breathtakingly beautiful, especially the 1919 with the Flag

Suppose this was THE Flag of 1919, strange it has "Sturt" on it, perhaps two Flags were made for the Grand Finalists, one awarded to winner, the other one binned??

Fear it is not in existence today, fantastic to have a photo of it!)

it would be great to have a time machine and watch how footy was played back then...

also, cant imagine the ladies getting all excited with how they looked back then...the blokes basically wearing long pants and the girls all covered up Smile

excellent pics Smithy!!

looked everywhere for a 1923 Members Badge in the photo, laughs

Interesting as late as 1940 there were no scarves etc with team colours, I wonder which era these came to vogue, 1950's as a guess??

there is a photo I have seen taken from under the Scoreboard of Adel Oval looking out over the ground in the 1930's, EVERYONE had a Hat on, there was standing room only in the entire ground, and it was for a Sheffield Shield game SA vs NSW or VIC~!~~

how times have changed!~

Yes thanks Smithy, great memorabilia. I notice in that last photo they're wearing (black?) arm bands. It would be fascinating to know who that was for.
