Thanks.

I've done all the GWS ones again.

So now I've just got to the Collingwood sponsors to go.

Cool , good luck with it mero. Can I ask a few questions , 1st regarding sponsors... Did South Melbourne ever have Swann Insurance as a sponsor
in the 70s / early 80s (Before 1982)? and 2 about uniforms , in the 1877 Footballer publication , under Bendigo's uniform , it mentions at the end of it as them having " Balmorals" , would that refer to a type of boot? , and under Toorak's uniform , part of it mentions them having a turban?

All of it is here.

Sponsored their training jumpers, which meant they were on the footy cards, but never on the game day jumpers.
As for Balmoral, I wouldn't mind betting it was a beret type of cap which were called Balmorals after the Castle.

Thanks Klim and Mero , I saw a Francis Jackson footy card online yesterday with Swann on his jumper.

 

[Stiubhart]

Aye

 

[Mero]

More likely the cap than the boots.
They look a bit flash for country footy.

I have changed some of the uniforms on the Carlton All Uniform page.
Prefer the old or the new?
One benefit the new one has is when you click on it it's much larger.
Thoughts, anyone?

 

[Fizzler]

New one.

 

[SgtSchulz]

I blame the SANFL and the other SANFL clubs who tried to block our move up to the big league.

The AFC itself didn't really do anything.

Haha Norwood blocking us essentially killed themselves.

Just had a look mero , personally I like them both , new model man is a bit more human like , detail in the uniforms is awesome. Both types of models and uniforms either way give out visually what you're trying to portray to people visiting FJ. Will you possibly be updating to the newer uniform / model for other clubs? (a hell of a lot of work I know) , either way it still looks great.

 

[Mero]

the plan is to do all of them eventually.

I like the new one. The clear background means there is less noise (minor, I know, but it's still an improvement) and the larger linked image is a big plus. I also think overall it just makes the page cleaner when looked at as a whole.

Mero are you going to make a Pre-AFL page for Gold Coast and GWS?

Yes

 

[flyersfan]

That website is fantastic

Just started on the footy one now

So far the footy one looks like this:

Now, it's not finished, though it will be in the next day or so.
But would anyone be interested in one when it is finished?
I'm thinking of selling them through the website.
I believe I have a printer who can print and send them and make it worthwhile for $25 or so.
It will be A2, so 4 pieces of A4 paper in size.
Perfect for Fathers Day coming up, birthdays and Christmas.
Close up they look like this:

If it works I was thinking of getting the sponsor pages printed too.
So if you're a Saints supporter you can have this on your wall
(and all the other teams too)

I'd buy the Melbourne Cup one.

So far the footy one looks like this:

My OCD has kicked in because there's 11 jumpers per line, and each line doesn't depict a decade (or part thereof). Sorry.

If it works I was thinking of getting the sponsor pages printed too.

It may just be me, but I can't image this would be very popular at all. But then again, I don't have a man-cave to show off any sports memorabilia, etc.

To be honest I've only had one person ever ask about it, and he was the guy from one of the sponsors.

I nearly cried when I saw this . There are colours on there my (late) distant cousins wore in riding Cup winners. Would you be offended if I jokingly called you the Oogac of FJ&GD?

How do you work out when they are wearing long or short sleeve jumpers in the early years? From actual premiership team photos?

Yes, exactly. Whatever most of the team were wearing.
And sometimes it comes down to a difference of one or two players.

 

[Mero]

The new template is coming along.

Casboult's looking great, Mero
