They were a bit hard to tell from the Collingwood tops on TV. Other than that I don't mind what the preseason top looks like.

Just noticed this from the Age yesterday:

Richmond has added yellow side-panels to its silver clash/NAB Cup guernsey.

I have a copy of the paper at home - I'll scan it tonight and post it

I personally didn't like the original silver tops, but the yellow panels make them look even more distasteful IMO. We need some better people designing our tops  :help  :help  :help

Tigers find a Silver lining in NAB Cup

Tigers find a Silver lining in NAB Cup

All that glitters is not gold . . . in Richmond’s case, it’s most definitely silver.

For the second year in-a-row, leading Melbourne cab company, Silver Top Taxis, will sponsor the Tigers during the pre-season competition.

As part of this sponsorship deal for the NAB Cup, the Richmond players again will wear special silver jumpers, modified this year to feature yellow panels down the side and a black Tiger’s head on the front.

Silver Top Taxi Service provides depot services and communications to more than 1850 taxis throughout Melbourne, making it by far the largest fleet in the city.

The fleet comprises sedans, station wagons, 100 wheel-chair accessible taxis, 100 higher occupancy vehicles and 185 of the prestigious ‘Silver Service’ cars.

Richmond and Silver Top look forward to a successful NAB Cup campaign in ’06 and continued growth of their partnership over the coming years.

And, don’t forget that number when you want quick, reliable taxi service – 131 008.

Gotta say they looked better than last years ones but on the TV they still look like some blue colour not grey. Poor old Silver Top Taxis 2 years running tipping in the $$$ and only getting one weeks worth of TV promotion :-\

Actually it was great just to be able to read the numbers for a change  :rollin
