  Stop stuffing around and put the bloody thing on.

  Got all my paraphenalia already on display and wear my Blue'n'Gold at least once a week.

   

  I'm swear I am 30cms taller - a lot slimmer and fitter when I am wearing it.

  Poetic..

   

  Not quite Dorothea Mackellar:-  

  "I Love a sunburnt country,

  A land of sweeping plains,

  Of ragged mountain ranges,

  Of droughts and flooding rains....

   

  or even: All American rejects:-

  I wake up every evening with a big smile on my face

  And it never seems out of place

  And your still probably working, at a 9 - to - 5 pace,

  I wonder how bad that tastes,

  when you see my face hope it gives you hell....

   

  Maybe we can write a poem about Parra:- Something like this comes to mind. (With apologies to Coleridge)

   

  In Parramatta did Jack Gibson a stately-pleasure dome decree, where the river ran through pollution measureless to man, A savage place, holy and enchanted where blue and gold would wail upon their demon opposition.....

  (Yes obviously I'm on a break and bored.)

  My fav is the 1981 Gold jersey. Had some shocker's after the 1986 jersey though.

  Yep,I am the same...I always look at my jersey(s) when I open my closet.

  I have a predominately blue one with thin gold stripes(70's style),an 80's one with HARDIE on it,a late 90's one and a modern one from 3 years ago.

  Just need a predominately blue 2011 one now !!!! (Proud to wear my Parra jerseys always but the hardest part is choosing which one to wear!)

  I didn't like this jersey either ! Too many lines of various width ( I like the 4 lines ) of old

  I prefer the white logo on the blue heritage 2010 jersey. but the 2011 collar -- I bought the 2010 jersey and that will do me for this season .. its jersey #12 for me -- and my favourite design of all of them (even if it is missing the extra two half strips from the 1980's)

   

  Either way, the 2011 jerseys are classics!!

  the 2005 jersey was the worst, we looked like we were wearing yellow and dark purple instead of blue.

  This is the worst ever jersey! The away shirt in 2001-2003 -- particularly this one with the 'space aged football collar'. Mind you only just beating the special M&M jersey work for a match around the same time (can't find an image).
