To the legends, the 200 gamers, the 199 to 1 gamer, the good average players, the just average players, the first and only gamers, the one seasoners, the pre-seasoners, the non-life members, the has-beens and the never-was’s.
There’s no doubt you’ve played alongside some champions and witnessed first-hand their natural qualities which made them so, year after year, opponent after opponent in rain, hail, mud or shine, our legends always found a way.
Realistically though for most, our footy days were a mix of shattered dreams, opportunities missed, and getting dropped to the twos for no bloody reason! We all endured concussions, shredded ligaments, blood curdling corkies, broken jaws, busted noses and torn hammy’s along the way.
After all was said and career was done, one momentous occasion was absorbed amongst the chaos; it was the excitement of being named in the Panthers league team for the very first time. On reflection, surely this was the highlight of all our careers. “You’ve made the league team” your family and friends would say - the anticipation, the well wishes, the build-up and nervousness of pulling on the famous blue and white guernsey inside “the sheds” for one of the oldest and proudest clubs in the land, when playing your first league game.
First games often didn’t go quite to plan, even more so, your last games. So, when the boots were hung up and the cheering went silent, no one really said goodbye, we all just moved on & got on with our lives. Something was missing though & we think we’ve found it with an ol ‘baggie blue’.
Time in footy is marked with numbers; on your jumper, games played, goals tally, kicks, handballs, training sessions attended, training sessions missed, hangers & clangers, big contracts, small contracts, times dropped, seasons played, beers after the game, time in the showers, footy trips, card games, best and fairest votes - it’s always been a numbers game.
Now you’ve got a new number; a unique personalised league debut number proudly displayed on a ‘baggie blue’. This cap has been designed subtlety so it can be worn discreetly but proudly while out walking, talking, golfing, fishing, riding & sliding, drinking a beer, working a plough or wearing it right now!
