Glenelg’s Grand Final Guernsey

2 months ago – September 19, 2024

In the 2024 Grand Final our Club will proudly be wearing our historic gold guernsey with black V. For several years this clash guernsey has been worn for away games against Norwood, West, South and Port. Norwood, as minor premier, is the ‘home’ team in the premiership decider and will be wearing its navy guernsey and shorts.

The guernsey Glenelg will be wearing in the Grand Final reflects the Club’s proud heritage – it is in the style of the jumper the Tigers wore 90 years ago on Adelaide Oval when winning our first premiership, against Port Adelaide in 1934. The playing group is strongly in favour of wearing this jumper, meaning there clearly will be no clash.

Club CEO Justin Scripps said “whilst visually it makes sense to wear our clash guernsey, more importantly as a Club and playing group, we felt it fitting to pay respect to our heritage and honour those that paved the way for us some 90 years ago. Our traditional black guernsey will always be our primary jumper, but we also love the design and symbolic nature of wearing our gold guernsey.”

It will be just the second time Glenelg has worn this guernsey in a Grand Final, so let’s hope the winning tradition continues.
