Sturt's Alternate Strip for 2011

[gadj1976]

Disagreed Gadj, especially after watching another gruelling match of Rugby Union tonight.

What I can't work out is how Sturts guernseys look so terrible yet the Warratahs's jersey looks so great with similar colours.

Hold the boat. We're not talking about the same thing. Sabre says they couldn't "fight" with a rugby union player. That's a massive generalisation I'm sorry.

I love Union, it's a fantastic sport, but to say that as a generalisation is just dumb.

Is someone trying to say the Tahs are effeminate? Yet they can fight someone of lesser leagues? Contradiction alert!!!!

[Jimmy]

in a street fight, clearly the bigger union folks will destroy the aussie rules blokes...these days, the aussie rules blokes (mainly AFL brand) are wrapped in cotton wool and there is hardly any contact unlike the old days...

maybe in the 80's the aussie rules blokes could of taken a rugly bloke but not likely.

PS: sturts guernsey is ******* awesome.

[Wedgie]

I know who I'd prefer running at me out of Scotty Bamford and Jonah Lomu!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Geez, talk about apples and oranges. At least Aussie Rules players have da skillz. I would back a couple of SANFL players to hold there own against some RU gorillas. The Gowans boys could take some of those skittish wingers.

[therisingblues]

Looks like something a Smurf would wear, worse than even Freo's guernsey!! The laughing stock of ALL football codes in Australia (if not world-wide)!!!

Uh-oh! "Somebody-please-hate-Norwood-Fester" is back.

The Sturt guernsey is one of the best in the world.
I say ONE of the best now, because since we were made to give up the old lace up design, somehow the light blue colour was changed to a lighter blue. The old Sturt guernsey was THE best in football.

Somebody tell him he's dreaming!!

[Barto]

If we're going to be all primary school about this and say Sturt's guernsey isn't masculine, let's put red and white together

[Ian]

I should have put the at the end of mine as well, it's all subjective, after reading that post all I could think of was that advertising slogan

[Wedgie]

If it helps I preferred the different colour Sturt guernsey prior to the 90s, that looked a lot better.

[redden whites]

Gay ...................no other explanation needed.

Looks great!

The big Holden sign might even confuse a few dogs players in an away game And it will look even better with navy shorts..

Skills is another thing, we win at that but it's all about theexpectations of the game itself.

The gowns only act tough, they wouldn't stand a chance v a meat head. Lol

[whufc]

Talk about walking billboard!

So you must be barracking for North this year...they have a pink seagull and a pink duck playing for them...both capable of sniping too, apart from collecting hot chips

[SABRE]

Well said JAS. Gentlemen, you can say whatever you like about the Sturt strip,
but as someone who has actually played Rugby Union, let me say this.
I love Aussie Rules as the most physically demanding and skillful game
ever devised on this planet. However, the upper body strength, toughness
and combat required to play Rubgy Union and League at the highest levels
means that these men, in general, in a fight, could utterly destroy most
Australian Rules players 2 to one on any given day !!!
Different games and different strokes, for different folks ladies ... guaranteed !!!

Luv,
SABRE

What an absolute load of garbage. Talk about making stupid comments..... this ranks up there with the best.

Mission accomplished 'gadj'.
I was just stirring the pot after an earlier demeaning comment about rugby.
Let me be more specific. I liken Australian Rules players to back line players
in Rugby, they need to be tough, fast and agile. Of course they could hold
their own against each other if things turned nasty. But very few backline
players would take on international front row forwards and props, that would
be suicidal. These guys are built and trained to do maximum damage for their
countries. That’s what I meant about Aussie Rules blokes, they can’t afford to
be built like muscle bound gorillas. They need speed. In fighting language
they’re ‘light to middle weights’ and could never be expected to take on
‘heavy’ or ‘super heavy weights’.

We’ve had the odd bloke who would probably mix it with these rock heads,
names like Colosante, Balme, Davies, Nicholls, Sidebottom, Ditterich, but we
only have the occasional player with these dimensions and demeanour.
Most international Rubgy Union teams have 5 or 6 of these giants mate.
Have you seen some of the ‘Basque’ goliaths that have played for France?

There have been huge players with very scary military backgrounds too.
I guess the sarcasm meter was turned too high with the 2 to 1 comment,
but the thought occurred to me that putting your average Aussie Rules player
toe to toe and trying to trade blows with an international rugby forward,
would be a little like throwing Jeff Fenech and Anthony Mundine in the ring
with Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali.
Minced meat.

Honestly, Sturts guernsey is just like most others. Any strip looks pretty
good to the punters when they're winning games and premierships.

[HOORAY PUNT]

GUERNSEY , next they'll be called shirts or singlets.

[DOC]

GUERNSEY , next they'll be called shirts or singlets.

Well, a guernsey is a knitted woolen jumper so their not that.

Are you saying it's not called a 'guernsey'...so 'putting on a guernsey' when he played will be something else my dh of a father has been lying to me about my whole life then...oooh hang on...probably not just mine either...

In Australia, the word "guernsey" is used to describe the usually sleeveless shirt worn by Australian rules football players, although the word “jumper” is also commonly used. The top worn by National Rugby League and Australian Rugby Union players is more commonly called a jersey, though it is still frequently called a guernsey, often interchangeably. As an extension of this tradition, the expression "to get a guernsey" is a metaphor for being selected for something or to gain recognition for an achievement.

Rugby players are bred and trained for a specific role and that type of game and build appeals to a specific type....thick necked apes.
I admire some of the skills of rugby but occasionally when I watch the NSW Footy Show it is clear that they are not overly intelligent.
Rugby allows you to see what is coming at you front on in most instances but Australian football you dont as often see what is coming at you. It takes more courage to go at the ball not knowing who is about to smash you e.g the Great mark of Kieth Thomas in the 1997 GF ........that is courage !

I hear the Muster players are world renowned as the most moronic players on earth.
Ha ha sorry Jas just stirring.
