Charity Shield Jersey is Black!

[Godz Illa]

Well there you have it Willow. We'll call the black jersey (if it happens) the 'Sans Souci throwback'

Sorry I didnt mean to start a war, The bloke with the jerseys looked like he was getting them signed for a charity auction or something. He had 5 and a gold pen, He was going to sell them for sure...

nah don't worry about it, got a few people talking, just thought we were going to be men in black 3.

I cant wait to see what these black jerseys look like!

maybe they are just wearing the Freddy Kruger alternate jersey with the st george foundation sponsorship on the front instead of the St George Bank? I asked Dousty about the black jersey and he told me I wasn't versed in reality..............

I suspect the Sans Souci Gentlemens Hosiery Emporium had a sale on black dacks and stockings that year.

I would like to see black shorts and socks coupled with the blood and bandages for the away strip. It's different yet traditional. Red, white and black is a great combination.

And despite its use by the Panthers and Warriors, black remains an unmistakably neutral colour in my view.

Willow, I think I've also seen pictures of Saints teams from the 60s or 70s wearing black shorts. Possibly something to do playing teams with white shorts and needing a clear difference for the benefit of black and white TV.

St George wore black shorts v Manly, S.C.G., 16-Jun-1973. I was at the game but have never found out why they were worn. Haven't seen them worn since..

The shorts bag was left at the leagues club.

They had to by the black shorts from the sports store across the rd from the SCG
