A post in the thread about the Swans vs WA Anchors heritage jumper clash got me to thinking bout a heritage round one off of/little used jumper/pre-season/just bloody terrible jumpers that teams could wear. Who ever posted that comment sorry I forgot who you were, but it was a dam fine idea so here's some of mine. Any ideas or pics then chuck them in too.
Hawthorn: Can't go past that absolute disgrace of a jumper the wore in the pre-season in the 90's. Blue with brown and gold diamonds. It looked like a jockeys top or your Dads worst golf vest. They should team it with their shorts from the 70s that had to brown and gold stripes up either side. And their all gold socks.
Kangaroos: There white alternate jumpers from last year were pretty haggard, but the orange one they wore for a sponsorship deal a few years back is the worst. Fluro orange...noice.
Freo: Take your pick really. Their current jumper is hideous (their purple haze top is pretty cool though), I would go for the jumper with the adidas stripes in on the front and an anchor sort of diagonally across it.
Fitzroy/Brisbane: Fitzroys yellow shorts were just wrong when they wore those. They had a pre-season geurnsey which had what appeared to be intertwined streamers up the side and the lion on the front. It was similar to the VFL designs of the day and was apt because Fitzroy played like a VFL side during that era of the earl to mid 90s. Brisbane, well they were all bad really til they merged. But the one they wore heritage round last year was so bad it's good. With the triangle thing that was meant to be Queensland and BB on the front that had a little koala head in one of the Bs (?) it was bad, but it's soooo retro 80s that it would be the only non Swans jumper i'd consider buying. Dishonourable mention to last years alternate jumper which I read somewhere as being described as beetroot vomited on a yellow tablecloth. This years isn't much better.
Essendon: How bout their current alternate jumper with the red shorts. On a winner there lads.
St.Kilda: Again, a few hideous creations (current alternate jumper included). Their stupid barber shop one that made them look like Collingwood from a distance they wore the last few years was bad, but the winner here is the yellow jumper the wore as a sponsorship thing a few years ago was awful. Even their own supporters called it the vomit jumper.
Eagles: It's funny watching them ponce around in the yellow jumper yellow shorts thing, but the haggard arse rainbow jumper they wore a few years back takes the coke. It was the one they were wearing in the derby against the Dockers that errupted into chaos. One of the best fights ever ruined by those 'there's no place like home' jumpers. The Dockers probably wanted to hit them for showing their faces in them.
Richmond: Bit like Essendon, their current away jumper is pretty average. But then again, so is the team. And these guys last year put a few little v's up and down their jumpers in texta and tried to pass it off as a lace up replica.
Bulldogs: Went down the Fitzroy route at one stage with the VFLesque pre-season jumpers. And they wondered why they did no good? The tri colour hooped socks and red shorts from the 70s were great success.
Carlton: It's soooooo easy to say the M&Ms jumper in which they sold what little soul the had left, but the nod here goes to the heritage round jumper with the yellowish shoulder pad things that was meant to look like leather chamios. Nice try Blues, all it did was looked like your baby nephew had spewed custard all over you while you were holding him.
Adelaide: The alternate jumper with big sheild thing on the back was pretty crap. Then again, their licourice allsorts jumper isn't flash at the best of times.
Port: The pink abomination they wore in heritage round against Essendon a few years back was just criminal. They got slaughtered that night too. Last years away jumper with the picture of lightning on it was not pretty, neither is their normal jumper.
Geelong: Had a series of alternate jumpers through the 90s and 2000s, the worst being the one that was navy blue with 3 silver bands that were hard to see and faded out round the sides. With the big GFC insignia on the front they looked like a wannabe Carlton.
Melbourne: Some people hate their red jumpers. I don't mind them. I always laugh at their royal blue jumpers of the late 70s and early 80s. And yep, they dusted them off for heritage round last year and like the Melbourne teams of the era were beaten easily.
Collingwood: Right, here's a club that says 'we wont change our jumper for anyone!' Maybe the could wear their Escort cup white with black yoke jumpers from when they played Swan Districts. Or the swooping magpie pre-season jumper that looked very much like a Port Magipes jumper, or their one with a cartoon magpie and all the different types of stripes in the four panels. Or heres an idea, why don't they wear the jumper the wore before the wear sponsered by adidas? That's right, they changed their jumper for the almighty $ and on McGuires watch at that. The move to white stripes on black was part of their deal with adidas. So much for belief in the jumper and never changing.
South Melbourne/Sydney: Yeah, couldn't leave us out. The orange Escort cup one was bad, but my winner is a pre-season one that had red and white vertical stripes up until it hit the current opera house yolk. It combined the current jumper with the centenary round jumper and was pretty poor, especially with the white shorts that Plugger liked so much.
