Corey Sleep from Nunawading - RED is the universal colour of power, danger, blood, heat, strength, desire, passion. A sash is worn by men of battle, honour, regard, bravery, success. PROUD. UNITED. EXCITED.
Michael Casey from Narre Warren North - It means the players have made a personal commitment. The RED sash separates effort from average. It identifies unity above partiality. The sash is our oath, it crosses our heart.
Thanks to all who entered.
