Eagle News #8 - Woodville Heritage Day + Jumper Auction Info

[Hondo]

Thought the Warriors guernsey looked rubbish back then but it actually looks fantastic now - ahead of their time like the Jetsons

Just quoting you zip zap due to the jumper .
My 19 yo who never saw either team play pre merger remarked on the clash jumper and the warrior jumper appearing similar.

IIRC the new clash jumper was meant to honour that particular Woodville strip

[cd]

Hondo - the home and clash jumper has the green yoke along with the eagle on the chest to put the best of the 2 foundation clubs together on both jumpers.

All this abt winning 2 meaning less grand finals , a night gf and coca cola cup gf no wonder they were a joke

I've often wondered about this point, but never really thought of the right place to ask it, but what i was wondering was of the regular WWT supporters on this site, which of you guys followed Woodville before 91 and which barracked for West Torrens? I know you're all the one club now, and i realise your future is as WWT, so not trying to be controversial or disrespectful, just wondering..

West Torrens prior to 91
Eagles Post 91.

The club are to be commended with the heritage days & guernseys.

If anyone is wondering why some of the jumpers on eBay have a high starting price check out the details
For example #15 will be signed by Zack Hier who wore it yesterday plus Malcolm Blight who wore that number Warrior Jumper in the 1980s. There are a few specials like this.

Prices start from $60 for most up to $250
Some already with 9 bids on them
8 days to go for this auction

i say do it every year, keep the tradition of both clubs alive, even wear old WWT eagles jumpers, from the 90's, still think the best jumper we have had was the 06 premiership jumper, it was unique, should have kept it

[cd]

From Spelly's post above you can see we have covered the 2 foundation clubs jumpers so that has now finished.

Honouring the WWTFC history with say our first jumper, the premiership jumpers etc. will be considered in the future.

Not sure 2009 Heritage round at this point in time.

Didn't we wear the 93 jumper in one of the clubs many wins over sturt during another Heritage round CD
Don't mind if we do wear it again

[Aerie]

Well done to the WWTFC on doing the heritage jumpers for the last few years. It's been great to recognise both the clubs and I'm sure many people appreciate it. Hopefully they do something similar again in the future, but think it's smart to give it a break for a while - loses its meaning when done all the time.

That was the 1991-92 guernsey in Round 3 2005. I'd love to see the 1993-97 one again.

Spot on and agreed, I think the Eagles have done a fantastic job in recent years as far as recognising their past and looking to their future.
Even though they're having an off year Im sure it wont continue as the Eagles never cease to amaze me with their professionalism.

5 days to go with auction on ebay - still bargains there - currently all fall between $60 and $250.

Why did the home team wear white shorts ?

[am Bays]

Because the Eagles home shorts are blue not green like Woodville wore. So tehy wore white shorts like Woodvlle used to wear occasionally.

I mean could've borrowed some of Marion FC

[smac]

There may have been a stuff up, like when Centrals wore the white guernsey last season. Jax sports didn't get the red shorts made in time so we had to play in the white ones.
