They ad a training top this year that was a grey colour. I'll try and find a pic :)

Here's a pic of the grey training singlet:



I don't mind the idea for the preseason comp. but I wish we showed more creativity with our design than just a plain colour with the tiger motif bunged on the front  :P

Drink drive - Silvertop - sounds like a good sponsorship fit with TAC.

Easy fit - If you Drink, don't drive, catch a Silvertop cab home instead  :thumbsup

Yellow and Black cabs would look good :thumbsup.

Would Connex be upset with us promoting another form of transport?

Pretty lame, but it's the Wizard Cup so no big drama.

I thought it was a good little earner "for the night" but found it difficult at times to distinguish between the two teams.

Didn't really like them that much!

I could put up with it for that game, but if we had won i think i would of gotten fairly annoyed with them in the next game!

I didn't dislike it watching it live. Just think it's pretty dull. It's good to earn some extra $ from it for the night but from a merchandise perspective, which is an area we have struggled at, you wouldn't reckon kids would be rushing out to buy one.

Looked like grey ghosts.  Do you still have them in Melb?  I remember when I worked in Camberwell they were always around.
