Founded in 1873, the St Kilda Football Club played its inaugural AFL match against Carlton. To mark the milestone the Saints will celebrate with several initiatives throughout the year including donning a heritage guernsey featuring the names of every player to have worn the red, white and black against the Blues in Round 7.
Members and supporters will have a once in a lifetime chance to own this replica of the Club’s first ever guernsey featuring the names of 1551 past and present Saints players.
The guernsey is among several commemorative merchandise items that have been created to honour St Kilda’s 140 year history and its values of strength and loyalty with the 2013 Members’ scarf featuring a unique 140 year logo.?
Purchase a copy of St Kilda’s 140th anniversary book, ‘Strength Through Loyalty’, which recounts the fascinating story of the Club over the past half a century.
Following the groundbreaking move of the Club’s headquarters to Moorabbin, the book tracks St Kilda’s rise to a premiership in 1966 to the perilous depths of the mid 1980’s and the more recent accolades of competing for a second flag.
Told through the eyes of players, coaches and officials, the book examines the drama and delights that have enthralled Saints’ fans over their lifetime, revealing never-before-seen images and analysis of the Saints.
This book is a must for anyone whose heart beats red, white and black and is available in hard cover or in a deluxe leather-bound edition.
Only 300 limited-edition copies of ‘Strength Through Loyalty’ are available in a deluxe leather-bound volume, which will be signed by a St Kilda player who has appeared in more than 300 games.
2013 Members are encouraged to place an advance order before the book’s release in May.
