Emus unveil new look

The club is celebrating its 60th anniversary and the specially designed jerseys will be used this year only, to commemorate the occasion.

They look slightly different than the usual bottle green guernseys and are also made of a different fabric.

The jerseys take advantage of advances in playing attire technology and president Phil McGarity is ecstatic with the new look.

"They're fantastic, now we have just got to perform," he said.

"Mick (Wallace) designed the new uniform and we wanted something to represent the 60th (anniversary).

"It's to have a special strip for this year to mark the 60th and we'll go back to our normal next year."

All teams from under 13's through to first grade will wear the new jerseys.

The 60th anniversary is proving a big shot in the arm for the club with numbers strong in all grades.

McGarity is now looking to the strength off the field transferring to on-field performances.

"We're looking pretty good this year," McGarity said. "The 60th and plus having Richard back, they're two big draw cards for us this year."
