With its brand-new Crest front and center, St Kilda will proudly wear three of its most iconic and fan-favourite guernseys in the new Saints Footy era, which begins in 2025.

The Saints’ “Hot Cross” guernsey will make a much-anticipated return as the primary clash strip in 2025, joining the club’s classic tricolour (home) and candy stripe (alternate) kits, the latter of which was reintroduced to the roster this season for the first time in nearly two decades.

In 2025, the candy stripe and hot cross guernseys will be worn on the same pitch for the first time.

The 2025 home guernsey keeps a timeless appearance ingrained in the memories of the red, white, and black, with numerous essential components central to St Kilda’s identity, including the redesigned Crest encased inside a black box to reflect the traditional look of previous periods. The guernsey collars and cuffs have been changed to plain white from the pinstriped style of the previous two years.

The hot cross guernsey has the same all-red back as in 2022 and 2023, but keeps the pinstriping from 2023. Meanwhile, aside from the new Crest, the fan-favourite candy stripe will stay intact from last year and will be worn for the club’s Retro Round fixture as well as select games during the 2025 season.

To honor Saints’ heritage, the phrases “Fortius Quo Fidelius” and “Strength Through Loyalty” will be printed on the hemlines of each guernsey, replacing the previous Crest’s ribbon placement.

Future St Kilda guernseys for 2025, including the Gather Round, Sir Doug Nicholls Round, and others, will be revealed in the next year.
