that & "the eagle is angry" motto don't make much sense to me...

Otherwise, WWTFC seem to have everything else covered nicely- merchandise, buying on-line products which benefit the club spring to mind.

Perhaps the Eagle was angry as it lost all those GFs to Central?
They should change the motto now they've won last year's flag to something like "the Eagles is slightly miffed still but content"?
that's all I could come up with too (or maybe the eagle is angry that the players wore brown slacks with their Blue shirts in one of the worst fashion faux pas ever?).
Now explain the cartoon vulture...

In all seriousness I just had a browse of the new website, there's some great content. I actually preferred the look of the previous site though as it involved their colours more but now its predominately white. Still, makes it easy to read, and once again, great content, good to see clubs improving their sites and realise how important they are.

I think Torrens had the stripes, similar to the Woodville heritage guernsey that's being worn this year. Also had the small Eagle on the breast.


No, Torrens did not have the stripes, only the braces guernsey.

The guernseys I know of are:
Sash - up until c.1930
Braces - 1930s'
Sash - 1940s' to 1954
Large Eagle - 1955 to 1970
"Canary" Eagle - 1971 to 1973
Braces - 1974 to 1976
Sash - 1977 to 1990


Once again from The Farmer Files there is a photo of North v Torrens from 1938 and Torrens are wearing the sash.
So that considering the other photo is from 1937 it seems Torrens started wearing the sash in 1938.
Spelly any clues on what years Torrens wore the "reserve" sash? (Gold jumper blue sash). I'm guessing it would have been during the 1910's and 20's from photos I've seen.


Not from what I know. But the extra info you have provided is:
"Reverse sash" - c.1910-20
Sash - up until c.1930
Braces - c.1933-37
Sash - 1938 to 1954
Large Eagle - 1955 to 1970
"Canary" Eagle - 1971 to 1973
Braces - 1974 to 1976
Sash - 1977 to 1990
