West Coast Pirates Bid News

[The Great Dane]

Try the warl, they had a couple of boxes of the SL reds jerseys last year, inc some game worn ones. $20 each! Not sure if they have any left but worth an email.

Thanks for that PR, and I hope they do have some left because I've been looking for one for sometime now, and I have tracked a few down, but their owners have all been asking upward of $500 for a standard of the rack supporters jersey and quite frankly they're not worth that much, if they were game worn or had a bunch of rare signatures on them I might be willing to pay that much but for a bare supporters jersey no way.

Anyway thanks for the tip and I hope you bought a few if they were $20 bucks!

Sadly I only got one or I'd have let you have one! When I saw how much they sell for on eBay I wish I had bought the box load!

I wonder if they have any of the old WA double-chevron? My favourite RL jersey of all time!:music2:

Congratulations to our U16's Jnr Acaddemy who became the first ever team to wear the West Coast Pirates jersey when they travelled to Sydney on a 2 week development tour. The boys played 3 games, visited the new RL HQ and got to meet the NSW SOO Emerging squad. Great effor by the lads in all the games and outstanding to see them get the Pirates first ever win! Well done WARL for organising. Things like this will help the kids choose RL instead of RU!

Results:
v Manly Harold Mathews lost 32-18
v Manly Harold Mathews lost 12-0
v SWSA WON 12-32

This one?

Nope, but it's similar. It's a black and gold version of the Kangaroo jersey with an added gold yolk above the V; there are stripes on the arm also.

Cheers,
Matty

That looks a little like the Warriors jersey they'll play in Wellington vs. the Bulldogs. Nice simple design with two colours is what most teams should use as a template

How about a heritage throwback then? :mrgreen:

If I can get reference photos. I'm making it a point of mine to make accurate reproductions.

Okay fellas, found a couple of shots; the only thing that would vary really was the WARL logo and the addition of the WA coat-of-arms. Sometimes the short-sleeve version would have the three stripes moved up the sleeve so all three would be visible on the short sleeves. Other times it was plain black short-sleeves with a gold cuff. There were two stripes on the sides of the shorts.

Still looks good after all these years!

Cheers,
Matty

3 chevrons is unusual but does look good!

I know about three or four of those guys. The try scorer could of been anything if wasn't for injury.

Makes you wonder, what may have been if they stuck with Perth instead of going with Melbourne. How would we have benefited from removal of the Rams, Crushers, Gold Coast, Mariners, Norths and the creation of joint ventures. We had a pretty good State team and strong local competition back in the early 90's.

Cheers,
Matty

 

[GAZF]

Cool, any idea what the coat of arms is?

 

[chibimatty]

These ones mate:

I also think that the v design went across the shoulders to the top of the back, similar to the Roosters.

nib stadium redevelopment is on track and on budget (a miracle for a WA Govt project!). Looking good. Shame we don;t have a NRL game to open it!!
