Why do Richmond supporters love to the sash so much?  It is not as if it was an original design:  Essendon had worn a red sash on black since 1875.  Yet there is something about the broad yellow strip.  It is extremely simple, but stands out on the black background. 

For generations of devotees, it evokes the powerful qualities of the tiger – pride, boldness,  courage and ferocity.  Players’ chests look larger and more muscular. 

This motif adorns all of the men preserved for posterity in the photographs of Richmond’s premiership sides.  For those who love the Tigers, the yellow sash punching out of black is at the very core of their devotion’.

If the Tigers need more motivation for this Friday night’s clash with Essendon, the Clash of the Sash match is also a celebration of one of the most revered aspects of being a Tiger – the jumper.

2014 marks 100 years since the Tigers started wearing their iconic black jumper, with its distinguished yellow sash, which today runs across the hearts of each Richmond player.
