Some say you play only as well as you look, with the guernsey in footy serving as a pillar of the game's heritage and tradition. That's not to say some have definitely gone through some modern re-designs and changes to get where we are now.

Though some clubs have upheld tradition by keeping theirs mostly the same throughout the decades, this is respectable, but it still won't earn them any fashion points in climbing up the list.

Here I'm looking for what stands out in creativity, how the colours mix and just personally how I view them.

Who says purple can't be worn on the footy field? The dark people isn't too out there and the white striped design resembling an anchor is a nice modern interpretation of what once was, with the exclusion of the green probably one of the Purple Haze's best decisions.
