With its brand-new Crest front and centre, St Kilda will proudly wear three of its most iconic and fan-favourite guernseys in the new era of Saints Footy heading into 2025.
The Saints' "Hot Cross" guernsey will make a much-anticipated return as the primary clash strip for 2025, accompanying the club’s classic tricolour (home) and candy stripe (alternate) kits, the latter of which was reintroduced to the roster this season just gone for the first time in almost two decades.
2025 will mark the first time both the candy stripe and hot cross guernseys will appear on-field in the same season.
The 2025 home guernsey retains a timeless look engrained into the memories of the red, white and black with several key elements central to St Kilda’s identity, among them the revised Crest bound within in a black box to mirror classic look of eras past. New alterations include the guernsey’s collars and cuffs reverting to solid white as opposed to the pinstriped look of the past two years.
The hot cross guernsey features a striking all-red back as it did throughout 2022 and 2023, however retains the pinstriping elements of the 2023 season. Meanwhile, the fan-favourite candy stripe will remain unchanged from last year — aside from the new Crest — and will be worn for the club's Retro Round fixture and select games during the 2025 season.
In homage to Saints history, the words Fortius Quo Fidelius and Strength Through Loyalty will be printed into the hemlines of each guernsey; the former in lieu of its placement on the ribbon of the previous Crest.
Future St Kilda guernseys for 2025, including Gather Round, Sir Doug Nicholls Round and more, will be confirmed in the new year.
