That's really cool.. looks like there's side-panels with a design too.

From purely aesthetic considerations, IMO Aboriginal art has mixed results when used all over a jersey - it looks great up close - REALLY great up close, but a lot of the fine detail is lost in long shots, and its asymmetrical nature doesn't help in that regard - as opposed to some of the Maori / Pacific Island designs that are big, bold & symmetrical.

It looks like this design has symmetry too.. which is a bit unusual for an indigenous design jersey.

I’d agree with that. Kinda like the Aboriginal style falls into an art category while Maori fits in to the Graphic design realm.

1998 Magpies?
Surely you jest. That post-SL design just has the sad aura of decay & defeat about it.

Yes! The rare away jersey is a thing of beauty too - and it's mostly red to match the club name as well...

IMO a future Perth team should have a gold/yellow/burnt yellow home jersey - maybe the crushers "mustard yellow" - and a mostly red one (with black, yellow, white trim) like this as away.

Kinda funny how 2 of the 1995 expansion teams had asymmetrical designs with vertical stripes, mind you there were some pretty unusual design trends happening all over the place in the mid-90s - vertical lines, striped yokes, random trim colours (eg Tigers adding purple at one stage, Manly adding blue and red trim for the Pepsi jersey)....

I imagine this would be selling like hotcakes right now.

What, with all the goodwill currently enjoyed by this proud ol’ club/2.

Seriously though, as an outsider, I like the Illawarra-ish strip getting a start onfield, but it needs the white shorts in tandem.
