try at least 3 years...1980 to 1982, went back to the traditional guernsey IIRC in the game the great one kicked 10...
have got budgets and SA Football worlds to prove that.
In fact the 1980 Carnival budget comes from a 1979 game so I think that gurnsey made its first appearance in 1979.
Not sure if we didn't go back in 83 or 84
I thought the current guernsey was brought back in 86 as part of the 1986 Bicentennial celebrations. IIRC the guernsey with white on it was used when we thrashed WA in Perth in 1985 (arguably our greatest state of origin team incl M Blight at full forward).
