        I think they must have found a few cartons of caps lost back in the '80s and then embroidered them. With all the designs available I don't know why we had to go retro, and bad retro at that.

              I have a theory that this is because the Swans have realized we all have enough caps, so this will be the last year we get one

                I thought it was because they ordered a run of 100,000 or so and so they will hand out the same ones next year

                Must say it's better than last year's at least.

                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.

                        There were plenty of them on the TV last night. It is red with a white stripe down the middle.

                          I don't like the hats much this year. The "Arsenal" red white red design seems to make my head look really broad & squished (insert comment from Cow here...... ) The make is different too. The peak is split into 3 thirds as opposed to a normal cap's 2 halves. Henceforth it tends to go down at a different angle from that of last year's hat. The white band in the middle in my view is too wide so it makes the hat looks out of whack.

                          Also it doesn't have the year on it as well. If the white band were narrower & there was more an emphasis on red than white, I think it would make us all look better in a group (ie a collective sea of red). It is still a high quality hat. I just don't like the way it looks when you put it on.

                          Maybe next year we can all get funky bucket hats instead? Or a scarf like Doggies Hawthorn or Melbourne members do. I've gotten fond of my red North Adelaide bucket hat. I might put a Swans logo on the back of it as well so it can suffice as a dual team hat.

                          Still the fact we get members hats are great. It is an idea the Swans started & other teams in other codes have all copied; Kings, Sydney Fc & most of the NRL clubs hand out members caps these days.

                          The amount of vivid colour you see in the stadium is just awesome. We have such an advantage over clubs with drab colours like West Coast that our red sticks out like a sore thumb, especially where there are 3 bays of us all sitting together like they were at the 2005/6 GFs.

                          Am I the only person who has about 8-9 Swans/AFL hats at the moment? Is choosing which one to wear an often troublesome experience?

                            They hand out caps to all those backpackers who sit in Bay 21 as part of their game day package. That would be 300-500 caps per match.

                            Wonder if that lot will be able to come this season, considering Bay 21 is a pile of rubble these days.
