As has been the case for the past three years, the club has proudly tried to depict its SANFL heritage.
This year’s guernsey has incorporated the colours of the 10 SANFL clubs of 1990 – when the Crows were formed – and these colours meld into the club’s heritage shield with the Latin wording “Natus-ad-magna-gerenda” (translation, Born to Great Things).
On the other side of the shield are the current navy blue, red and gold hoops that make up the home guernsey the club has worn since its first season in 1991.
The SANFL logo will again be displayed on the back of the guernsey, with player names and debut numbers on the right of the front.
Adelaide chief executive officer Steven Trigg said: “The club will continue to do its best to recognise all 10 SANFL clubs who provided our club with its players, coaches, officials, administration staff and, most importantly, its members and supporters, when the club first started.
“Without the collective input from all the SANFL clubs and the league our club would not exist. It is a great opportunity to once again recognize our club’s heritage and pay tribute to the SANFL and its clubs who were instrumental in establishing our club.”
Orders for the guernsey, restricted to 200, can be placed at CROWmania from today.
The club has a host of activities planned for Heritage Week leading up to the Kangaroos game at AAMI Stadium. There will also be some celebratory memorabilia designed to mark captain Mark Ricciuto’s 300th game, that barring any mishaps is due to be played on the same night.
