"Red V, Minties jersey, butchers stripes...."

[RL1908]

Just doing a bit of a delve into jerseys. Do any of your club's old jersey designs have nicknames?

I know Souths have "the Minties" jersey of mid 1980s. "The Red V" is obvious.

Is "blood & bandages" tag for all hooped Saints jerseys, or just the one akin to Canterbury's "butchers stripes" design?

Any others at your club (or pre-merger club)?

Yeah the Knights original jersey is refered to as the Henny Penny jerseys

The club's first major sponsor was Henny Penny which is a local chain of Take Away Chicken outlets

Blood and bandages only refers to the even stripes, not the current heritage design "butchers stripes".

Blood and bandages:

This one had a few nicknames, I think the Wolverine was the most widely used

Goodo! Thanks for confirming the difference.

Is that 'Wolverine' aka 'Itchy & Scratchy'? Very amusing tag!

Yep they were the two most common nicknames, there was also the "Freddy Kruger". For a historical club with such a proud history of jerseys...it was not our finest hour! No wonder it found itself in the waste bin after a year.

Although it may have been an elaborate plot, because even the most one-eyed St.George Dragons fan was supportive of having the Steelers design as our alternate instead of the Wolverine. Smoke and mirrors perhaps!!

Start talking about the diamond or aqua jerseys to any Bronco's fan and they'll know exactly what you're talking about.

I thought that one was called the "Harlequins" jumper, Lockyer??

Yeah, looks like a jester costume

Spotting diamonder jerseys at Suncorp is great fun

Don't think I've heard that one but I do like it

The early raiders jersey was known as the lime spider. Believe it or not it was a lighter and brighter green then the present Canberra jersey.

What do Souths and Freddie Kruger have in common? They can only achieve anything in their dreams.
