Speaker 1 (00:00):
Steve Mitchell is here from the Titans, the CEO. Thanks
very much for coming in, mate, go beer.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, look, there's been a bit of a hunt on
for the old Captain Chargers outfit costume.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
We've chad about.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
On air and drive.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's been trending on different social medias and you're in
here to tell us something exciting about it because the
people are invested.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
We've located him suit, We've got the suit, we've got captain. Well,
have you Charger himself? Have you located the sock that's
more famous than the suit? I've heard about this, so yeah,
it's a musk.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
We're going to get it cleaned.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Nineteen ninety seven was a big year for the Charges
in the Gold Coast because they made finals and Phil
Economedes was the coach and he was kind of a
bit of a rebel and the whole.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Community got behind them.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
So it was kind of like this outlier sort of
season where they made impact.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
They won a final, and then back then there were
you know was it was additional environmental hard work, a
league town, a lot of a lot of stars, a
lot of people that lean back and those and reminisced
about those players that were there and what that meant,
and they are the forerunners of you know, where we're
at and what that means moving forward. So a lot
of people, I think, from a history perspective, went back
in that. I remember those days. You know, that was

(01:12):
special to me. And our commercial partners are really good.
We reshaped all their logos so it looked like the
home Timmer and Hardware logo, and we made the jersey
as close as we could possibly get it. And then
you've got the lights of press down on that jersey
with JC out there, and it SATs in there, and
you know, there's still a lot of those people that
are around these days. There definitely is, and there was
those early aspirations about our city and what it can do,

(01:34):
and I think that those aspirations are still alive. It's
a great looking kid, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Girlfriendly, I've got to say.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, absolutely. The girls are buying them in a dozens,
so I've been really it's really really good. We're going
to do a couple of lines off of that. We'll
do Bob and Jack and a few different pieces. Say
there'll be some stuff to come as.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Well, but it's retros, back in retros, back well.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Then got everyone talking about the captain charger suit and
where was it?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
So happened next we.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Went out to the public and basically said where is
this suit? We've had a and there was some social
media acknowledgments around where it was last sightings. It's been
like a missing person sort of campaign and that's that
for some time, and there's been a fair bit of
conjecture about it. But we've got a hands on it.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, so it's ready to go.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
We just got it. We can't wait this weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Who have you got for the suit? Because like the
OG or one of the OG captain charges is right here,
Like are you paying some young lad if.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
You're going to captain aside? You need the bloke who's
been around for some time. We were experienced first and foremost.
You're gone up against the panthers, right, so you can't
go with it with a novice or aqu is coming
to it.

Speaker 2 (02:39):

Speaker 5 (02:39):

on doing that.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
How we brought Steven rather than on the phone.

Speaker 4 (02:50):

Speaker 3 (02:54):

thing has been about thirty years.

I might do it.

To seven one, one nine.

less Maniac version?

but you know you've got to do what you have
to do.
