I did too !
And it was worn for a great cause which could easily be reinforced each time it was worn.
It would therefore stand for something in the community.
Muzza,I think you are onto something here...
Coming up with a great charity jumper (that could be any colour) that looks great/different and helps a great cause. Shows the club has a soul and is leading the way with new ideas.
Dare we suggest the yellow one that raises money for breast cancer awareness?
The powder blue one for Royal Childrens Hospital on a game played on Good Friday?
Maybe a cool green one for a Visy recycling promotion etc?
Somebody stop me!!
Yes, I've been thinking about this for a while now.
AFL footballers play such a significant visible and potentially influential role in the community.
I teach sport sociology at tertiary level and always invite my students to reflect upon the role 'visible' athletes can play in the broader community. Four unique jumpers each year with proceeds going to worthy causes would be a wonderful gesture. Imagine on the Thursday before the Good Friday game (if we never get the Good Friday game) selling the jumpers outside the ground with a board telecasting the numbers of sales and dollars being turned over the Children's Hospital appeal.
And yes other colours to coincide with other causes.
This could be a very significant move from the football club to promote the club as having a social conscience and do some good in the community.
