They should also wear stick on leg-o-mutton sideburns - do we have a safari jacket style jersey or a paisley print? Roos has to come out of the coaches box in a nice pair of ball cracker flaired jeans with a purple body shirt and 3 foot wide tie that has a print of a women sitting on the bonnet of a vintage car. - it must be authentic.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

AGE IS ONLY IMPORTANT FOR TWO THINGS - WINE & CHEESE!
At least he doesn't have to do much about his hair.
As for the jersey, it'll most likely be our usual heritage jersey as it's '70s round. That orange jumper should never be worn again...
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!
Go the orange... It is just Sooooo 70's... What a cracker...
For that orange jumper, did they wear black, white or orange shorts?
Didn't realise we were playing Freo. I guess Freo won't be wearing their usual heritage jersey then.

IIRC it was white shorts orange socks. But I could be wrong.
Does God believe in Atheists?
This is a great idea for the next heritage round. Each club has to wear its most obscure jumper. Maybe only used once. Sydney would be the orange one for sure. Carlton could wear their M&M jumpers.
Be really funny.
The orange one is so bad it's cool retro! I've often wondered why the Dockers never wore their jumper from their vey first game in the AFL. It's their current jumper with the purple and green swapped, so predominently green. I know it's celebrate the 70's this season, but it would solve the problem. They wore this one for most of their first season as their away jumper. And if we're not going to wear the old South V then the one with the sash has to be it, coz that's where the name Blood Stained Angels stemmed from (Essendon were also known as the Blood Stained N-Words for a short period. Truth) or check some red stripes up the side from the Capper era.
I like the 1921 all-red, however since it is our home game I think the Dockers should be made to change to avoid the colour clash.
That orange one from '78 is a disgrace.
Freo should wear a '70s style East Fremantle jersey, blue & white and I think it resembles something similar to the Kangaroos jersey.
Is it really as far back as 1996 that they wore the red and white vertical stripes as the heritage guernsey. I have a vivid recollection of them wearing it in one game but it seems to me to be a more recent memory.
