Same as last year then.

Yep Magic although last year was the late 70s (I think). Here's last year's anyway. Spot the difference lol. I think the sash was more golden in the 80s.

2005 Heritage jumper

[Mr Magic]

Dramatic difference.

Maybe that could be our alternative strip too.

The spiel about the heritage jumper is on the AFL site:

Richmond

The Tigers thrashed Collingwood to win the 1980 flag, but soon lost the core of that all-conquering unit and by the end of the decade they were rattling tins in order to 'Save their Skins'. Poor recruiting, tight finances and a ridiculous turnover of coaches made Punt Road a depressing and unstable placed to be.

80s Record - W:102 L:122 D:1 – 82.92%

80s MVP: Dale Weightman - Much like Flower at Melbourne, it seemed as if Weightman was the Tigers' only genuine star and he revelled in the chance of showcasing his talents on the big stage for Victoria where he would become one of the Big V's greatest players.

Cult figure: Michael Mitchell

One-hit (match) wonder: Tony Pastore - 1987

The jumper: The black jumper with yellow sash remains but the sash will be a slightly darker yellow with lace up stitching straight down the middle of the jumper as worn by many of the 1980 premiership team.

Yep the Flea was our only champion in those years. Loyal to the core  .

What tight finances!  ??? We overspent then like there was no tomorrow  .

ps. And just to be a smartbehind as Moi would say - 1980 isn't technically part of that decade  .

Where are you coming from MT? ???
Do you still live in the 20th century? ???
Technically it is but in traditional thinking it isn't
Thats what this smartbehind thinks anyway

Decades, centuries and millenia start on the 1 not 0. There was no year 0. Like I said I was being a pedantic smartbehind  .

[Mopsy]

Everything starts from scratch MT
