white collars, white cuffs; best case scenario. We Are Back.

Traditional is best

[Jacks Back]

I think Savauge has a crush on Newness.

[desertsaint]

the 'toilet seat collar' or 'babybib collar' doesn't really appeal.

2009 still our best in recent times. Never got used to the white when changed in 2010, The next change with the black grew on me and I bought one Now we are back to this. The neck looks like crap to be honest. But its irrelevant isn't it? lol

Yep, very happy to have the white back but couldn't agree more strongly about the toilet seat !! Hate the look but love your quote

I think they look pretty cool. We've been using a lot of white recently with our branding of "by the sea" kind of lightness and "bright future" so this fits in. You need a bit of change each year and I think this is a cool change up. I prefer a v collar but the rounded one is ok. I like the way we have "Dare" smack ban on the players jumper - could be our very raison d'etre this year

They've been pretty ordinary since 2011. Sadly, the 2017 design isn't really an improvement on the last. Whoever designs these needs to be fired. Why can't they go back to making the white panel wider and bringing back the larger club crest. Glad I bought a '66 replica guernsey to wear to the footy.

Has Armo had a wisdom tooth removed? Or has he been stung by a bumble bee? Bit of swelling evident on the cheekbone.

Love the chiseled facial features on Jill Newnes......... looks like he's been scorching around the running track this off season, not just swanning around UK & Europe. He must be wanting to pip Gears in the 3km!

Loris, why are you focussed on Armo's appearance? I see nothing untoward or unusual.

[Winmar7]

The black(er) jumpers were far better, this new design (with more white) will increase the confusion with mostly white clash jumpers worn by opposing teams...

Why can't they just play around with the pre-season strips and leave the home jumper the way it is, grrr...

[Goose is king]

McClunken looks slim in his on the st kilda instagram account. Big year ahead

[magnifisaint]

Maybe this is better

Just announced on SEN

WOW, don't buy any of this merchandise, as BLK went into liquidation yesterday!!

Saints mustn't have done their homework to well on this one.

Saw an English team with same jumper sponsor
6 AFL Teams involved

[saintbrat]

AFL also affected with Umpires and Draft apparel supplied by BLK

[stkfc1]

I heard from a mate in the industry a while back that BLK were in trouble so I was surprised to hear they were a new partner. Hopefully not to big an issue for the club to get someone else. Just hope we haven't blown next years budget on merchandise already.

[lefty]

Nothing was wrong with the previous supplier, nfi the fascination with BLK

[Griggsy]

Its the Parent Co, so couldn't someone buy BLK off them so the parent can pay their creditors and not have interruption to supply.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Might be a good opportunity to get rid of the toilet seat collar.

[8856brother]

Timing impeccable. Just like the Carlisle trade. If it wasn't so serious it would almost be humorous.

I was thinking the same thing, stkfc1. We only signed with them a week or so ago, so we may be able to escape relatively unharmed. Puzzling that we took them on in terms of the timing. If others had heard the rumours, surely someone at the club doing the due dilligence on them would've too.
