and that's our icon, but what I have hated is how over the years we have gone from blood red to almost fluorescent pink, the red just gets brighter and lighter all the time. Our jersey in their current format would look 100% better with the blood red colour.
                        I hear not what you say, for the thunder of who you are.

                          I like the socks...

                          Why dont we have an away jumper?

                            When looking the reasons we lost yesterday I was looking at lack of commitment and fitness as the cause but sill me it was the socks all the time. Change back to the red and its back to back flags

                              I'd love the socks but don't really care what they wear as long as they win!
