Jersey Talk - Mega Thread

[Rock Hopper Steve]

The pepper money writing is terrible but Id look by that and still buy one of each. But the blue shit on the sleeve stops me right there.

It's laughable the whole team supporting theme, when you walk around shopping centres you see blokes only wearing their colours after a win but feel embarrassment after loses and are not seen in them especially after a hiding.

Not many who proudly walk around in everyday life strutting their team.

Ha ha... I saw a guy at the shopping centre on Saturday wearing a Rabbitohs indigenous tank top, so I went up to him and booed him! 🤣

I said "Go Wests!" and he thought I was referencing the Village People or Pet Shop Boys song... 😳

I made that part up. Would've been funny though...

I said "Go Tigers!" and we had a laugh.

That's really what all this crap should be - good natured banter taken as... Three guesses....

Good natured banter.

Accept there are actual important things you could better spend your (positive) energy on.

Time and change is inevitable and the best way to deal with it is to simply channel your inner Bruce Lee and "be like water, my friend".

Now, if you would like to reply, please fax me on.... 🤣

P.S., I'm all aware of the irony/hypocrisy of having spent 20 minutes making a visual illustration with boolean operators on this; I did it with lighthearted intentions, not to further fan any flames.

Oh for sure, it's also bad when they defect to another team to experience winning more haha

Loving your recent posts TS

I never said they didn't have a white strip. They used this in the first few weeks because of the heat. A white strip goes back to the Victa days. 3/4 of the season They wore black though.

Before the "Victa" days, the alternate white was in use before sponsorship.

That's the form of a fickle NRL supporter, and it doesn't surprise me if there's more out there than what we think.

Talk about mindless sheep with no character following success, makes you want to puke.

When did they first wear white?
I remember as a kid loving the new reversed strip

You're not wrong about that blue shit, it's hideous Brydens logo like level.

Got an email saying my jerseys have left the store so delivery any day now.

Nobody associates the Magpies with white. No tie in whatsoever. The club have f%#@ up here unfortunately.

First time I remember was maybe in 1975 or 76, remember the great photo in Big League magazine of John Dorahy stepping in the weekend results section, we beat Manly 18-0 at Lidcombe Oval.

I liked the white, probably one of the first clubs to have a regular alternate strip.

Just looked it up, that game was round 13 on 15th June 1975, game was in June so dispels the theory that it was only used in warm weather.

Looks around 75 or 76, think that's Geoff Foster on the left, John Dorahy and Dallas, not sure who is on the right.

Took a closer look at the photo, noticed it has the new emblem which debuted in 1978, the Victa sponsorship also began in 78 but from memory wasn't until a few rounds into the season, so this could be either an early Amco Cup game or possibly the pre-season night competition (called the Wills Cup from memory) in 78.

They actually looked pretty good.

Never knew Des Hasler played for Wests until now. Googled him, and after 28 minutes on the Dress Hassler wiki, made my way to his page and saw he played his final year with them in '97. Super League's only season.

It's turned into quite an interesting thread with all the knowledge being shared! 😊

The Goldstar sponsorship as worn by Des in that photo was that companies early entry into the Australian market, now known as LG.

Never been keen on purchasing the jerseys, but the white one has me interested.

For those who have purchased it, what is sizing like? I'm normally a Large for a baggy/loose fit for regular clothing, would this be the same?
