Thoughts having seen it in the flesh in a game?

I understand the significance and why we wore it, but let's never wear it again

I do like the centenary shield logo though, I wouldn't mind if we got rid of the yellow centenary banner down the bottom and used it as our normal logo

Didn't hate it entirely.  Prefer the sash.

Prefer the sash. The sash is much more slimming than stripes on me. :lol

Shocker :banghead

The logo is great and I'd keep that

But the jumper = shocker

As a one off I didn't really care but the numbers were impossible to read from a distance. Should have had the white panel with black digits.

I heard at the game that all the centenary guernseys had sold out and there were heaps of kids/teenagers wearing them at the 'G. So I guess at least the club made some bucks out of the day.

Richo's centenary guernsey is going for $1,850. Browny's is next at $1,000.

Looks like out of respect Polak's guernsey isn't up for auction.
