Question

Have the sydney swans always had red and white striped socks?

Answer 1

I think so. It's an away game for them though, so it might not be the same as what they wear for a home game. They're doing pretty well at the moment though eh? 39 points up at 3/4 time!

Answer 2

yes, part of the old South Melbourne traditon.

GO THE SWANNIES FOR BACK TO BACK FLAGS

Answer 3

im not sure i thort they used 2 wear just red socks

Answer 4

Yes even when they were South Melbourne

Answer 5

No not always.

Traditionally they wore the striped socks.

In fact nowadays they mostly wear the all red socks.

The AFL wants teams to not clash with each other, so the Swans wear the striped socks where there may be a clash.

You'll see over the next year all teams will have an away jumper too.

Answer 6

The "candy strips" as they are known were South Melbourne's old socks, so when the Swans play in Melbourne they wear them, or if they are wearing the old South Melbourne jumper for Heritage week.
