“Nothing says you’ve been a diehard supporter like a jersey from 1996,” he said.
“And jerseys from that era are hard to find. You used to be able to get them from op shops like Vinnies or Le Rogue Della Cross – but now that they’re as hip as owning a Volvo 240L wagon, they’re much harder to find.”
Banjo Clemente’s beloved St George (Illawarra) Dragons are breathing fire at the moment after crushing the Broncos at home this week which means the 34-year-old city worker needs to get behind them.
Originally hailing from the aspirational belt of town, up on the Betoota Heights bypass, young Banjo moved down into the French Quarter to attend art school.
Coupled with his parent’s high-disposable income and middle-class-student love of defrauding the welfare office, Banjo and his peers were systemically responsible for driving French Quarter rents skyward and pushing the original residents into a less-desirable part of our shire.
“That’s just a part of life, supply and demand. Capitalism,” said NRL CEO Dr Todd Greenberg.
Mr Greenberg spoke to our reporter this morning via telephone to discuss the latest release from the sports entertainment giant.
“For the finals, we’re re-releasing our ‘retro’ jerseys. However, this time around we’re calling them the ‘gentrification’ jerseys for all the inner-city bandwagon fans that seem to spring up every September,”
“And this is just another part of capitalism. If people are willing to pay $119.95 for a jersey they’ll wear once or twice then leave it for the moths to eat, then we’ll supply them,”
“It’s just a part of life.”
