I miss it about as much as I miss Mark Harvey.

It’s one of the best in the competition.The old jumper was peak Freo and I love it. I reckon we should go back it it. The chevrons represent nothing.
Souths smouths. Like i said, represent nothing.Don’t the chevrons go back to south’s? I remember a heritage jumper that had them
Yep. I think navigation markers or something similar
They had the number panel on all of their SANFL jumpers. I actually don't mind it even though their actual strip is pretty half arsed and half committed.Port stuffed theirs up by putting that stupid white panel back.
If Freo was a block of chocolate we would be Fruit and Nut!Love the Purple with chevrons. Its classy.
Love that we are the only side with purple in the AFL. Classy, distinctive and unique.
Our major sponsor should also be Cadbury....You know it makes sense
or just Old Dogs --- (From Old Easts and Bulldogs )Nah, Shark-dogs with Jackson as our mascot
Which Purple haze jumper are you refering to? I cannot picture itI miss the anchor, but I want the Purple haze jumper. Still the best we had.

Fremantle Yeah-nah-heysNah, Shark-dogs with Jackson as our mascot
Unfortunately the AFL wouldnt allow for some expletives, otherwise we'd be the biggest club in the state!Fremantle Yeah-nah-heys
It was touted at the time.We should be an amalgamation of east and south Freo i.e The Fremantle Bullsharks (purple).
Thanks.
The obsession with the white panel is weird. Just doesn’t mix today.They had the number panel on all of their SANFL jumpers. I actually don't mind it even though their actual strip is pretty half arsed and half committed.
It's basically navy which appeals to sponsors for some weird reason, never really got the thought behind it. West Coast went back to the royal blue and they're still playing with money. sponsors are basically rich blokes who want to hang around the blokes who didn't give them the time of day back in school, they don't care about colourschemes –just success.Like others, I love the nostalgia that our original jumpers evoke but don’t miss seeing us play in those colours on a weekly basis.
When watching back our old games, especially from the first few years, what stands out to me is the vibrancy of the purple hue we had at the time. It almost seems to glow a bit.
Our current shade of purple is obviously more marketable and much better suited for merchandising, but it’s come at the cost of some of the zaniness and colourfulness that helped draw me to the club in the first place.
Sekem supplied the Eagles for the last few years. Castore never delivered their playing gear so Sekem produced it and just chucked the Castore logo on everything.Not about the jumpers, but I'm stoked with our Sekem relationship. Backing a local entity rather than a Multi Multi National Brand was a something I thought would never happen. The mob up the road should take a leaf and jump on board also but it would be too hum drum for them.
