Just a reminder that the Box Hill Hawks will be playing in a predominantly 'silver' strip against Sandringham this Saturday in the 'VFL Match of the Day' on ABC/TV.
Caught a glimpse of the jumper today. Its basically a silver top with brown and gold V's (like the old croweaters top only different colors), and a wide brown middle stripe with a white mustang inside the stripe.
Go those Silver Tops.

Looking forward to seeing it.
I wasn't a huge fan of the silver jumper, but it made it easier to tell between the two teams.
Silver jumpers and brown and gold socks is an interesting combo though. :P
Will this jumper re-appear on Sunday v Werribee?
Sure will footyman.
Should save some confusion. Good idea.
Could get some reflection off the jumpers if the sun comes out again. 8)
Can someone tell me why the jumper was worn today, against Port Melbourne? Surely the Borough and Box Hill jumpers don't clash normally.
I'm with you footyman. I thought it looked stupid and unclear to see in the wet, muddy conditions.
Perhaps the idea was that the Silver jumpers had less chance of getting dirty than the regular jumpers, and thus it would be easier for the players to distinguish whom is whom.
In essence - I dunno.
Guys , it was a pure continuity thing. We'd worn the jumper twice and won twice. If we'd got through to the GF we'd most likely have been playing Sandy and be asked to wear it again. Rather than chopping and changing twice in 3 weeks it was decided to wear it right through the series.
Confidence ?......... getting ahead of ourselves ? I guess we have to wear that criticism now but , hey , it seemed like a good idea at the time !
Have to agree that , in hindsight , the guernsey didn't look too flash covered in mud.
