The old Westmont Penfolds jersey with the silk red V and the little triangle under the Penfolds writing to complete the cut V effect. Back in the early to mid 80's the Westmont Penfolds jersey's that the players wore had silk red V's. These jerseys were very hard to come by in shops, I could not find any in any shops. A mate and myself ended up going to Westmont HQ at St Mary's with the intention of getting a genuine silk V Saints jersey with all the Penfolds sponsorship, numbers, badges and silk V. In the end still didn't get the silk V. Regretfully I did not hang on to that jersey, it definitely still would be my favourite. I do have collection of over 30 Saints Jersey's, most of them in mint condition.
I would love for Saints to wear the old silk V jersey on heritage weekend, when they wear a retro jersey. I would definitely be buying one.
I do like the old jersey from the 60's that had the full red V with the red and white St George emblem on the V
I do like this year's jersey with the full red V on it.
I do not like us wearing the scarlet jerseys. lol But I even have the retro Illawarra jersey that St George Illawarra wore in the early naughties. It is the old material too. I could become a collectable in the future.
I also have a limited edition picture on my bedroom wall signed by Norm Provan. It it titled The Pride Of The Dragons. Then underneath it says The Evolution Of Success since 1921, then underneath that, it has nine St George jerseys and their date showing a progression of how our jersey has evolved since 1921. It also has the blood and bandages jersey that we wore against the Poms when that thrashed us. We had to wear a different jersey when we played England because their our jersey and theirs were too similiar.
