Minyip-Murtoa is into the final two of the 'Country Footy Scores' poll, which has captured the imagination of the football fraternity.
As of Monday, more than 16,000 people had voted for their favourite jumper in country football.
Four Wimmera clubs were included in a 'Top 16', with Jeparit-Rainbow reaching the semi-finals of the playoff style voting system.
The Storms' iconic green, white and black lightning eventually lost to the Tungamah Bears' maroon design.
The Burras' blue, black and white prison bars design was born from the 1995 merger, when Murtoa and Minyip's colours married together to produce the unique jersey.
Minyip-Murtoa narrowly snuck past the semi-finals in the voting, beating the Longwood Football Netball Club by 5 per cent.
Voting is open on the Country Footy Scores website, with the winner announced on September 5.
