I hate clubs that bugger around with thier jumpers, make it too detailed, plaster club emblems all over the front of them etc.
Also there has never in the history of australian rules been a jumper design that is majority white that looks good, they all look rubbish.
Houghton, Kenilworth, Kilburn (although they may have changed since i saw thier last one), all rubbish jumpers with too much crap on them. Also Unley because dark blue and black look too similar. Haven't seen north pines actually play but the picture of that jumper is woeful, also Mitchell Park, look like a bunch of toffee apple lollies (remember the toffee apple lollies you could get at the deli?) running around a footy oval.
um..exactly what rubbish on them?did you have beer goggles on 3 weeks ago when we played you guys? dont we have stripes? that you refer to as ".and vertical stripes are always good for those of us that enjoy one too many pies!".we cant all have red and black stripes..thats so original well done for creativity..and how many red and black bulldogs have you seen ? didnt you play for a club that has a twistie packet as its colours?..glasshouses...how quickly they forget
Yes morphies jumpers are absolutely horrid, but they arent in the SAAFL last time i checked, so therefore dont get a mention. Don't you guys, or didnt you guys at one stage have a kookaburra on the front of your jumper? thats the one i'm talking about.
Also Sydney Uni is another side i played for and they had royal blue and gold hoops, not cool!!
In answer to your question, zero is the number of other red and black bulldogs i've seen apart from plympton, so yes i'd say that it has a touch of originality to it, seeing most of them are red white and blue.
well we played plympton 3 weeks ago so if you cant remeber what guernsey we wore then you have lost your credibilty already..yes we did have a kookaburra on the front..about 4 years ago but we dont wear it now..so if we have chanegd why did you mention us as a rubbish jumper?
morphies arent in the saafl correct, but you played for them and hence you wore that shocking guernsey..thus..glasshouses
like i said..red and black stripes..very original..and the club emblem is a bulldog..also original, we had 4 x bulldog clubs last year in div 5..boring..a red and black bulldog lol..someone wasnt very creative down there were they?
Number 1, didn't get up close to your jumper three weeks ago, and from what i could tell after half time, nor did the football. The last jumper i saw up close did have the kookaburra on it. I was not aware that my 'credibility' was under review when posting comments that are not all that important in the whole scheme of things, but you obviously believe that they are.
Number 2, the thread is names 'Best and Worst Guernsey's in the SAAFL, which is why i did not include Morphettville Park, as explained earlier. I felt that i may have needed to explain it again to you. In my explaination i stated that the jumpers were 'horrid' thus confirming that i think they look bad, most probably above and beyond anything that Kenilworth has produced. There you go, score 1 point for the kooka's. Still unsure about glasshouses when i stated that they were no good as well.
Number 3, when plympton were founded in 1936 by my great grandfather i doubt, and this may have been his downfall, that he would have envisaged that in 2008-9 they would play in a competition that had three of four other bulldogs in it. How silly of him to not think that far ahead.
The red and black striped jumper was borrowed from West Adelaide, at the time i believe Westies were using the verticals, West Adelaide Club officials of the day said if you guys last more than one season you can keep them, and thus that is why we have the jumpers that we do. The reason my great grandfather went to Westies is because he was originally from melbourne (coburg to be exact) and was a bombers supporter and he wanted red and black.
The reason for the bulldog was fairly simple, they didnt have an emblem and one of the founding members said that he had a framed picture of a bulldog in his shed, and the club then became the bulldogs.
Now Zeds, where did the chocolate, blue, and white originate from, apart from a farmers union carton? and why are you the kookaburras??
