    2013 guernseys

    At the risk of being called a voyeur, I want to thank whoever designed the team guernseys this year. Thank you for making them shorter and more, err, figure-hugging. Our boys are damn fit and it shows!

    We were counting their ribs today. How they get into those jumpers is one thing, how the hell they get out of them is another. Some of the boys need a good feed! Sam's shoulders don't fit inside the sleeves, nor does Drey's. Not that I am perving or anything, I am just saying.....

    Far better than those ones back in the '90s with the silly floppy collars.

    Off, but on topic - I note after a bit of griping last year from the R&W faithful regarding the similarities between the Swans and the Suns guernsey from behind, it looks like the Suns have followed the advice of this website and move to yellow numbering. As suggested at the time, their strip looks much better.

    I was thinking of asking the Swans that the policy of tight fitting garments be extended to the support staff especially the refreshments personnel.
    ..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

    Just as long as the policy doesn't extend to members. It could get ugly.

    As one who has griped a lot about the Suns guernsey, I too have noticed the yellow numbering. It also looks as if their yellow side bar is wider and more prominent this year. While I still think they should have chosen a yellow/gold guernsey with a red side bar and numbers + red shorts (just like lifesavers) their 2013 guernsey is a big improvement. And I really like their new clash guernsey which they wore when they played us at the SCG. Very smart and very distinctive.

    They unintentionally started that years ago with the guernsey they gave to Mr Hatley!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
